Configuring Solo and Monitor Options
Solo and monitor options are configured in the Solo and Monitor
Operations section of the Options > Busses page.
Auxes Follow AFL
When this option is selected, soloing an Aux output from the
Global Control encoders assigns Aux Send level and pan controls
for that bus to the channel encoders of the currently banked input
channels.
The
Auxes Follow AFL option is especially useful for monitor
mixing, because it provides instant access to any mix by soloing
the mix output.
To set Auxes to assign send controls to the channel encoders
when soloed:
1 Go to the Options page and click the Busses tab.
2 Under Solo and Monitor Operation, select the Auxes Follow
AFL
option.
To cancel display of Aux send controls:
 Unsolo the Aux bus. The Input Encoders return to their previ-
ous display.
– or –
 Select any other parameter for the Input Channel encoders to
override the Aux follows AFL display. The encoders display
the selected parameter until another Aux output is soloed.
AFL Follows Auxes
When AFL Follows Auxes is selected, assigning an Aux Send to
channel encoders automatically solos that Aux bus. This speeds
up AFL access, specifically for monitor mixing.
The AFL Follows Auxes setting is stored and recalled with each
Show file. By default, the option is off (not selected).
To set AFL to follow Aux encoder assignment:
1 Go to the Options page and click the Busses tab
2 In the Solo and Monitor Operations section, select the AFL Fol-
lows Auxes
option.
3 Assign Aux or Variable Group sends to the Channel encoders
or to Channel Control. The Aux or
To cancel (unsolo) in AFL Follows Auxes mode:
 Press the flashing Solo Clear button.
Auto Cancel and Input Priority
The Auto Cancel option determines whether Solo switches cancel
other soloed channels or are additive (latching). The Input Prior-
ity option determines whether soloed inputs replace soloed out-
puts on the AFL/PFL Solo bus.
Auto Cancel On, Input Priority Off A solo cancels all other solos
(inputs and outputs)
Auto Cancel On, Input Priority On An input solo cancels all
other soloed inputs; an output solo cancels all other output solos;
soloed inputs temporarily replace soloed outputs
Auto Cancel Off, Input Priority Off Solos are additive, and so-
loed inputs and outputs are heard together
Auto Cancel Off, Input Priority On Solos are additive, and soloed
inputs temporarily replace soloed outputs.
Mix to Monitors
This option sends the Main mix signal to the Monitor bus. When
enabled (lit), the Main mix is present in the Headphones (or
near-field monitors when a hardware output is assigned to the
Monitor bus) whenever channels are not soloed. This option mir-
rors the functionality of the
Mix to Monitors switch.
Solo controls on the Options > Busses tab
If the encoders were already flipped to the faders, flipped
status is maintained when an Aux bus is soloed.
The Events list can be used to assign the Solo Clear function
to a footswitch or any other available trigger.

Monitor Bus” on page 134.
