DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
Processing Functions Auto-Mixer
Automix Matrix
Accessed by pressing the Auto-mix Martian button in the Signal Path
window. This window is an interactive overview of all the possible
automix routings assignments and priorities. There are three main
automix functions; Ducking, NOM and Adaptive Gating and these
work as a group.
Ducking is based upon the 16 inputs, these inputs are assigned a
priority (1 being the highest) and involves cutting an input based upon
a gate being open for a higher priority. NOM is a reduction based
upon how many open mics are in the group and Adaptive Gating
moves the threshold of the gate based upon an external source.
Colours denote the type of function assigned from the input to the
automix group, Blue=Ducking, Yellow=NOM and Green=Adaptive
Gating. Assignments set up in the matrix take on the colour of the
active function and, if two or more functions are set up then the colour
will change to red. If the individual input enable switches are off then
the colours become faint and, if the group functions are disabled then
the numbers become white although the assignment remains.
The group function is enabled by clicking on the rows (either Duck,
Nom or Gate) at the top of the window. Clicking on the Group row
numbers at the very top of the window accesses the group controls
window for that group number.
