MIX operations.
Fader Operation:
When the green “fader” LED is lit, the Rotary Display
shows “F” to indicate that the rotaries are controlling
channel faders. The bottom row of the LCD will indicate
channel fader level. Read the BURN section on page 19
to describe how to use these pots during automation
passes.
Pan Operation.
Press the MIX switch to change to pan. When the yellow
“pan” LED is lit, the rotary display shows “P” to indicate
that the rotaries are controlling channel pans. The bottom
row of the LCD will indicate channel pan setting. Push in
the rotary selector switch and the rotary display shows
“Pr” to indicate that the rotaries are controlling channel
pan right for stereo channels. If a channel is not stereo,
the LCD lower row will be blank for that channel.
Channel In/Out Assignment.
Press and hold SHIFT (on the Dashboard lower panel)
and then press “assign” on the Dashboard lower panel.
The SHIFT LED will light solid, and the “assign” LED will
flash to show that assignment is in process. During
assignment, the Burn Mode Switches and the Rotary
Mode Switches are all disabled.
The Rotary Display will show “In” for input assignment. If
you rotate the rotary selector clockwise, the Rotary
Display will show “Ou” for Output assignment. Rotate the
rotary selector counter clockwise, and the Rotary Display
will go back to “In” for input assignment.
Any SELECT LED’s that were on, now go off, and the top
row of the LCD will display the input or output assign-
ments for each channel in the current 8 channel view.
Rotate the rotary pots to move through the list of assign-
ment choices. The choices will appear on the LCD top
row as you do this. The bottom row of the LCD will show
where the current selection is in the list of choices.
When the SELECT LED flashes, it indicates that the
choice in that channel input or output assignment is not
the original one. When any channel SELECT is flashing,
you can not switch from “In” to “Ou” or “Ou” to “In” with
the Rotary Selector.
When the desired assignment is shown on the LCD,
press that channel’s SELECT switch. That will lock in that
assignment on that channel. The channel SELECT will
light solid to indicate it is locked in.
At this point you can continue to make similar changes in
the other 7 channels in this current view, or press the
Right or Left Arrow Switches to move to another view.
When you are done assigning inputs or outputs, you can
press the SEND, or PLUG IN Rotary Mode switches to
make assignments there. If you are done assigning
altogether, either press the “assign”, ESC, or the SHIFT
switch on the Dashboard lower panel. The “assign” and
SHIFT LED’s will go out.
SEND Operation.
SEND Mute.
When the green “mute” or yellow “pre/pst” LED is lit, the
Rotary Display shows “SA” to indicate that the rotaries
are controlling send A. Rotate the rotary selector
clockwise and the Rotary Display will move to “SB” for
send B, “SC” for send C and so on. The bottom row of
the LCD will indicate the channel send level for the
selected send.
When the green “mute” LED is lit, the MULTI switches
control the send mute state for the currently selected
send. A lit green MULTI LED indicates that the send is
muted. Press a channel MULTI switch to toggle the state
of the send mute.
SEND Pre/Post.
Press the SEND switch to change to pre/pst. When the
yellow “pre/pst” LED is lit, the MULTI switches control the
send pre/post state for the currently selected send. A lit
green MULTI LED indicates that the send is pre fader.
An unlit green MULTI LED indicates that the send is post
fader. When you press a MULTI switch, the pre/post state
toggles and also appears briefly on the top row of the
LCD.
