Item Control Function
1
level/pan and
level control knobs
After the bus mix controls have been assigned to a mix pair, these controls oer control of relative contribution levels onto the active
buses. level/pan operates odd numbered controls, while level operates the even ones. For more information, see Table 19 “Function of
mix control knobs” shows their combined operation.
2 ON switches Switch bus assignment on/o.
3 PRE buttons Change signals sent to group buses from post-fader to pre-fader. When button is on, signal is pre-fader.
4 AFL switch
This after-fade listen stereo switch, only operates on the stereo pan and level style buses and lets the user accurately place the stereo
image on individual output channels.
The mix section — in both the mix and master bays — controls a bank of eight
buses per selected input channel, while, the one in the input fast strips controls
the currently selected channel bus. All will be displayed simultaneously.
In the GUI channel strip, the mix bus (sends) processing area has a similar layout
to the mix section (mix and master bays).
However, the input channel overview gives a simultaneous display of the
status of all buses. It displays the levels sent to the buses, shows which are on/o
and whether they are pre- or post-fader. For details, see diagram below.
Note: Although the ramps in the diagram appear to be pixelated, this is not the case
when these are viewed on the actual GUI. This is because the PRO X GUI incorporates
anti-aliasing to ensure its displays are crisp and clear.
1. Mix buses are brightly coloured when they are on.
2. Mix buses are dimmed when they are o.
3. Transition point of bus level where solid colour changes to translucent,
indicating 0dB. The level increases from left to right.
4. Ramp style indicates sends are post-fader.
5. Bar style indicates sends are pre-fader.
Operators sometimes need to access main faders and multiple auxes at the same
time. The ‘ip’ option places aux level controls onto the pan control knobs/faders
(see Figure 11 “Mix bus navigational controls” in chapter 7).
Desired buses are ipped using quick access buttons and the FLIP button. When
input faders are ipped the LCD switches all change colour to match bus colour
(red/yellow/blue/green) or become inverted text to indicate faders no longer
function in the normal way on the main channel path.
You can edit the levels on the GUI using drag.
After selecting a bus, control is via one of the following methods:
Bus type Control
Mono aux/matrix Level from fader; ON and PRE active
Stereo aux/matrix Level from fader; pan from main pan; ON and PRE active
Stereo aux/matrix Level from fader; pan from main pan; ON and PRE active
Mono group Post-main fader; ON active
Stereo group Post-main fader and pan; ON active
Mono mix minus Post-main fader; ON means ‘minussed’ from the bus
Stereo mix minus
Post-main fader and pan; ON means ‘minussed’
from the bus
Once the bus mix controls have been selected, they oer rotary control of relative
contribution levels onto the buses operating as shown in the following table.
