>> To navigate the mix bus processing area to the channel strip
Press the quick access button in the mix section of the desired input fast strip.
This does not aect the current population of the output fast zone.
You can select an aux bus or matrix bus processing area on the GUI by clicking on
the title of the desired bank of mix buses in the input channel overview of the
GUI channel strip (see Figure 17, “Typical sends sections of the mixes in the
GUI channel strip,” in chapter 9).
Flip
Flip provides a more global approach to mix bus level control. Normally you can
only use the level control knobs in the channel strips to adjust the signal level of
the aux/matrix mix buses going to the aux/matrix channels. However, by using
ip, you have the option of controlling them from either the pan control knobs or
the faders in the input fast strips.
In Flip mode, the left/right arrow buttons in the upper channel select section
scroll across the input fast strips.
To congure the control centre for pan or fader ip:
1. At the GUI, choose HOME>Preferences>General.
2. Depending on which option you require, click the option button of one of the
following in the Fader Flip section. When an option is selected,
it will contain a red circle:
“Flip to Faders”
“Flip to Pans”
To ip mixes to input pan/fader control:
With an output selected on the control surface press ip. The button will
illuminate to show you are in “Flip” mode. The currently-selected mix bus in the
input fast strips will change to AuxS1 and, on the GUI, the background colour of
the pans and faders will change accordingly.
Also, the LCD select button in the input fast strips will display the
current bus mode.
FX
When the FX button is illuminated, if an aux or matrix bus has an eect patched
to it, the eect will be displayed on the GUI when that aux/matrix is selected.
Similarly, a selected channel with an inserted eect with also display the eect.
This makes navigation of the eects section very quick.
This mode is great when mixing FOH and you want to change eects on the y.
GEQ (Graphic Equalizer)
When an Aux or Matrix Bus has a GEQ assigned to it, it is possible to “ip” the
GEQ to the centre VCA/POP section.
1. Select the GEQ which illuminates to become active.
2. Select the Aux/Matrix bus using the LCD select buttons in the output
fast zone section.
3. Now the 8 faders in the VCA/POP section display the frequencies of the GEQ.
4. Use the arrows at either end of the VCA/POP section to change the
frequencies displayed for the GEQ.
5. You can adjust each fader of the GEQ individually. If you want to reset an
individual frequency of the GEQ to 0 dB, simply press the associated
LCD display above.
6. Reset all frequency bands by pressing and holding < > keys.
MCA (Mix Control Association)
If you are mixing in-ear monitors, this function could make the process easier.
The best way to think of MCA operation is as individual ip mode for VCA control
of Aux and Matrix sends, independent of the main VCA settings (if the input
channel contributions are set pre-fade).
MCAs allow channels assigned to an MCA to be changed by the same amount.
For example, if all the drum inputs are in an MCA, turning that MCA up in Aux 1
by +3 dB will add +3 dB of level for each channel in the MCA to that aux send.
Another good use of MCAs is to group all the keyboards or hard disk playback
channels together, giving independent single fader control within an
Aux or Matrix send for each musician.
MCAs use the same groupings as the main VCAs. To enter MCA mode,
simply hit the MCA button. The faders in the centre VCA/pop section will show
the currently-selected aux or matrix and the name of the MCA/VCA.
You don’t have to be in Flip mode to adjust an MCA level.
