D8B Manual • Chapter 2 • page 30
MASTER PAN
• Assigns all applicable channel V-Pots to act as
pan controls (channels 1–72 and 81–88).
• Stays lit continuously until an Aux Select,
Level to Tape, or Digital Trim button is engaged.
MASTER SOLO (Aux)
• Solos the currently selected Aux.
• Only one Aux can be soloed at a time.
• Master solo can be active at the same time a
channel is soloed.
• Aux bus remains soloed until it is manually
disengaged or until the CLEAR SOLO button
is pressed.
• Solo level is post the MASTER V-Pot.
• Master Solo is not affected by the PFL or AFL
Solo status selected in the Studio/Solo section.
V-Pot Assign Section
These buttons:
• Assign the channel V-Pots to control individual

AUX 1–8 Buttons (Default Operation)
This description highlights the default
configuration for aux sends and effects returns.
Keep in mind that the new D8B plug-in architecture
provides maximum flexibility and awesome creative
capabilities with respect to plug-ins, aux sends,
and returns.
• Pressing any Aux 1–8 assigns channel V-Pots
to control individual send levels to AUX 1–8
output.
• Each Aux 1–8 is simultaneously routed to the
corresponding 1/4" jack on the rear of the
console and to an internal effects processor.
• Patching from the Aux 1–8 jacks does not inter-
rupt the signal flow to the internal processors.
• Each Aux 1–8 acts as a mono send to a stereo
internal effects processor (MFX card only).
UFX cards offer complete flexibility.
• Auxes patched to the IVL Vocal Studio effects
return to four channels, either in stereo pairs
(second pair is the reverb return) or as four
separate channels.
AUX 9–10 and 11–12
• Configured differently than Auxes 1–8.
• Each channel has a stereo pair of controls:
one level and one pan. This is ideal for
phones/cue mixes or for an additional record-
ing feed in a live setting.
• Pressing Aux 9–10 assigns the channel V-Pot
to control the send level for the stereo pair.
• Pressing Pan under Aux 9–10 assigns the
channel V-Pot to adjust pan positioning between
the stereo pair.
• Aux 9–10 are not routed to the internal effects
processor by default, but may be assigned as
such in the plug-in configuration window.
• Aux 11–12 operates identically to Aux 9–10.
LEVEL TO TAPE
• Level to Tape assigns the channel V-Pots as
tape output level controls via the I/O cards.
• This control is post channel DSP and pre-
fader. Fader adjustments don’t affect tape
output levels.
• Facilitates optimizing the gain structure from
the beginning to the end of the signal path,
when used correctly.
• When Faders to Tape is active (in the Options
menu), the level to tape is controlled by the
source channel faders.
