1.3.8 Channel Types ......................................................................
The signal flow of the SD11 is best understood in terms of the four channel types contained within it, shown below. Each channel
type offers full signal processing capabilities. As a summary, the four channel types are as follows:
- Input channels bring signals into the console to be mixed and sent to aux and group busses.
- Aux channels send a variety of mixes of the Input channels to the Aux outputs, mainly for use as monitor mixes and FX
sends.
-
Group channels mix groups of input channels together, to feed the buss outputs or the output matrix.
- Matrix channels send the outputs of the matrix to the console’s main outputs (Optionally).
The Group channels, Aux channels and Matrix channels are all referred to as output channels. While the Aux and Matrix channels
are the channel types most commonly routed to outputs, all four channel types can be routed directly to outputs.
Channels are laid out in banks of 12 on the console worksurface and can be identified by their colour: Light-blue for Input chan-
nels, red for Group channels, purple for Aux channels and blue-green for Matrix channels.
By default, the Input Channels are assigned to the banks in Layer 1 (along with Control Groups) and the output channels (Groups,
Auxes and Matrices) are assigned to the banks in Layer 2. These bank assignments can be customised by the user and saved in
a session at any time.
The controls on each different type of output channel are similar, but an input channel has a number of additional features.
