CHANNEL SAFE
CHANNEL SAFE key puts the console into edit safes
mode. This lets you isolate selected channels from
the automation so that memory recall and MIDI
changes do not overwrite their current settings. They
can still be changed manually. The key flashes red
when edit mode is selected. You can make selected
channels safe by pressing their mute keys while in
edit mode. If the safe key remains lit without
flashing in normal console mode this indicates that
one or more channels have been made safe.
The PERFORM SET keys are used during live
performance to recall the song memories in the
programmed set sequence order. These functions are
duplicated on footswitches.
NEXT key steps through the songs in order. Press the
key to instantly recall the next song memory. This
can be disabled by selecting ‘
NO SET’ in the HOME or
SET screen.
Operating NEXT overwrites the console
settings without confirmation. Disable this
function as described above if it is not required.
PAUSE key toggles the console between the current
patch (settings) and an alternative patch. This is like
switching between two control panels with different
settings. Changes made in either patch do not need
to be stored when selecting between the two.
However, you can store the current patch settings
into the pause patch using the
SONG screen..

PEAK
Each input, effect and output channel has an identical
strip of controls. These are used during performance
to check and control the signal levels to create the
required mix balance and output level.
MUTE key turns the signal on or off. The key
illuminates red if the channel is turned off (muted).
In edit safes mode the key flashes to indicate that the
channel has been isolated from the automation. Mute
key settings are stored in the song memories.
PFL key routes the selected channel signal to the
headphones and meters to check quality and level.
The signal is monitored pre fader so that it can be
checked before the fader is raised. In this way you
can set the channel gains before adding the signal to
the mix. Press the key to select PFL, press again to
deselect, or press another
PFL key to check a different
channel. Only one channel may be checked at a time.
The
PFL active indicator in the meter display and the
PFL key both illuminate to indicate that PFL is
selected. The signal is monitored in mono or stereo
depending on the source.
MUTE
PFL
PEAK indicator flashes the PFL key to warn that the
channel signal is approaching clipping and should be
reduced. If this happens turn back the gain control.
Press the
PFL key to check the level on the meters
when setting the gain. The signal is checked at two
points, before and after the fader.
Channel FADER adjusts the level of the signal in the
mix.. Normal operating position is marked as ‘0’.
The input channels offer 6dB gain above ‘0’. Always
start with the faders set to minimum. Fader settings
are not stored in the memories.
☺
Tip To provide a degree of level automation set
the input faders to ‘0’ and adjust for differences using
the
LEVEL TRIM function. These levels can be stored
and recalled from the song memories.
