MONO INPUT CHANNEL
For a graphical explanation of the interface
configuration switches, and interface routing
options please refer to page 39.
DAW send source switch
Switch A determines the source for the interface send for each channel. In
the up position the source is just after the pre-amp and Hi pass filter. If
pressed in, then the source is from after the EQ IN switch. One or the other
signal will always be sent to the interface.
INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
A
DAW return to channel (Pre Insert) switch
Switch B selects the source for the channel to be the interface return, which
is switched in at just before the channel insert point. In other words the pre-
amp signal is replaced by the interface return for that channel just before the
insert point.
B
DAW return to channel (Post EQ) switch
Switch C selects the source for the channel at a point after the EQ. So if
pressed, the channel signal from the EQ is replaced with the interface return
for that channel which then feeds the fader and also the pre-fade sends.
C
D
Fader Bypass switch
Switch D allows the channel level control element of the fader to be by-
passed at unity gain. This is useful when using the fader purely as a MIDI con-
trol device when also utilising the channel audio path for mixing or monitor-
ing but not wanting fader movements to affect the channel signal level.
Mute Switch
This mutes or cuts the signal to the mix buses, the post-fade Auxes and the
pre-fade Auxes (where muting is enabled). A rectangular LED illuminates to
show the Mute switch is pressed. The “soft” mute circuit has a time constant
of 30mS for minimum Fourier clicks caused by sharp edges, and can be trig-
gered by soloing another channel in Solo in Place mode.
Solo/Select Switch
The channel solo/select switch is multi-functional switch that operates as a
channel solo switch or a MIDI select switch to control DAW parameters,
The modes are set by selector switches in the master section and are as fol-
lows:
1) PFL: Sends a pre-fade (also pre-mute) signal from the channel to the
monitoring system.
2) AFL: Sends an after-fade (also post pan) signal to the monitoring sys-
tem.
3) Solo in Place: Any pressed solo switches will mute other mono input
or stereo input channels (unless SiP safed) unless their solo switches
are pressed also (in ADD mode).
4) Select: The channel monitoring is disabled and the switch sends a MIDI
message. The LED illumination can be tallied internally or can be tal-
lied by the DAW in order to maintain synchronisation of status.
Fader
A 100mm fader controls the level of the channel signal path to mix buses and
post-fade auxes. The mono channel faders can also be used as MIDI control-
lers for parameters in DAW software. On the GS-R24M the faders are mo-
torised, further information on page 32.
