3
Use the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section keys
to select the send-destination MATRIX bus.
Only the LED of the corresponding key will blink,
indicating that it is selected as the send-destination.
4
Press the same key of the MIX/MATRIX
SELECT section once again.
The key will change from lit to blinking, and the LEDs
of the remaining keys in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT
section will light. This indicates that the LS9 is now in
SENDS ON FADER mode, allowing you to use the
faders to control the send levels to the MIX bus /
MATRIX bus.
In SENDS ON FADER mode, the faders and [ON]
keys of the channel module section will change their
operation as follows.
● Faders
The faders will adjust the send level of the signal sent
from each channel to the currently selected MATRIX
bus. When you switch from normal mode to SENDS
ON FADER mode, the fader positions will move to the
value of the send levels to the currently selected
MATRIX bus.
● [ON] keys
These keys will function as on/off switches for the sig-
nal sent from each channel to the currently selected
MATRIX bus. When you switch from normal mode to
SENDS ON FADER mode, the [ON] keys will light or
go dark according to the on/off status of the signals
being sent to the currently selected MATRIX bus.
● [SEL] keys
The [SEL] key of the selected channel will blink, and
the [SEL] keys of channels that are not selected will
light. However, the [SEL] keys of unassigned modules
will go dark.
5
Use the channel module faders to adjust
the send levels from the channels to the
MATRIX bus you selected in step 3.
As necessary, switch fader layers to access the layer
that contains the desired send-source channel.
6
To switch the on/off status of a signal sent
to the MATRIX bus, press the top panel [ON]
key.
If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo,
on/off operations will be linked for the signal sent to
the two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered
MATRIX buses.
7
Repeat steps 3–6 to adjust the send level
and switch the on/off status for other
MATRIX buses in the same way.
8
When you’ve finished setting the MATRIX
send levels, press the key that is currently
blinking in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT sec-
tion.
The LS9 will return to normal mode.
In SENDS ON FADER mode (when the send-destina-
tion is a MATRIX bus), the STEREO MASTER mod-
ule will operate differently depending on the selected
fader layer.
• While SENDS ON FADER mode is active with a MATRIX bus
as the send-destination, the faders/encoders and [ON] keys
of input channels will be disabled. If you want to operate an
input channel, you must first disable the above SENDS ON
FADER mode.

• You can assign the SENDS ON FADER function to a user-
defined key. This allows you quickly switch to SENDS ON
FADER mode for a specific MATRIX bus, or quickly return to
the previous state.
• You can also use the [HOME] key to cancel SENDS ON
FADER mode.
HINT
• If you switch the fader layer from 1-16 {1-32}, 17-32 {33-64},
or CUSTOM FADER to MASTER while in SENDS ON FADER
mode (when the send-destination is a MATRIX bus), SENDS
ON FADER mode will be cancelled.
• You cannot operate the fader or [ON] key of a channel that is
not a send-source (a channel that does not have a MATRIX
SEND parameter) or of a channel that is not a send-destina-
tion bus master.
