32. Solo Button
The Solo button is pushed to allow the
signal of the corresponding channel to
be sent to the Control Room / Phones
mixing bus (pre or post fader, depending
on the properties selected by the pre /
post button, located by the Control Room
/ Phones source buttons), for use with
either headphones or studio monitors.
This button also allows for easier
isolation of individual channel signals,
ensuring setting of the input gain or
tracking of audio by sound engineers is
made simpler. The Peak indicator above
the Solo button also doubles as a Solo
Indicator, illuminating whenever the Solo
function is activated.
33. Channel Level Control (Fader)
This control will alter the signal level that
is sent from the corresponding channel
to the corresponding mixing buses.

34. Digital Effect Display
This 2-digital numeric display shows the program number that
is currently applied to your EFX audio signal. When you rotate
the Program control, you can scroll through different program
numbers; however the display will revert back to the original
program if a new program is not selected within a few seconds.
For a list of available effects, please observe the Digital Effect
Table.
35. Sig and Clip Indicators
Located within the Digital Effect Display are Clip and Sig LEDs.
The Sig LED will light up when any signal is received by the
effect processor, and the Clip LED will light up shortly before
excessive signals are dynamically clipped. If the Clip LED lights
up too often, it may be advisable to turn down the AUX 3/EFX
control on one or all input channels to ensure the signal level is
not excessive.
36. Program Control
This control is used to scroll through the various effects. Turning
the control clockwise will allow users to ascend into higher
program numbers, and turning it counter-clockwise will allow
users to descend into lower program numbers. Pushing this
control will apply the new effect. When a tap-delay effect is
selected, pressing this control will allow users to select the tap-
delay time.
By pushing the button several times, the effect processor
interprets the time between last two pushes and remembers this
as the delay time – until the button is pushed again. This is kept
even after the power is turned off. When the tap delay effect is
selected, a small LED will flash within the digital effect display
window at the selected intervals.
37. Effect On Button
This button is pushed to turn the corresponding effect panel on
or off. When effects are bypassed, there will be 2 flashing LEDs
in the effect display.
