By clicking on the newly introduced Follow Solo button in the GC Ribbon
tab Tools, category General , the Follow Solo Mode gets activated. This is a
global setting which is valid for all titles and remains active until the Follow
Solo button is clicked again, even if the Vista application had been closed
and restarted in between.
Generally, the Follow Solo Mode is an alternative way of looking at channel
contributions to a master. The Vista consoles already allow several different
methods to look at channel contributions :
• Send Levels in the Global View.
• Contribution key shows Contribution View on the local Vistonics screen.
• Contribution key with active Spill Zone shows contributing channels
additionally in the Spill Zone.
The Follow Solo Mode is the fourth method to look at contribution levels to
a specific master channel. It is based on the rule of having master channels in
the ControlBay and input channels in the FaderBays. Follow Solo can only
be used on master channels (Mst, Grp, Aux). It is triggered by pressing either
the PFL- or the SOLO key on such a master channel. Indicated by the flashing
PFL resp. SOLO key, all channels in the FaderBays swap their contributing
levels to the Fader. In this situation, it is very convenient to listen to the PFL-
or SOLO signal of a master, while adjusting the mix with the Faders of the
input channels – independent of the type of the master channel (Mst, Grp,
Aux). While Follow Solo is active on a master, not only it's PFL resp. SOLO
key is flashing, but also the faders that now show the contribution levels are
now lit with the FaderGlow-color of the master channel type (Mst = red, Grp
= green, Aux = orange).
