4.5 MultiModes
Each channel and Aux on the StudioLive 16.0.2 features a MultiMode
button. These buttons allow you to solo or mute a channel or Aux as
well as engage the channel FireWire returns from the same button!
The function of these buttons is determined by the control buttons
directly to the left of the row of the MultiMode buttons.

MultiMode Controls and the Buttons that Love Them

FireWire Return Turns FireWire Playback Streaming On/Off.
Mode Switch
When FireWire Return Mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel
function as the FireWire Input buttons for each channel. When a MultiMode button is
engaged while in this mode, it routes a playback stream from your audio software to
the StudioLive's channel inputs, where it is routed and processed the same way as
analog input signals. For example, if you want a particular recorded track to play back
on mixer channel 3, simply route that track in your audio software to StudioLive
Output 3. This button can also be used to insert a plug-in effect into the mix. For
more information on this feature, please review Section 6.4.2.
While in FireWire Return mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate orange to alert you that the FireWire return is engaged for that channel.
POWER USER TIP: When a FireWire return is engaged, the analog input is bypassed to
the mix bus. Because of this, do not engage a FireWire return when your StudioLive is not
connected and synced to a computer, as it will mute the analog input globally.
Solo Mode Switch Turns Soloing On and Off.
When Solo Mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel function as
the the Solo buttons for each channel and Aux. When a MultiMode button is
engaged while in this mode, it will solo its channel to the main outputs or to the
monitor outputs, depending on whether PFL, AFL, or SIP is selected in the Solo bus
section. Please review Section 8.8 for details.
While in Solo Mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate yellow to alert you that the channel is soloed.
When a channel or bus is soloed, it will automatically be
selected, and its Select button will illuminate.
POWER USER TIP: When Solo In Place is engaged, Solo mode will will display both the solos
and subsequent mutes across the MultiMode buttons; that is, if you solo Channel 1 while in
Solo In Place, Channel 1's MultiMode button will illuminate yellow; all other MultiMode buttons
will illuminate red. However, any MultiMode button you engage will solo that channel.

Mute Button Turns Mutes On and Off.
When Mute mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel function as
the the Mute buttons for each channel and Aux. When a MultiMode button is
engaged while in this mode, it will mute its channel to the Main and Aux outputs.
While in Solo mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate red to alert you that the channel is muted.

Main Output Bus

Main Select Button Enables Fat Channel Viewing.
As previously described in Section 4.1.1, the Select button routes its channel through
the Fat Channel, enabling you to add dynamics processing, EQ, panning, etc.
Main Fader Controls the Level of the Main Output.
The fader controls the overall level of the main stereo output.
The white area above the fader can be used as a scribble strip. Use only
oil pencils. Other types of pens or pencils cannot be wiped off.
To clean the scribble strip, use a lightly damp cloth to remove the writing. Spit works
pretty well, too.
