Flex Bus - Roland V-Mixer VM-C7100 Quick Start Manual

Flex Bus

Each mixing processor provides 12 unique multi-purpose busses– these are
called "Flex Busses." A bus – be it a Flex Bus or traditional recording, mixing
or Aux bus – is a pathway down which multiple signals can be sent to a
common destination. The signals assigned to a Flex Bus can be sent out of
the system through various outputs, or can even be directed into another
Flex Bus within the system. This allows you to send signals through external
signal processors or internal effects, or to monitors for performers on the
stage or in the studio.
Example 1
You may wish to use reverb on some channels before sending them to the
Main out mix. Route them to a Flex Bus connected to the desired effect.
Example 2
You can record to individual tracks on an 8 track multi-track recorder by
assigning your input channels to any of eight Flex Busses, and using the
MULTI OUTs or ASSIGNABLE OUTs to send each Flex Bus to one of the
eight tracks on the recorder.
Example 3
Since you can adjust each channel's send level to a Flex Bus, you can create
up to eight separate, fully controllable stage monitor mixes using eight Flex
Busses routed to ASSIGNABLE OUTs 1-8.
Let's start by assigning Flex Busses to outputs.
Using Sub Outputs
You may couple a pair of
adjacent Flex Busses and
use them as stereo Flex
Busses (QUICK START:
p.36).
