• Assigns all applicable channel V-Pots to act as
pan controls (channels 1–72 and 81–88).
• Stays lit continuously until an Aux Select,
Level to Tape, or Digital Trim button is engaged.
• Solos the currently selected Aux.
• Only one Aux can be soloed at a time.
• Master solo can be active at the same time a
channel is soloed.
• Aux bus remains soloed until it is manually
disengaged or until the CLEAR SOLO button
is pressed.
• Solo level is post the MASTER V-Pot.
• Master Solo is not affected by the PFL or AFL
Solo status selected in the Studio/Solo section.
These buttons:
• Assign the channel V-Pots to control individual
aux send levels.
• Assign the channel V-Pots to control individual
channel trim or tracking output levels.
This description highlights the default
configuration for aux sends and effects returns.
Keep in mind that the new D8B plug-in architecture
provides maximum flexibility and awesome creative
capabilities with respect to plug-ins, aux sends,
and returns.
• Pressing any Aux 1–8 assigns channel V-Pots
to control individual send levels to AUX 1–8
output.
• Each Aux 1–8 is simultaneously routed to the
corresponding 1/4" jack on the rear of the
console and to an internal effects processor.
• Patching from the Aux 1–8 jacks does not
interrupt the signal flow to the internal pro-
cessors.
• Each Aux 1–8 acts as a mono send to a stereo
internal effects processor (MFX card only).
UFX cards offer complete flexibility.
• Auxes patched to the IVL Vocal Studio effects
return to four channels, either in stereo pairs
(second pair is the reverb return) or as four
separate channels.
• Configured differently than Auxes 1–8.
• Each channel has a stereo pair of controls:
one level and one pan. This is ideal for
phones/cue mixes or for an additional record-
ing feed in a live setting.
• Pressing Aux 9–10 assigns the channel V-Pot
to control the send level for the stereo pair.
• Pressing Pan under Aux 9–10 assigns the
channel V-Pot to adjust pan positioning between
the stereo pair.
• Aux 9–10 are not routed to the internal effects
processor by default, but may be assigned as
such in the plug-in configuration window.
• Aux 11–12 operates identically to Aux 9–10.
• Level to Tape assigns the channel V-Pots as
tape output level controls via the I/O cards.
• This control is post channel DSP and pre-
fader. Fader adjustments don't affect tape
output levels.
• Facilitates optimizing the gain structure from
the beginning to the end of the signal path,
when used correctly.
• When Faders to Tape is active, the level to
tape is derived from the source channel faders
instead of the channel V-Pots—the level is
post-fader.
