A name can be given to the auxiliary master channel, which is automatically
propagated backwards to all displays of the input channel. Renaming the
auxiliary master user label is done within the channel patch window. Double-
click on the Usr (label) area and enter a name, e.g. the name of the device
attached to the output of this auxiliary master channel. The given name will
then automatically show up on the input channels rather than the auxiliary
number.
Note Aux bus naming is also possible in the strip setup window.
This type of bus/output is used very often for live applications, particularly
in PA operation. A matrix bus is a kind of an auxiliary bus typically fed only
by master channels (subgroups, masters, aux masters), but not from input
channels. The Configuration Editor 3.4 application (and newer) offers the
possibility to talk from master channels to auxiliary buses. It is therefore pos-
sible to have a 'super auxiliary' bus that can be fed from any channel within
the console. However, very often this may be confusing. The Configuration
Editor software easily allows the software to know whether you intend to use
a certain auxiliary bus as a typical aux bus (no actions necessary) or whether
you want to use it as a matrix bus with typical feed possibilities (right-click
on the Aux Bus field in the CHANNEL/BUS view, as shown below). The
latter will remove the possibility to talk to this bus from input channels, but
instead will add feeds from all master channels. This is identical to a matrix
bus, and the corresponding master channels can be used as matrix outputs.
They may even be equipped with signal processing, such as EQ, dynamics,
or delay, in order to satisfy the specific needs of each customer.
