Vi3000 USER MANUAL
SOLO SYSTEM BEHAVIOUR
11.1: SOLO System Primary Behaviour
AFL, PFL, and SIP
The solo system on Soundcraft Vi 3000 comprises a non-destructive PFL and AFL Solo capability from inputs and out-
puts, and also the option of a destructive Solo-In-Place mode, for use only during soundchecks or rehearsals. Solo-In-
Place mode has to be enabled from within the Monitor Setup and changes the mode of operation of the Solo System.
If Solo-In-Place (SIP) Mode is OFF
* Soloing a single input locally generates a PFL Solo onto the Solo Bus
* Soloing an input (or group of inputs) by soloing a VCA Master that the input is assigned to, generates an AFL Solo
onto the Solo Bus (even if the Input Solo Mode is set to PFL in the Monitor Setup page).
* If the Input Solo Mode is set to Auto (in the Monitor Setup page) soloing more than one input locally (by pressing and
holding the first [Solo/Sel] button then pressing others) will generate an AFL Solo onto the Solo Bus from all soloed
inputs.
* The PFL feed from Mono Inputs is independent of channel Pan, and is fed to the stereo Solo Bus as centre-panned
image. If the input is a stereo input, the PFL feed is left channel to left Solo Bus, right to right.
* The AFL feed from Mono Inputs is stereo and follows the channel Pan. If the input is a stereo input the AFL feed is
stereo and follows the channel Balance control.
* Soloing an output (either locally or via a VCA Master Solo) generates an AFL Solo. The postfade output signal is
switched onto the Solo Bus. If the output is a Mono Aux, Group, or Matrix, the signal is fed to both left and right Solo
Bus equally (ie centre-panned image). If the output is linked as a stereo pair, the signal from left and right outputs are
fed to left and right Solo bus respectively. There is no manually controlled Pan on Output Solos.
* In all cases when SIP Mode is OFF, operation of any Solo will switch the audio onto the Solo Bus and the Monitor
section will be automatically switched so that the Solo audio replaces the previous monitor source selection (if any)
assuming that IN Solo and/or OUT Solo have been selected as a Monitor Source in the Monitor Setup Page.
If Solo-In-Place (SIP) mode is ON
* Soloing an input generates a 'destructive' SIP Solo, muting all other inputs that are not Soloed or set to Mute Safe.
Other channels which are subsequently soloed will be unmuted.
* Soloing an input (or group of Inputs) by soloing a VCA Master that the input is assigned to, generates a SIP Solo on
all Inputs in the VCA Group.
* The Input signal is not switched onto the Solo Bus, and the Monitor section does not switch the Solo Bus audio to
override the monitor source selection.
* Soloing an Output generates a normal Output AFL Solo, the same as if SIP Mode was OFF. The Output signal is
switched onto the Solo Bus and the Monitor section switches so that the Output Solo audio is heard on the Monitors,
replacing the previous monitor source, if any.
