Solo Menu & Solo Systems - SoundCraft Si Compact User Manual

SOLO MENU & SOLO SYSTEMS
Home screen displays all SOLO options
available on the system. Si Compact uses
intelligent automatic SOLOing to provide
the best source for any given task or SOLO
key operation; indicators above the monitor
volume encoder indicate the current state
of the SOLO system; the normal operation
is as follows:
•
•
•
Solo keys are normally 'latching', temporary activation of any SOLO key is available by 'press
& hold', this method of operation causes the held key to be automatically cancelled when
it is released.
SOLO IN PLACE: Enables Solo In Place for input channels, status is indicated on the MENU
bar and with the SIP indicator lights.
NOTE: Whilst SIP is active other SOLO menu items may not be adjusted.
SOLO HIGHLIGHT: When 2 or more input SOLOs are active it is possible to 'highlight' an
individual channel by pressing and holding one of the active input SOLO keys, this has the
effect of attenuating contribution of other solo'd channels to the solo and monitor system.
The 'Highlight Level' (level of attenuation) is changed using the SCROLL/ADJUST encoder.
BLEND LEVEL: Sets the attenuation level of the primary monitor source whist a PFL or AFL is
active; the default setting is -∞ (- infinity) resulting in complete mute of the normal monitor
source, this setting is changed using the SCROLL/ADJUST encoder to allow background
monitoring of the primary monitor source whist PFL or AFL is active.
INPUT PRIORITY: When On (default) allows input solos to temporarily override an output AFL
allowing monitor and control of contributions to a mix, if all active SOLOs are cleared the
system reverts to monitoring the active output AFL solos. When set to Off any input SOLO will
cancel any output SOLOs and vice versa. Status is changed with the SCROLL/ADJUST encoder.
SOLO TRIM: Offers +/-10dB of trim to the level of the SOLO bus to the monitor system
independent of the main monitor level control, this setting is changed using the SCROLL/
ADJUST encoder.
