Click on the box to display the available bus types. Currently, the follow-
ing bus types are available:
• Mono Master bus
• Mono Group bus
• Mono Reverb bus
• Mono Multitrack bus
• Mono AUX bus
• Stereo AUX bus
• Mono SOLO bus
• Stereo PFL bus
• Mono N–1 bus
• Stereo N–1 bus
Any number can be entered here to define the quantity for this particular
bus type. The maximum numbers are in function of the overall installed
DSP capacity (check the Core page to see how requirements change) and,
for some bus types, the maximum number is limited by the capacity of the
D950 Desk to operate them. This does not apply for Vista.
Here the D950 Desk limitations:
Aux Mono max. 48
Aux Stereo max. 48
N–1 Mono max. 48
N–1 Stereo max. 48
max. 8
max. 8
max. 48, stereo counts as 2 (e.g. 32 mono + 8 stereo groups)
There are three types of stereo buses
• Aux Stereo bus
• PFL Stereo bus
• N–1 Stereo bus
These bus types have to be entered bearing in mind that their number is
counted as stereo. All other bus types are mono, regardless how they are
used. For example, having eight mono master channels and eight stereo
master channels will need a total of 24 mono master buses.
The required numbers are automatically entered into the Edit Bus dialog
based on the number of corresponding channels. In the example above, the
Edit Bus box will suggest 24 buses automatically.
For buses which do not correspond to channels (Multitrack, SOLO, PFL
and N–1 buses), the suggested number will be initially zero and must be
set by hand.
F Tips When having mono and stereo channels of the same type (applies for
master and group channels only), you have to make a gang of buses for
each type. The first gang will be connected to the stereo channels and the
second gang to the mono channels.
When adding a new mono or stereo channel format (applies for master and
group channels only) to an existing configuration, first delete the corre-
sponding buses (group or master) before adding the new buses, in order to
guarantee the correct bus sequence.
