Cue, Fx And Efx Sends - Solid State Logic AWS DELTA 916 Owner's Manual

C , FX EFX S
UE AND
The area below the EQ controls the channel's send to the console's two stereo cue busses and four FX
busses. Each channel can feed one of stereo cue busses and two of the FX busses (FX1 or 3, FX2 or 4).
Alternatively, the send controls for one of the busses can be assigned to the EFX system, which enables
greater routing flexibility from the AWS elta channels by employing redundant auxiliary sends to control
the level of the channel's feed to the track busses or direct output.
To activate the Cue or FX sends, press on its gain pot (the ON LED to the pot's right will light) and
turn up the gain. The Stereo Cue signal is normally sourced pre-fader – to move it to after the fader,
press POST.

The stereo cue's blue pan pot can be used to pan the
channel send to the stereo cue bus.
By default, CUE A, FX1 and FX2 are active. To switch
from CUE A to CUE B, FX1 to FX3 or FX2 to FX4, press
the CUE B, FX3 and FX4 switches beside the relevant
gain pot.
To use any bus send control to feed the
EFX system, press the EFX button
beside the relevant gain pot. That gain pot
will now allow you to adjust the level
being sent to any active track busses or, if
the EFXC Function key is active, the
channel direct output.
The EFX LED will light to indicate that
EFX is active, and the DIRECT
PRE/EFX LED lights green to indicate
that the channel output has been assigned to the EFX.
EFX is only available if the selected channel has a send
assigned to the EFX system.
When the SET Function key (next to the ALL Function key) is selected, pressing any in-channel non-latching switches
(such as an FX activation switch) will cause that switch to activate in all selected channels
Only one auxiliary send control from each channel may feed the EFX system.

The stereo cue's blue pan pot can be used to pan mono
channel sends to the stereo cue bus. In stereo mode, it
becomes a balance control. FX busses receive a mono
sum of the signal from a stereo channel.
If the CUE LED is unlit, the stereo cue is following the
main pan or the stereo cue pan pot is functioning as a pan
control for the secondary channel path. The REC/MIX
LED indicates the secondary path's routing to the REC
and MIX busses, as described on Page 3-11. To return the
pot to controlling the stereo cue pan, deselect CUE F-
CH in the Channel Setup screen (as described on Page 3-
4) or deassign the secondary path from both MIX and
TRACK buses, if PAN is selected.
The ALT/EFX SEL switch below the FX controls
allows you to cycle the Stereo Cue and FX sends between
the main and alternative sends, and the EFX system:
By default, CUE A, FX1 and FX2 are active. To switch to
the alternative sends (CUE B, FX3 or FX4 respectively)
press and hold ALT/EFX SEL and press the relevant
gain pot. The CUE B, FX3 and FX4 LEDs will light to
indicate when they are active.
With ALT/EFX SEL still held, a second press on the
pot will activate the EFX system. That gain pot will now
allow you to adjust the level being sent to any active track
busses or, if EFX CHOP is selected in the Channel
Setup screen, the channel direct output.
The EFX LED will light to indicate that EFX is active. The
CHOP PRE/EFX LED in the channel strip lights green
to indicate that the EFX signal is feeding the channel
output.
