Auxiliary Sends
Each module may send to each of the 4 auxiliary buses, the level to
each bus being controlled by controls AUX 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The sends to auxiliary buses 1 and 2 are taken before the fader
(PRE) but would be CUT if the module was turned OFF by the
On/Off switch.
The sends to buses 3 and 4 are taken after the fader and after the
On/Off switch (POST), so that if you pull the fader down, the level to
your effect will also go down. With PRE sends 1 and 2 the level to
your effect is controlled solely by AUX 1 and 2, and is not affected
by the fader.
Level Control and Routing
The overall level of the module is controlled by the long throw fader
and is routed via the Pan pot to EITHER groups 1 and 2, OR groups
3 and 4. To send to group 1 only, for instance, you would hard pan
left and leave the routing button up.
Groups 1 and 3 correspond to the left side of the pan pot, and
groups 2 and 4 correspond to the right side. If the pan pot is kept at
its centre detent, an equal amount of signal will be fed to both sides;
ie. if groups 1 and 2 are selected, an equal amount will be sent to
each.
The routing button routes to groups 1 and 2 when it is UP, and to 3
and 4 when it is DOWN.
PFL and ON
The ON button, when pressed DOWN, lights the green Led and
switches the module on. When the button is UP, the signal path is
CUT after the return from insert point, but before the fader. The PFL
function is unaffected.
The PFL button, when DOWN, soloes the signal from that module on
the monitor (headphone output), along with any other modules which
have their PFL button down. A red master solo Led will light
whenever a PFL is selected, and the PFL signal is taken after the
insert return, but BEFORE the ON switch.
Peak
A peak Led will light should the signal in the module exceed
+ 16dBm. This is at least 4dB BELOW clipping. The peak detector
reads the level BEFORE the insert send.
