Auxes/Variable Groups Follow AFL
The "Auxes/Variable Groups Follow AFL" option is especially
useful for monitor mixing, because it provides instant access
to any mix by the soloing the mix output (in AFL mode).
When this option is selected, soloing an Aux output bus or
Variable Group output bus (by pressing its AFL switch) causes
the Send level and pan controls for that bus to be displayed on
the Input Channel Encoder rows.
Soloing a Variable Group bus automatically toggles display
of Variable Groups on the Input Encoders.
With mono Aux or Variable Group busses, Send level is dis-
played on the top row of Input Encoders.
With stereo (linked) Aux or Variable Group busses, Send
level is displayed on the top row, and Send pan is displayed on
the bottom row of encoders.
If an Input Encoder row is flipped to the faders, flipped
status is maintained when an Aux or Variable Group
bus is soloed.
To set Auxes and Variable Groups to display send controls when
soloed:
Go to the Options page and click the Busses tab.
