Aux Bus And Variable Group Bus Signal Flow Options - DigiDesign D-show Manual

Aux Bus and Variable Group Bus Signal
Flow Options
Input channel signals are routed to Aux busses or Variable
Group busses (available only in Variable Groups mode) in a
similar manner.
Routing Signals to Mono Aux and Variable
Group Busses
To route a channel to an unlinked (mono) Aux bus or Variable
Group bus from the Input section:
Do one of the following:
1
• Display Aux Sends on the input channels.
• Display Variable Group Sends on the input channels.
In either Input Encoder Assignment section, press an Aux
2
switch to assign control of the designated bus to the corre-
sponding row of rotary encoders.
• The first press of an Aux switch assigns level control of
the odd-numbered send. The switch lights green to indi-
cate an odd-numbered selection.
• The second press of an Aux switch assigns level control of
the even-numbered send. The switch lights yellow to in-
dicate an even-numbered selection.
On each of the channels you want to send to the designated
3
Aux bus or Variable Group bus, press the rotary encoder knob
so that its "On" indicator LED lights.
Turn the rotary encoder knob on each channel to set the
4
Aux Send or Variable Group Send level.
When Aux busses or Variable Group busses are not linked,
they are fed as true mono busses. In this configuration, input
signals are handled as follows:
Mono Input Signals Contributing mono signals are sent to the
mono Aux or Variable Group bus. Any pan information from
mono input channels feeding the bus is ignored.
Stereo Input Signals Contributing stereo signals are summed
to the mono Aux or Variable Group bus. The balance and
width information from each stereo input channel is ignored.

Routing Signals to Linked Aux and Variable
Group Bus Pairs
To route a channel to a linked (stereo) Aux bus pair or Variable
Group bus pair from the Input section:
Do one of the following:
1
• Display Aux Sends on the input channels.
• Display Variable Group Sends on the input channels.
In either Input Encoder Assignment section, press an Aux
2
switch to assign control of the designated bus to the corre-
sponding row of rotary encoders.
• The first press of an Aux switch assigns level control of
the linked sends. The switch lights green to indicate the
bus pair is selected.
• The second press of an Aux switch assigns pan control of
the linked sends. The switch lights yellow to indicate pan
control.
On each of the channels you want to send to the designated
3
bus pair, press the rotary encoder knob so that its "On" indi-
cator LED lights.
Turn the rotary encoder knob on each channel to set the
4
send level or pan.
When Aux busses are linked, input signals are handled as fol-
lows:
Mono Input Signals Contributing mono signals are panned
across the linked odd/even Aux or Variable Group bus pair.
• When the Follows Channels Pan option is off, panning
of the mono signal to the bus pair is controlled by the
Aux Pan control.
• When the Follows Channels Pan option is on, the pan in-
formation from each mono input channel determines its
pan position in the bus pair.
Stereo Input Signals Contributing stereo signals are panned
across the linked odd/even Aux or Variable Group bus pair.
Stereo width information from the input channel is applied to
the bus signal.
• When the Follows Channels Pan option is off, balance of
the stereo signal to the bus pair is controlled by the Aux
Pan control.
• When the Follows Channels Pan option is on, the bal-
ance from each stereo input channel determines its con-
tribution to the odd and even sides of the bus pair.
