Dim Chan Meters And Dim Bus Meters; Dim Mon Meters And Dim Mix Meters; Oscillator; 400 Hz On And Ext In - Solid State Logic ORIGIN User Manual

Origin Master Section

DIM CHAN METERS and DIM BUS METERS

ORIGIN has high brightness LED meters. It may be useful to reduce the
brightness of the meters when lighting conditions, or what the user focuses on,
needs to change. The DIM CHAN METERS switch switches between bright and
dim CHAN meters (above the channel paths), When this switch is pressed with
the MISC section SHIFT switch, the BUSES/STEREO GROUP meters change
brightness.

DIM MON METERS and DIM MIX METERS

Similar to the previous item, the DIM MON METERS switch switches between bright and dim MON meters (above the console
channels), When this switch is pressed with the MISC section SHIFT switch, the MIX meter changes brightness.

OSCILLATOR

ORIGIN has a simple, yet flexible OSCILLATOR section. It is designed to take advantage of the power of modern hand held
devices and the software applications available for them.

400 Hz ON and EXT IN

The in-built sine wave oscillator is fixed to 400Hz. This frequency was
chosen over the more typical 1kHz as it's easier on the ear when listened
to for prolonged periods, such as when doing alignment or signal level
checks. The 400Hz ON switch enables the Oscillator and sends this signal
to the rear F/B, MISC OUT DB-25 connector on the rear of the console, and
typically from there to the patchbay. The internal Oscillator may be over-
ridden by selecting the IN switch for any source connected to the 3.5 mm
Jack EXT IN socket immediately above it. This is designed to allow an
external signal source to be connected such as a tablet or mobile phone,
typically running an application to generate test signals or sweeps.

OSC LEVEL

The OSC LEVEL control adjusts the level of the Oscillator, both the internal Oscillator and the external input.

TO MIX and TO BUSES

These switches send the Oscillator (or EXT IN) signal to the 16 track buses (TO BUSES) or the stereo Mix bus (TO MIX). Either of
these selections over-ride the default signals being fed to the respective outputs, so take care not to press them when recording
from these outputs..

The MISC Section

ORIGIN's MISC section is the home for a variety of functions.

SHIFT/ CLEAR ROUTE

The bottom switch in the MISC switch section has two basic functions which depend on the context of it being pressed.
SHIFT
The SHIFT switch provides secondary or setup functions to some of the switches in the Master Section.
