Talk Osc/Routing - Midas PRO6 Owner's Manual

Talk osc/routing

Talk osc/routing
The talk / osc routing, or 'internal talk groups' section, sends signal generator and
talk mic signals to buses within the control centre. It contains eight talk group switches
used for selecting the destination of the talk and OSC internal signals. Four of the talk
group switches are user-configurable. The GUI has an additional four configuration
switches for programming.
For information on programming, see "Programming the groups" on page 164.
1
1
ALL switch, routes the talk/OSC internal
signal to all outputs.
2
INPUT/[INP] (input) switch, routes the
talk/OSC internal signal to the input section.
3
AUX switch, routes the talk/OSC internal
signal to all auxes.
4
MTX (matrix) talk switch, also routes the
oscillator or talk signal to the master outputs.
Internal talk groups
You can assign talkback or send test signals to any audio bus on the PRO6. Preset and
user-configurable 'talk' groups allow you to, for example, talk to groups of performers
in a monitor mix or make group announcements. Also, by using the internal tone
oscillator, you can perform signal path testing and equipment alignment.
There are eight 'talk' groups available (four of each type), which are operated via
pushbutton in the talk/osc routing section of the master bay. Using the preset talk
groups you can route to all inputs, all auxes, all matrices or all outputs. Or, you can
create your own talk groups (up to four) and choose which of these you want in each
group; this is done via the GUI menu (see "Talk groups" on page 162).
Before you can select a talk group, the TALK/internal and/or OSC/internal buttons
must be switched on. (This also applies to generator routing.) Also, if any internal talk
or osc generator routing is active when the TALK/internal and/or OSC/internal
buttons are both switched off, this routing is cancelled.
