Matrix outputs

Each return can make a contribution of its signal to any of the 16 matrix channels. To
do this it uses ON and PRE switches, and level controls for each matrix send.
The control centre can only address two of the 16 matrix sends at any one time. There
are a pair of up and down buttons marked scroll pair that change which two matrix
sends the controls are addressing. Scrolling is stepped in twos.
The GUI displays eight of the 16 matrix sends at a time and also identifies which two
are being addressed by the control centre.

change the selection in the channel output
strip to the previous or next pair,
respectively. This will also select the first
pair in the next page of eight. For
example, if returns 7 and 8 are selected,
pressing the down button brings the next
page in the sequence (returns 9 to 16) to
the detail area and selects the top pair,
that is, returns 9 and 10. The same is true
if you scroll pair down off the last pair of
returns (31 and 32); in this case the first
matrix page is assigned.

send relative mix contribution levels to
multiple main mix bus destinations,
sourced from the selected sub mix. They
operate as level-and-level for mono buses
and pan-and-level for stereo buses.
