Settings Mode & Factory Reset

Settings

There are a number of configurable settings available for The Bus+. To
access these, hold down the MODE key whilst The Bus+ is powering
on. Read through the information on the following pages to understand
which switches affect which particular setting.
When you are finished adjusting settings, press and hold MODE again
and the unit will power cycle back into the normal operating mode.

Brightness

8 levels of brightness are available for the switch lights. Use the LOW
THD and FB switches on the left-hand side of the unit to decrease/
increase the brightness. Factory setting: Level 5 of 8.

Relay Feedback

You can enable/disable the relay feedback (audible click when a
switch is pressed) of the switches. This affects the startup sequence
and normal operation. To switch between enabled and disabled,
press the 4K MODE switch on the left-hand side of the unit.
If 4K MODE is lit GREEN, relay feedback is enabled (default).
If 4K MODE is dimly lit white, relay feedback is disabled.

Mix Control Mode - Classic or Parallel

The MIX control can work in two different ways. Classic mode
cross-fades between dry and wet signals, whilst Parallel mode
keeps the dry signal at 100% and brings up the wet 'fader' as the
control is rotated towards the fully-clockwise WET position. The
Parallel mode allows for NY style parallel compression very easily.
To switch between Classic and Parallel modes, push the
MAKE-UP control on the left-hand side of the unit.
FINE LED indicator GREEN
FINE LED indicator ORANGE
When the Parallel setting is active, the MODE indicator LEDs
(Classic Stereo / � S/C Stereo / Dual Mono / Mid Side) illuminate
orange instead of green in normal operation, to give a useful
representation of this option being enabled. Also, with the Parallel
Mix option selected, turning MIX control fully CW will enable Audition mode (dry 0%, wet 100%). In this position, the currently
active MODE LED indicator will blink. Audition mode is useful as it allows you to tweak compressor parameters while listening to
the wet signal in isolation.
