Input Channels - SoundCraft Si Performer 1 User Manual

CHANNELS & BUSSES > INPUT CHANNELS
Input channels receive either external input from instruments, microphones, and so on, or they receive
input from the internal Lexicon FX units - in which case they are an FX return.
Input channels can be mono (64 available: CH 01 - CH 64), stereo (8 available: ST 1 - ST 8), or mono-linked
(assigned in odd/even pairs of mono Input Channels), and can be patched to any microphone, line, or digital input.
Mono inputs do not have a FaderGlow colour. Mono-linked channels use FaderGlow white, stereo input channels
(external line source) use FaderGlow pink, and stereo FX returns from the internal FX units use FaderGlow cyan and
are patched to ST 5 - 8 by default.
Input channels can contribute to any or all of the MIX 1-14 Mix busses (which feed the Mix Bus Master channels), the
Main L&R and Mono/Centre mix busses, or to the FX send busses - which get routed to the internal Lexicon FX.
The levels of these contributions are accessed via the tOTEM (FADER FOLLOW) buttons.
Please note, Input Channels can not contribute to the Matrix (MTX) busses, so the MTX FADER FOLLOW buttons are
not applicable for Control Channels assigned to Input Channels.
There are various input-specific options, found via the Touch Screen Main Menu INPUTS button. These offer
channel naming, linking, Pre/Post routing options for Mix busses and direct outputs, and physical input and Direct
Output patching. See section 6.1.1.
NOTE: For LCR Panning, LCR Panning Mode must be set in the INPUTS & VCA Menu. The Mono output patch is the
Centre output patch, and Mono routing must be enabled in the ACS (Assignable Channel Strip) OUTPUT section with
the MONO button (can be done in Interrogate mode for speed).
