11. LIBRARY RECALL PREV — pressing the pedal in this mode will cause the currently selected

library to select the previously numbered entry (simulates pressing the button of the same name on

the front panel).

NOTE: In version 1.5, the polarity of a connected footswitch is auto-detected at startup.

19. New Talkback mic options

Analog input 16 can now be designated as the input source for the Talkback Mic. Once selected, the

onboard microphone is disabled, and Talkback operation uses input 16 as a signal source.

To select analog input 16 as the Talkback source, go to the LCD Preferences screen, MIXER page.

At the bottom of the page, you can choose between the internal microphone, and analog input 16.

NOTE: Make sure to check out the new footswitch mode for Talkback operation!

Along with the additions in Talkback functionality, improvements were also made to the Slate function.

The ability to choose where the Slate signal is sent was added in version 1.5.

Possible choices now include Option Slots 1, 2, or 3, the ADAT outs, or SPDIF outs 1 and 2.

Check this out by navigating to the LCD Preferences page, MIXER tab.

There is now an option for Slate Setup. If you change the default (which is set to HDR, meaning that

enabling Slate will route the Talkback signal to the HDR inputs), you will see the aforementioned

selections of Dig Out 1, Dig Out 2, Option Slot 1, Option Slot 2, Option Slot 3, and the ADAT outs.

You will also notice a control Labeled Toggle on the menu that appears on the lower right side of the

LCD screen.

By selecting Toggle the Slate routing will toggle back and forth between the active selection and the

selected choice in the pulldown menu. Our example shows the SX-1 toggling between the HDR inputs

and Dig Out 2 (D2).

It is now possible to unlock the operation of the stereo meter on the slanted front panel from the

operation of the Control Room monitor section. This feature was requested because it was formerly not

possible to continue metering the L/R level while listening to other sources (Aux s 2 Trk In s, etc)

chosen by the Control Room. In some broadcast situations continuos metering of the Mix buss is

necessary.
