The Select Button

2.3. 1
All around the StudioLive, you will see Select
buttons. There is a Select button on each of
the 16 inputs, each of the 6 analog aux sends,
both of the internal effects buses, each of the
4 subgroups, the two auxiliary inputs, and last, but certainly not least, the main output bus. Each
of these buttons serves exactly the same purpose: to access the Fat Channel parameters for its
channel or bus.
In the lower right corner of the Fat Channel, you
will find an LED read out. The currently selected
channel will always be displayed here. (Numbers
1-16 indicate one of the 16 inputs channels is
selected, S1-S4 indicates Subgroups 1-4, MA
indicates the Main bus, A1-A6 indicates Aux 1-6, A7 and A8 indicate EFX A and EFX B, and F1 and
F2 indicate Aux inputs A and B.)
In addition, two meters—part of a set of seven
meters located in the top right section of the
mixer—are dedicated to displaying information
about the currently selected channel. The meter
on the far left of this section, displays the pre-
fader input level for the selected channel. The
meter to the right of it displays the gain reduction
for the selected channel. It is important to
mention that these meters are only active when
one of the 16 input channels or an aux bus is
selected.
It should be noted that while the Noise Gate, Compressor, EQ, and Limiter are available on every
input and bus, the phase reverse and hi-pass filter are only available on the 16 inputs. In addition,
other inputs and buses without Select buttons are available to route to the auxiliary FireWire returns
(see section 3.3.1 for more details).
