Mode selection for the aux blocks works the same as for the fader blocks.
Each aux block can source from any of the 6 signals M1, M2, L1 to L4. The
block assigns these to the 8 buses. The Mono Independent mode is usually
used in this block because it is the standard way to set up two controls
feeding sources independently to two buses, as in a conventional console with
mono sends. Hitting [F4] in the SmartDisplay will allow each mode to be
switched between pre-fader, post upper fader (PUF) and post lower fader (PLF).
These modes are the same in operation and effect as the fader pan/bal modes
but are not selected from a scrolling list as fader modes are. (See the Tutorial
section for detailed information on selecting aux send modes.)
• Mono at 0dB
Monos all sources selected, sets both sends at 0dB gain.
• Mono Independent
Monos all sources selected. The lower knob controls the mono feed to
the left buses and the upper knob controls the feed to the right buses.
• Mono Pan Center
Monos all sources selected. As Mono Pan but with the pan locked in the
central position.
• Mono Pan
Monos all sources selected. Upper knob pans between odd and even
buses, lower knob controls the level.
• Mono
Monos all sources selected. Upper control is out of circuit. Gain will be
3dB higher as the pan law is no longer reducing center image by 3dB.
• Stereo Balance
Odd Sources (M1, L1, L3) feed the left bus, even sources (M2, L2, L4) feed
the right bus. Balance control is active. Lower knob acts as gain control.
• Stereo Center
As Stereo Balance with balance control locked in the center.
• Stereo Independent
Lower knob controls level of the odd sources to the left bus and the upper
knob controls the level of odd sources to the right bus.
• Stereo Reverse
As Stereo Balance but even/odd sources feed the left/right buses
respectively.
• Stereo Center Reverse
As Stereo Reverse with the balance control locked in the center position.
• Stereo Ind Reverse
Odd sources feed the right bus via upper knob, even sources feed the left
bus via the lower knob.
