Mix Bus; Param - MOTU 828mkII User Manual

All Notes Off
The All Notes Off setting sends a MIDI All Notes Off
message, as well as a MIDI note-off message for
every note on every MIDI channel. This stops any
stuck notes that are currently playing. Push
SELECT to initiate the All Notes Off operation. The
MIDI OUT LED will glow to confirm that the note-
off data is being sent.
Factory Defaults
The Factory Defaults setting restores the 828mkII
factory settings. Before you can attempt this
operation, the 828mkII must first be disconnected
from the computer. If the interface is still
connected, the LCD will alert you with the message
"Must detach FW". Once you have done so, push
SELECT to initiate the operation, and then when
the LCD asks "Are you sure?", push VALUE to
execute it.

MIX BUS

The 828mkII on-board CueMix DSP mixer
provides four stereo mix busses, named MIX1,
MIX2, MIX3 and MIX4, respectively. Each mix bus
(also referred to as a "mix") independently mixes
all inputs (or any subset of your choosing) down to
one 828mkII output pair of your choosing. For
example, you could assign MIX1 to the main outs,
MIX2 to analog outputs 1-2 and MIX3 to the
headphone outs. You can then independently
assign any input to any mix. An input can even be
included in two or more mixes simultaneously at
different input levels.
Figure 7-4: In mixer mode, the LCD displays the mix settings for the
mix bus currently being displayed in the LCD.

When the LCD display is in mixer mode, push the
MIX BUS knob repeatedly to cycle through the
four mixes. The current mix is indicated in the
LCD above the MIX BUS label (as shown in
Figure 7-1 on page 53). Turn the MIX BUS knob to
change the output level for the mix.

PARAM

When the LCD display is in mixer mode, the
PARAM knob cycles through the mix parameters
listed below. Use the CURSOR knob to scroll to a
particular channel (until it flashes) and use the
VALUE knob to change its setting:

first created, pan is set to hard left
and hard right, but the channels can
then be further modified indepen-
dently. When a pair is unlinked, the
channels are set to pan-center.
