Using gain swap

Operating the gain swap button, swaps
the function of the gain trim (digital trim)
section (top of input fast strips) to that of
the stage box section (GUI channel
strip). The effects of this action are only
shown on the GUI, as illustrated in the
diagram right.
Always check the GUI for 'swap' status.

Processing order

The processing order section
(control surface and GUI) has a
button that changes whether the
EQ or the dynamics comes first in
an input channel's signal path.
The current order of processing is
only shown on the GUI, just under
the processing order section.
Gate always precedes
compression, no matter what the
processing order is set to.

Direct output

The direct output section provides an internal connection to effects etc. or a way of
leaving the control centre via an I/O box. It lets you take a signal directly out of a
defined point in the input channel's signal path and route it to either an internal
assignable effect or a physical output (a physical connection at one of the line I/O
boxes). This function is optional and assigned on a channel-by-channel basis.
This section is deliberately distanced from the main channel panel controls because it is
a limited resource and unused on many channels.
Selection of signal path position (item 4) and destination (item 5) can only be carried
out via the GUI.

Function
Applies continuous trim adjustment (small digital
steps) of the input signal level in the range –40dB to
+20dB. Gives a further 40dB of fine adjustment
(DSP) on top of the remote amplifier gain setting.
Note that this control knob (control surface only) will
only adjust the gain currently selected to its GUI
input fast strip, that is, stage box or digital trim.
