Midas HERITAGE 1000 Operator's Manual page 14

The PAN defaults to control the
channel placement within the master
stereo mix and has a constant power
law. i.e. - 3dB at the centre position.
The PAN to groups switch changes all
group bus assignments to operate via
the stereo pan pot.
The recessed AUTOMATION
DISABLE switch sets the module to a
default routing state with all aux sends
ON and all audio group and VCA
group assignments OFF. The switch is
not intended for normal console
operation and it should only be used in
the event of local automation failure.
The SAFE switch removes the entire
input channel from automute and
snapshot automation control.
Assignment of audio and VCA buses
will continue to operate in the normal
way as will VCA master control. This
is particularly useful if a guest artist is
introduced on a channel that would
normally be used for another function.
The SET switch is used to programme
the channel AUX, VCA, MUTE and
AUDIO assignment. The central
controller MODE switches and
ASSIGN keys select the desired
assignment function and the SET
switch toggles the channel on and off
with each alternate press.

The ST switch connects the post fader
channel signal to the master stereo bus
The MONO switch connects the post
fader channel signal to the mono
master bus.
The SIS switch enables the spatial
imaging system which operates in
conjunction with the pan control to
produce a left, centre, right mix. It also
acts as a left, centre, right master bus
enable overriding any stereo and mono
master bus assignments.
The MUTE switch mutes the input
channel at all points after the insert
send. The switch can be controlled
from snapshot automation and by
automute scenes.
The METER monitors the peak signal
level of the pre fader input channel.
The FADER gives continuous
adjustment of the input channel level
from + 10dB to off.
The ASSIGN LEDs are used to show
the status of the AUX, VCA, MUTE
and AUDIO group assignments. The
central controller MODE switches
toggle through the four available
states.
The SOLO switch sends the input
channel signal to the PFL mono and
AFL stereo busses. If the switch is
pressed for a short time it will latch on
or off, but, if it is held on for more
than 1 second the latching is disabled
and when the switch is released the
channel solo will turn off. As a default
the solo system is auto cancelling so
each new solo cancels the last. The
SOLO ADD mode switch on the
master module defeats the auto
cancelling and allows multiple channel
monitoring. In this mode input solos
have priority over outputs and will
temporarily override any active output
solos. If the master module SOLO SIS
is enabled the solo buses will switch to
LCR operation.
