Chapter 3 - Analogue Signal Flow

Auxiliary Sends

Matrix has six aux sends: one stereo cue and four mono effects (FX) sends.
Stereo Cue Send
The send to the stereo cue bus has a gain trim and pan pot, both of which have Total
Recall LEDs. Pressing the gain pot switches the send on and off. The
pot will light to indicate that it is on. The pan pot is indented in the middle, where the
signal is feeding both the left and right busses equally.
The stereo cue bus can be fed from four places: line-in pre-input-selection, pre-fader (post-insert), post-fader
or via SuperCue. The first three of these are selected by the
Channel, with pre-fader being the default setting.
The source is indicated by the LEDs between the pan and gain pots, and by the colour of the

SuperCue
When CUE is selected as the source in the

conjunction with the transport controls, summing the channel send and the DAW return when in Play, and automatically muting
the DAW return when in Record for a drop-in. The

Note that for the SuperCue function to switch between corresponding DAW sends and returns, each DAW track output must
be sending to the Matrix channel which is feeding its input.

32-Track Mixdown
When Matrix is being used for mixdown, and the channel is therefore being fed from the DAW return the
main channel input ('LINE IN') can be used to create an extra input channel, allowing for 32-track
mixdowns on one Matrix. This is done by selecting
above, and then pressing
CUE
then be fed from the
than DAW return signal, as described below.
Note that when using the
