Configuring The Output Channels - SoundCraft Si Series User Manual

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUT CHANNELS

The output bus channels 1-20 can be individually configured as Auxes or as Groups (busses 21-24 are
always Aux busses in software V1.0), and may be configured as mono busses or as stereo pairs. If they are
configured as stereo pairs the pairs are always consecutive busses, and the left channel is always an odd-
numbered channel, and its right twin is the next bus up.
The attributes of the Aux busses are:
The sends from the input channels to the auxes have ON/OFF switches and a level control (Stereo pair
auxes have a level control and a pan control). The aux bus outputs can be routed to the LR & C busses,
the send may be selected pre or post EQ. The FaderGlow™ colour for Auxes is yellow.
The attributes of the Group busses are:
The sends from the input channels to the groups have On/OFF switches but no level control. Stereo groups
use the channel's pan control to route the channel's signal to the Group pair. The group bus outputs can
be routed to the LR & C busses. The FaderGlow™ colour for Groups is green.
Configuration is done via the touch screen. Proceed as follows:
1. If the main menu screen isn't already on, press MENU, then the OUTPUTS & VCA pad on the
screen.
2. Using a combination of the 1-12 or the 13-24 button, and the appropriate SEL button on the output
bay, the required bus' parameters will be displayed on the touch-screen.
3. Rotate the ADJUST encoder until the required parameter is highlighted, then press the encoder to
select the parameter. The parameters available are: bus type (Aux or Group), bus name, bus width
(Mono or Stereo) and PRE FADER SOURCE (Pre or Post EQ). See chapter 6 for further information.
4. Rotate the encoder to change the selected parameter. Press the encoder to register the change.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 to change another parameter.
6. Repeat step 2 to select another bus.
7: Press MENU to exit the configuration process.
Note: it is possible to set up a combination of aux and group outputs, each with a mixture of mono singles
and stereo pairs.
