Autocancel Behaviour - SoundCraft Vi1 User Manual

Autocancel Behaviour

In the majority of cases in live sound mixing, only one channel is soloed at any time, so it has become
common practice for solos to 'autocancel' so that pressing any solo cancels the previous one, and only
one solo can be ON at any time. This speeds up operation by eliminating the need to switch solos off
before soloing the next channel. The Soundcraft Vi1™ includes an optimised version of this system,
allowing solos to autocancel in normal operation, but also allowing the operator to select multiple solos at
once if required. For this reason, there is no requirement for an Autocancel On/Off switch.
Input Priority OFF
* Pressing any single Input or Output Solo will cancel any other active Solo of either type.
* If an Input or Output Solo is pressed and held (whether already active or not), then one or
more other Solos are also pressed, the autocancel behaviour is bypassed, and multiple Solos
can be selected. Input Solos can change from PFL to AFL in this case if the AUTO mode is
selected for input solos, in the Monitor Setup page. Pressing any Solo after the first Solo is
released will cancel all the active Solos.
Input Priority ON
* Pressing any single Input Solo will cancel any other active Input or VCA Solo(s), and will
temporarily override (but not cancel) any active Output Solo(s), as described above.
* Pressing any single Output Solo will cancel any other active Output Solo(s).
* The autocancelling can be defeated by holding down an Input or Output Solo and then
pressing other solos of the same type. (Pressing the 'other' type of solo in this condition is
ignored).
