Transport Layout; Desk Layout - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

Setup Options

Transport Layout

The transport control < and > buttons can be set here (see opposite) to provide an
Event Jog, locate to Mix Start and End Times, or Frame Jog function. The other
transport control buttons – Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Record can be
configured with regard to their physical layout. Stab on a box and a pop-up will
appear listing the possibilities; stab on a function to select it. When you have finished,
a warning pop-up will appear to remind you that changes have been made, and that
you must replace the now mismatched hardware button caps before total confusion
occurs.
This pop-up also provides a choice as to how the system will be put into record – by
pressing the Play + Record buttons, or the Record button only. Note that the setting
here does not affect the similarly named parameters for DCTM machines in the
Machine Setup Options pop-up (see Section 3).

Desk Layout

On system commissioning, this display (see opposite) is used to configure the layout
of the console and its relationship to the computer. If you stab on an empty bay, you
can see the pop-up list from which bay entries are drawn. The On/Off box beneath
each bay confirms that power is present or not. Hysteresis has a default value of 5. Do
not alter this unless advised to do so by qualified SSL personnel.
The Large Fader motors can be permanently disabled here by toggling Large Faders
have Motors to Not Motorised. This selection overrides the console's MOTORS
ON/OFF button. If the motors are disabled, the Total Recall display will include a
Large Fader in the graphical channel strip display, and a Groups box in the
RECALL/Options menu (see Section 6).
Buttons release on Up/Down relates to all non-latching switch objects. Basically, you
have a choice as to whether a switch turns off as you push down on it, or as you
release it. This is particularly important when it comes to automated mixing – think
about it!.
The correct layout configuration will have been saved to the System Disk during
system commissioning. If you make any changes to Large Faders have Motors and/or
Buttons release on Up/Down, Save them to the System Disk, as required. If you make
erroneous changes, use Revert to return to the saved settings. Hit OK to clear the
display.
