FX Reassign System

An innovative feature of the SL9000 is its FX Send reassign system – EFX for short,
which provides an extended auxiliary send capability of up to 56 extra busses without
using the Small Fader as a level control.
The Auxiliary Sends section of each I/O module includes one stereo and 6 mono aux
send controls. Auxes can be sourced from pre or post the Large or Small Fader. For
more details on this, see Section 3.
The reassign system allows any two mono FX sends, or the stereo cue send, to be
disconnected from their respective busses and used as sources for the channel's
Multitrack Routing Matrix, Stereo Subgroup bus routing and/or the channel's Group
Output.
Aux sends are assigned to the EFX system using the EFX switches by each one. FX1, 3
and 5 can be assigned to EFX ODD. FX 2, 4 and 6 can be assigned to EFX EVEN.
Selecting EFX on the Stereo Cue send feeds Stereo Cue L to EFX ODD and Stereo Cue
R to EFX EVEN. Note that only one odd and one even numbered FX send or Stereo
Cue can be assigned simultaneously. Lower numbered sends take priority over higher
numbered ones, and Cue Stereo takes the highest priority. Red (EFX ODD) or green
(EFX EVEN) LEDs indicate that a send is assigned to the EFX system.
The Multitrack Routing and Stereo Subgroup busses can be fed by Large or Small
Fader (post pan control) signals, or by one or both of the EFX ODD/EVEN signals. If
one EFX switch is selected, then the corresponding routing output will be fed in mono
by the selected source. Selecting both switches together will feed EFX ODD to left
(odd) and EFX EVEN to right (even) bus. This enables any two Aux Send controls to
be re-routed to the Multitrack or Stereo busses, allowing large numbers of
independent headphone or effects send mixes to be generated.
Connect FX device inputs to the appropriate Group Output jacks if sends are
reassigned to the Multitrack Routing. In the case of Stereo Subgroups, connect devices
to the appropriate Stereo Bus Output jacks.
The Group Output is normally fed by the multitrack bus Mix Amp, but this can be
replaced with a post-fader channel signal by pressing FADER, or by the EFX ODD or
EFX EVEN signals. Note that although Group Outputs above Channel 48 cannot be
accessed via the Multitrack Routing Matrix, they can be be accessed from the same
numbered channel by selection of EFX ODD and EFX EVEN (or for a post channel
fader signal, by FADER).
