Channel Fader; On Button; Solo Button - SoundCraft Si3 User Manual

CHANNEL FADER

The channel faders are used for controlling the output levels of the input channels,
stereo line inputs and Lexicon Effects returns.
The channel faders can also be used to control Aux sends and FX Sends. When the
fader is being used in any role other than channel fader, the FaderGlow™ for the fader
will be activated to indicate its function (see Page 2-5).

ON Button

The channel ON button is used to switch the channel On or Off. When it is switched Off,
no signal will be routed from the channel to the Main Mix bus or any of the Group/Aux
buses. The button is illuminated green when it is ON.

Soundcraft® Si3 User Guide
Note! If the relevant channel is part of either a Mute or VCA group, the channel
ON button takes priority, i.e. the channel On switch will, if switched OFF, block
the signal even if a Mute group or VCA group is trying to route the signal.
Note! If the input channel faders are being used as Auxiliary sends(see page
4-16/17), the ON button is used to switch the contributing channels to the
selected bus output On or Off.
