Both Rows Buttons - SoundCraft Si3 User Manual

BOTH ROWS Buttons

There are 4 buttons in the Both Rows section
BUS SENDS Both the upper and lower rows of encoders in the output master section function as
individual bus (Aux/Group) sends 1-24 for any selected input channel fader.
Note: by default the 4 on-board Lexicon™ effects are inserted into busses 21-24. They are
inserted post-fader.
The AUX PRE button at the left of the upper row of switches can be used to switch any of the
bus sends between pre or post fade. When the AUX PRE button is active any encoder can be
pressed to toggle its send's pre/post setting.
OUTPUT PROCESSING When the OUTPUT PROCESSING button is pressed, both rows of encoders and the
switches in the upper row section are used for controlling and processing a selected bus,
matrix or master output.
This is very similar to the facilities available on the VCS™ fir input channels.
Any selected bus may have the following facilities appled:
4-band parametric EQ
Compressor
Delay
AFL trim (not for Matrix 1-8, L, R, C)
Phase reverse (not for L, R, C)
Isolate
Insert.
BUS TO MTX Both the upper and lower rows of encoders in the output master section function as
individual sends from buses 1-24 and the Left/Right/Centre buses to a selected matrix
output.
Selecting the BUS TO MTX button will prime the button (illuminated orange), the user must
then select the MTX/MAST button found in the Output Fader select section. The chosen Matrix
output is then selected by pressing an output fader SEL button.
The encoders will normally control the sends from buses 1-24. To access sends from the L, R
and C buses press the button below the top-row right-hand display window : the encoders
used for buses 22-24 will now control the L, R and C buses.
BUS MASTERS Both the upper and lower rows of encoders in the output master section function as
Master level controls for bus outputs 1-24.
The BUS PRE button at the left of the upper row can be used to globally switch an entire bus'
input channel feeds to be either pre or post fader.
When the BUS PRE button is active, the encoder for the chosen bus can be used to toggle
between pre and post fade feeds for the entire bus.
Note: if the bus is configured as a Group, the BUS PRE button has no effect.
Note: selecting a button in either the Upper or Lower Row section will extinguish any of the BOTH ROWS
buttons.
