Configuring The Output Channels - SoundCraft Si3 User Manual

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUT CHANNELS

The 24 output bus channels can be individually configured as Auxes or as Groups. They can also be
configured as mono busses or as stereo pairs. If they are configured as stereo pairs the pairs are always
consecutive busses, and the left channel is always an odd-numbered channel, and its right twin is the next
bus up.
The attributes of the Auxes and Groups are as follows:
The sends from the input channels to the auxes have ON/OFF switches and a level control (Stereo pair
auxes have a level control and a pan control). The aux bus outputs can be routed to the LR & C busses.
The FaderGlow™ colour for Auxes is yellow.
The sends from the input channels to the groups have On/OFF switches but no level control. Stereo groups
can use the channel's pan control to route the channel's signal to the Group pair. The group bus outputs
can be routed to the LR & C busses. The FaderGlow™ colour for Groups is green.
Configuration is done via the touch screen. Proceed as follows:
1. If the main menu screen isn't already on, press MENU. Touch the BUS pad on the screen.
2. Using a combination of the 1-12 or the 13-24 button, and the appropriate SEL button on the output
bay, the required bus' parameters will be displayed on the touch-screen.
3. Rotate the ADJUST encoder until the required parameter is highlighted, then press the encoder to
select the parameter. The parameters available are: bus type (Aux or Group), bus width (Mono or
Stereo) and PRE FADER SOURCE (Pre or Post EQ). See chapter 6 for further information.
4. Rotate the encoder to change the selected parameter. Press the encoder to register the change.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 to change another parameter.
6. Repeat step 2 to select another bus.
7: Press MENU to exit the configuration process.
Note: it is possible to set up a combination of aux and group outputs, each with a mixture of mono singles
and stereo pairs.
