Vi5000/7000 User Manual 11.1: SOLO LOGIC
SOLO SYSTEM > SOLO LOGIC
Selecting Follow mode for the Vistonics area means that a horizontal row of Vistonics encoders will be assigned
across the whole console to the contribution levels of the currently soloed bus. There is one [FLW] key for the upper
Vistonics row and one for the lower row. To use Follow mode on Vistonics area, the Vistonics screens must have all
processing views deselected.
• If Follow Solo is NOT active for faders or Vistonics encoders, pressing a Group or Aux Output Solo will activate an
Output Solo, and it will also display the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen area for the Soloed Output, on the Master section
touch screen (in the space normally occupied by the Input Meter overview display).
• If Follow Solo IS active for either faders or Vistonics encoders, pressing a Group or Aux Output Solo/Sel will work
as described above, and will also switch the input channel faders or encoders to be assigned to the Soloed bus's
contributing sends (equivalent to 'Sends On Faders' on some other consoles). The Faderglow colour will illuminate in
this case to indicate the type of bus contributions being assigned to the input faders: Orange for Aux sends and Green
for Group sends (although the faders themselves have no function with Group sends - only the channel ON keys are
used).
• If a Matrix Output Solo/Sel is pressed, regardless of the setting of Follow Solo modes, the Output Solo will be acti-
vated, the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen for the Matrix Output displayed, and the channel faders will be assigned to the
contribution levels from the Outputs to the Soloed Matrix Output. The Faderglow of input faders will change to Pale
Blue (Cyan) to indicate Matrix contributions are now being controlled.
Whilst an Output Solo is active, the [FLW] key can be pressed at any time to drop out of Follow mode and switch back
to channel faders for global level adjustments, and then pressed again to drop back into Follow mode for adjustments
to contribution mix again.
The [FLW] key for fader area is automatically switched on when you load the Monitor
Default Show, as this functionality is primarily intended for monitor mixing.
Note: the [FLW] key for fader area has an additional function in allowing VCAs to control the Aux sends of input chan-
nels. See chapter 9 for details.
