System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual Channels and Strips

Right-to-mono:Press the lower key next to the Bal knob to send the right channel equally to both the left and right sides of the stereo channel.

Both-to-mono:Press both keys next to the Bal knob to send a mono mix of both channels equally to both sides of the stereo channel. The Bal knob then adjusts the mix between left and right channels.

•Swap: Press the lower key to reverse the left and right channels.

Signal Processing In/Out

Press the X key (once from the B Input page, twice from the A Input page) to display the Signal Processing In/Out page. The four lower knobs show the four processors; the signal path is from top to bottom. Press the lower button to the left of the knob to toggle the In/Out status of that processor; the switch lights when the processor is in.

NOTE: The function In/Out switches to the left of the Strip’s function switches also toggle the processors In/Out.

See Section 8.4.2 on page 115 to learn how to change the processor order.

8.3.2Dynamics

Each channel has a compressor/expander/gate with an external key input. Press the Dyn function key to assign Dynamics to the knobset; the TFT display at the top of the Strip shows the dynamics graph (yellow when dynamics are In, gray when bypassed). The red dot is a GainBall that shows the signal’s current gain (y-axis) and the attack and release times as the ball rides up and down the curve.

The Dynamics section may be switched in/out with the Dyn In key to the left of the Strip’s function keys. The Expander/Gate and Compressor can be switched in/out indi- vidually on their respective knobset configuration pages. Use the knob to adjust the pa- rameters. Each section discusses the effect, if any, of the switches.

NOTE: The Dynamics processor can be set as either Expander/Gate or Compressor but not both simultaneously. Turning on one function while the other is active will switch off the other function.

The first Dynamics page (Figure 8-10)shows the controls for the compressor. Press the

Xkey to display pages with the parameters for Expander/Gate and Sidechain.

See Section 8.4.1 - Channel Patch Points to see how to patch the sidechain, which can be fed from any source. Patching the sidechain can also be done in PatchNet.
