Step 8 – Customise your configuration
Once you have familiarised yourself with the operation of the iLive through using a Template Show, you may wish to take advantage of its unique flexibility by reconfiguring the channel and master strip layout, DSP mix bus and stereo channel architecture, soft key assignments and more. You can ‘design’ your own console to suit the way you like to work.
Note - These instructions are intended to get you started. For more information on configuring the iLive and using its advanced features please refer to the TouchScreen HELP manual and the iLive Reference Guide which you can download from the Allen & Heath web site.

Mono/St Matrix Input FX return DCA master Wedge/IEM master
To change the FADER STRIP LAYOUT
Any input, mix master, DCA master or Wedge/IEM master can be assigned to any strip on any layer in any Bank.
Go to the SURFACE SETUP / Strip Setup screen.
Select Single to assign a single strip. Press a channel SEL key. Assign Channel Type using the drop down menu. Touch Channel Number and use the encoder to scroll to the number you want. Press Apply.
Select Block to assign a range of strips. Press the start strip SEL key. Press the end strip SEL key. Assign the channel type and start number as above.
Note - The strip SEL keys are used to select which strips to assign while in this mode. Make sure you exit SETUP mode to restore normal channel processing selection.
None - No main mix, eg. Monitor mixer M - Mono
LR - Stereo
LRSub - 3way mix with separate sub mix LRM - 3way mix with send to a mono fill LCR - Conventional LCR panning LCRSub - LCR with separate sub mix LCRM - LCR with send to mono fill LCRplus - LCR with pan and blend control
To change the MIX BUS configuration
Press the TouchScreen MIXRACK key to view the current channel settings and assignments of the 32 mix buses.
MIXRACK / Mixer Config / Mix Config - Use this screen to change the mix bus configuration.
Configure the 32 mix buses as a combination of mono or stereo Groups, Auxes, FX sends, Main mix and Matrix. Configure all or as many buses as you need. Counters keep a check on the number of buses, mix outputs and FX sends remaining. Press Apply when finished.
For monitor mixing, you can also choose whether to apply processing to the engineer's Wedge or IEM monitor master when using the system as a dedicated Monitor console.
Note - Reconfiguring the channel stereo and mix bus architecture makes major changes to the system DSP and overwrites related settings. These changes can take up to 1 minute to process and should be made during system setup and not during the show.
Note – Changing the DSP architecture resets the mix and channel parameters. If you want to keep your settings store these first as a Scene memory. Recall the Scene after making your changes.
