VCA channel solo
Solo operation of a Channel assigned to multipleVCA Groups:
It is possible for a Channel to be assigned to more than one (up to 8 possible)VCA
Masters. How it responds to multiple VCA Solos is now discussed.
In Additive Mode, more than one signal can be solo’d. If a single Channel is assigned to mul- tiple VCA Groups, and those VCA Groups are simultaneously solo’d (via their VCA Solo switch), the Channel has to respond properly to the different Solo combinations.The differ- ent possibilities are listed below:
1.Channel individually solo’d, then 1VCA Group also solo’d: Channel remains solo’d as other channels in Group become active because of VCA Solo.When VCA Solo OFF, initial Channel stays solo’d, other channels in Group un-solo (Case outlined above- Listen to one Channel, then others in the Group, then back to initial Channel)
2.Channel initially un-solo’d, then 1VCA Group solo’d:
Channel solo is activated along with other channels of Group. If Channel is indi- vidually un-solo’d, rest of channels in Group stays solo’d,VCA Solo-OFF un-solos all.
3.Channel initially un-solo’d, then multipleVCA Groups solo’d: Channel solo is activated along with other channels of any solo’d Groups. If Channel is individually un-solo’d, the rest of the channels in that Group stays solo’d,VCA Solo-OFFun-solos all channels of that particular Group.The solo function of a particular Channel is an OR operation on the solo commands from each of the possible 8 VCA Groups the Channel is assigned to, plus the local Channel solo. Once a Channel is solo’d by a VCA Solo-ON command (or multi- ple VCA-Ons), pressing the Channel Solo Switch will un-solo the Channel. By re- pressing the Chan Solo Sw, the Chan solo will once again become active, but the Chan will no longer be associated with any particular VCA Group. Solo Clear, or re-pressing the Chan Solo Sw will be the only way to un-solo the Channel at this point. If another VCA Group Solo is activated, and the Channel is assigned to that Group, the Channel will solo, and the Channel will be associated with that VCA Group. If that VCA Group Solo is turned off, the Channel will follow and also un- solo.
