5 – Channel modules : Aux and buss setup

Aux and buss setup

The third page of the MODULE screens provides a way to view and make the aux send settings and the buss panning between odd- and even-numbered busses (channel modules only in stereo mode, not surround mode when the buss pan follow mode is off—see “BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN” on page 34). Note also the on-screen FLW button below the pan pot on the right of the screen, which links buss and stereo panning.

NOTE

Aux 1-2 have an extra option here. In addition to being able to select the pre- and post-fader aux send position, channels 1 through 32 can also use the “return” signal (“Input routing” on page 47) as an aux send, allowing recorder returns to be used as a cue feed to the studio, etc.

Aux send screens (unlinked) Pressing the dedicated AUX function keys brings up appropriate screens which allow the viewing and setting of aux sends for all channels:

Figure 5.13: Module aux and buss screen

Use the cursor keys to move the “control box” of four PODs up and down.

For unlinked aux sends, the four POD encoders are used to set the aux send levels for the individual aux sends.

For linked aux sends, the PODs are paired, with the left encoder being used to set the pan (or balance in the case of linked channels) position between the two aux sends, and the right encoder setting the level.

Use the cursor keys and ENTER key to set the pre/ post aux send position.

Figure 5.14: Aux send screen (unlinked)

Moving the cursor around the screen highlights four on-screen controls where the POD encoders are used to set the values. In the case of linked channels, the left POD of the pair is used to set the level.

The POD 2 key is used to select the screen for the even-numbered aux send level setting.

Copying settings between aux sends and channel levels At the bottom of the

screen is a facility that allows the copying of channel levels to the aux sends, or the other way round. This is useful when setting up a studio cue monitor mix based on the channel settings.

Use POD 2 to select between CH>AUX and AUX>CH, and press ENTER. A popup appears to confirm this setting (ENTER to confirm, cursor keys to cancel).
