Basic settings for MIX buses and MATRIX buses
234

This section explains how to change the basic settings for MIX buses and MATRIX buses, such

as switching between stereo and monaural, and selecting the position from which the signal is

sent from an input channel.

The settings you make in the following procedure are saved as part of the scene.

1In the function access area, press the
SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.
2In the center right of the SETUP screen,
press the BUS SETUP button to open the
BUS SETUP popup window.
In the BUS SETUP popup window you can make vari-
ous settings for MIX buses and MATRIX buses.
This popup window contains the following items.
1SIGNAL TYPE (Signal processing
method)
This selects whether two adjacent odd-numbered/
even-numbered buses will be used as stereo channels
whose main parameters are linked (STEREO) or as
two monaural channels (MONO x2).
BBUS TYPE / PRE FADER SEND POINT
For two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered
buses, this selects the position from which the signal
will be sent from the input channel. For a MIX bus,
you can also switch the bus type (VARI or FIXED)
here.
CPAN LINK
This specifies whether the position from which the sig-
nal is sent from an input channel to the stereo bus will
be linked with the INPUT TO ST PAN setting.
DMIX BUS SETUP/MATRIX BUS SETUP
tabs
These tabs switch between the MIX bus and MATRIX
bus setting screens.
3Use the MIX BUS SETUP/MATRIX BUS
SETUP tabs to view either the MIX buses or
the MATRIX buses.
4Use the buttons in the SIGNAL TYPE field to
specify whether each bus will function as
STEREO (main parameters will be linked for
two adjacent odd-numbered/even-num-
bered buses) or MONOx2 (use as two mon-
aural channels).
5Use the buttons of the BUS TYPE / SEND
POINT field to select the position from
which the signal of the input channel will be
sent.
In the case of a MIX bus, you can use this field to
switch the type of bus (VARI or FIXED). The follow-
ing items can be selected for each bus.
●MIX bus
•VARI [PRE EQ]
...........The send level of the MIX bus is
adjustable. Choose this if you want
to use the MIX bus as an external
effect send or as a foldback output.
The signal is sent from immediately
before the input channel EQ (attenu-
ator).
•VARI [PRE FADER]
...........The send level of the MIX bus is
adjustable. Choose this if you want
to use the MIX bus as an external
effect send or as a foldback output.
The signal is sent from immediately
before the input channel fader.
• FIXED ........... The send level of the MIX bus is
fixed at nominal level (0.0 dB).
Choose this if you want to use the
MIX bus as a group output or as a
bus output for recording on a multi-
track recorder. The signal is sent
from immediately after the [ON] key
of the input channel.
●MATRIX bus
• PRE EQ.......... The signal is sent from immediately
before the input channel EQ (attenu-
ator).
• PRE FADER... The signal is sent from immediately
before the input channel fader.
