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 other information
which you can download from the Allen & Heath web site.
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.
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.
