VENUE SC48 Guide
64
Each selected channel is combined with the next-highest se-
lected channel, even if the selected channels are not contigu-
ous. Blank strips are created and inserted where necessary to
maintain channel layout in that bank. Parameter values from
the leftmost channel of each pair are applied to both chan-
nels, and the pan control becomes a Balance/Width control.
Combined channels are shown in the patchbay as left and
right sides of the Input Channel name. FX Returns are always
stereo, so they cannot be combined or split.
On the console, the channel St (Stereo) LED lights to indicate
that a channel is a stereo channel.
To split a stereo channel into two mono channels:
1
Put the system into Config mode.
2
Select the stereo channel you want to split.
3
Right-click the selected channel and choose
Split Selected
Stereo Strip to Mono
.
Each selected stereo channel is split, placing the channels next
to each other on the console and in the Patchbay. Blank strips
are deleted to maintain channel layout.
Naming Channels
Input Channel and FX Return channel names can be changed
from the Inputs page or from the Patchbay.
To change the name of an Input Channel or FX Return channel:
1
Go the Patchbay page and click the
Inputs
tab.
2
Target the channel whose name you want to change by
pressing its Select switch or selecting it on-screen.
3
Double-click the channel name.
4
Type a new name and press Enter on the computer key-
board.
Assigning Input Sources to Channels
Available input sources for Input Channels or FX Returns in-
clude:
• Stage inputs (slots A, B and C)
• Local FOH inputs (2-Track sources, Talkback, Oscillator)
• Pro Tools outputs (FWx)
• Plug-In outputs
Inputs sources are assigned to Input Channels or FX Returns
in the Patchbay.
To assign an input source to an Input Channel or FX Return:
1
Go to the Patchbay page and click the
Inputs
tab.
2
To the left of the channel grid, click the
Channels
tab or the
FX Returns
tab.
3
Click the
Stage, FOH,
or
Pro Tools
tab to display the desired
type of input sources.
4
Click in the channel grid to assign an input source to an In-
put Channel or FX Return.
The Inputs tab of the Patchbay shows the input source and
destination above the grid. Input source is also shown below
the channel name in the Inputs and Patchbay Inputs page.
A single input source can be assigned to multiple Input Chan-
nels or FX Returns (you can fan out a source to multiple chan-
nels). Gain control, phantom power and pad settings are
linked across the channels. Each Input Channel or FX Return
may be fed by only one input source (multiple sources cannot
be routed to a single channel).
Assigning Bus-Fed Plug-Ins, Osc/Talkback/2-Track
Bus-fed plug-ins can be patched to Input Channels and FX Re-
turns from the Plug-In Rack (see “Using Plug-Ins as a Bus Pro-
cessor” on page 152).
You can also route the built-in Oscillator, Talkback input, and
2-Track sources to input channels (see “Routing the Oscilla-
tor” on page 118).
