8) Front Panel Mixer section
These faders allow you to modify mix levels quickly. They are ÒglobalÓ
controls in that they affect all programs. They are also relative to the mixer
settings within each program. To allow you room to Ònudge the level up a
bitÓ and to reproduce the factory programs as they were mixed, you should
align the Lead, Harmony and Reverb faders with the raised bump placed at
70% of each faderÕs travel, which is called the Ònominal level".
The
Lead
level fader controls the amount of your dry, unprocessed voice in
the mix. If the Lead voice is turned off in any particular program, this control
will have no effect, and there will be no dry, unprocessed voice output from
the Workstation regardless of the Bypass position.
The
Harmony
level fader controls the level of the harmony voices in the
mix. If the Harmony voice is turned off in a particular program, this control
will have no effect
The
Reverb
Level fader controls the amount of reverb added to the com-
bined lead and harmony voice mix. Each Program allows you to store unique
lead and harmony reverb levels.
The
Input
control varies the input level for the microphone and line inputs.
The raised bump in the control corresponds to 0 dB.
The
Output
control varies the output level for both left and right outputs
and the Headphone jack. The raised bump in the control corresponds to 0
dB at +4 dBu nominal, the professional standard for signal levels. If your
mixer accepts semi-pro signal levels (-10 dBu) you should reduce this
fader.
