6. Operation
6.18.2 PFL Mode
Turn the
PFL Mode
rotary control to change the PFL mode for the PFL / Cue bus. The mode affects whether
you can select multiple PFL / CUE buttons, and what happens when you open or close faders with PFL
enabled.
The available options are:
·
SUM
(default mode) – multiple PFL buttons may be selected. Where faders are closed, sources are
summed onto the PFL Bus; when a fader is opened, PFL is cancelled. Where faders are open,
sources are put into ‘PFL Prepare’ and will be summed onto the PFL Bus once the fader is closed.
·
SUM R
– identical to
PFL Mode SUM
but PFL recurs if you open the fader (cancel the PFL) and then
close the fader. In this mode, PFL is only cancelled by deselecting the PFL button.
·
PFL
– identical to PFL SUM, but PFL buttons intercancel such that only one source may ever be in
PFL or PFL prepare.
·
PFL R
- identical to
PFL Mode PFL
but PFL recurs if you open the fader (cancel the PFL) and then
close the fader. In this mode, PFL is only cancelled by deselecting the PFL button.
·
PFL A
- this mode is called PFL Always and is identical to
PFL Mode SUM
with the exception that it
allows open faders to be put into PFL rather than PFL Prepare.
·
PFL AR
- this mode is a combination of PFL Always and PFL Recurring which means that PFL is never
cancelled by opening a fader.
·
PFL PUSH
– PFL is momentary. This means PFL is active when you press the PFL button, and
cancels on release.
·
PFL DJ
- allows you to prepare a fader level which is applied when you put the fader on-air. Press PFL
and adjust the fader level. Then deselect PFL and press START to put the fader on-air - the fader jumps
to the prepared level. (Note that the prepared level is applied only once. So, if you take the fader off-air,
and then press START again - the fader jumps to 0dB as normal.)
·
AFL
- the channel's PFL buttons operate as AFL (After Fade Listen). The channel's after-fader signal is
routed to the PFL bus. Multiple AFLs may be summed. AFL is only cancelled by deselecting the AFL
button.
·
AFL/PFL
- as for
AFL
, but the channel's PFL signal is heard when the fader is closed; when the fader
opens, the listen bus receives AFL.
