FADER FLIP - SENDS ON FADER Button
Press to activate the M32R’s
Sends on Fader
function. This function aids
with the level setting of channels sent to any of the 16 Mix Buses. It is
only for channels assigned to Mix Buses 1-16, and does not work for DCA
groups, main or matrix buses. The
Sends on Fader
function works in two
convenient ways to cover the most obvious situations in a live environment:
When preparing a monitor mix for a specified musician
•
Select the monitor bus (
BUS 1-8
or
BUS 9-16
) that feeds the
musician’s stage monitor
•
Press the
Sends on Fader
button, which will then flash
•
Select one of the three input channel layers (
INPUTS 1-16,
INPUTS 17-32, AUX IN / USB
or
BUS MAST
)
•
As long as
Sends on Fader
is active all faders in the input channels
section correspond to the send levels on the selected monitor
mix bus.
When checking or editing where a selected input signal is to
be sent
•
Select the input channel in the left-hand section
•
Press the
Sends on Fader
button, which will then flash
•
Select either bus channel layer (
BUS 1-8
or
BUS 9-16
)
•
The bus faders now represent the send levels of the selected
input channel.
TIP:
Sends on Fader can also be used for conveniently sending Bus or Main M/C
signals to Matrices.

EM - DAW Remote Button
Press this button to enable remote control of your Digital Audio Workstation
software using the Group/Bus fader section controls. This section can
emulate HUI or Mackie Control Universal communication with your DAW.
(7)
GROUP DCA 1-8
Press this button to select the Group DCA layer.
A DCA group is a grouping function, made possible by the console’s
digital operation, where individual input channels can be grouped
together and controlled with a single output fader on the right-hand
side of the console. Unlike the traditional sub-grouping function found
on analogue consoles, a DCA group does not combine the different input
channels into a common sub-mix. Instead, the individual input channels still
retain their original routing characteristics, but their level adjustments are
commonly controlled.
(8)
BUS 1-8 / 9-16

layer on the right-most eight fader strips.
