PRO6 Live Audio System
Owner’s Manual
In the GUI channel strip, the mix bus (sends) processing area has a similar layout to
the mix section (mix and master bays).
However, the input channel
overview gives a simultaneous
display of the status of all 32
buses. It displays the levels sent
to the buses and shows which are
on/off and whether they are pre-
or post-fader. For details, see
diagram right.
Note: Although the ramps in the
diagram appear to be pixelated,
this is not the case when these
are viewed on the actual GUI.
This is because the PRO6 GUI
incorporates anti-aliasing to
ensure its displays are crisp and
clear.
Operators sometimes need to
access main faders and multiple
auxes at the same time. To
facilitate this, there is a GUI
option that changes the ‘flip’
operation/function and places aux
level controls onto the pan control
knobs.
Desired buses are flipped using quick access buttons and the FLIP button (see Figure 9
“Location of the navigational controls on the control surface” on page 52). When input
faders are flipped the LCD switches all change colour to match bus colour (red/yellow/
blue/green) or become inverted text to indicate faders no longer function in the normal
way on the main channel path
You can edit the levels on the GUI using drag.
After selecting a bus, control is via one of the following methods:
Bus type Control
Mono aux/matrix Level from fader; ON and PRE active
Stereo aux/matrix Level from fader; pan from main pan; ON and PRE
active
Stereo aux/matrix Level from fader; pan from main pan; ON and PRE
active
Mono group Post-main fader; ON active
Stereo group Post-main fader and pan; ON active
Mono mix minus Post-main fader; ON means ‘minussed’ from the bus
Stereo mix minus Post-main fader and pan; ON means ‘minussed’ from
the bus
