PATCHING AND FADER LAYERS
The fader layers on Si EXPRESSION are arranged in a simple and logical form, by default the
fader layers are as follows:
•
A: Nominally first bank of mono channels (1-14 EXPRESSION 1, 1-22 EXPRESSION 2,
1-30 EXPRESSION 3).
•
B: Nominally additional mono channels plus six stereo channels
(15-22 plus stereo 1-2 and FX1-4 Si EXPRESSION 1, 23-38 plus stereo 1-2 and FX 1-4
Si EXPRESSION 2, 31-54 plus stereo 1-2 and FX 1-4 Si EXPRESSION 3).
•
C: Nominally all Mix bus masters (1-14)*.
•
D: Nominally all Matrix bus masters (1-4)*.
* Mixes 9-14 and matrix mixes 1-4 may be set to operate as mono or stereo without affecting
the number of simultaneous independent mixes you can have.
The FaderGlow system indicates the type of channel, bus or function is associated with any given
fader on the surface.
The patching system on Si EXPRESSION is very flexible and allows almost any physical input to
be patched to any logical channel; the default patches on the Si EXPRESSION are as follows:
SI EXPRESSION 1 FADER INPUT PATCHING AND LAYERS:
•
Mic In 1-14 > Channels 1-14 > Fader Layer A faders 1-14.
•
Mic In 15-16 > Channels 15-16 > Fader Layer B faders 1-2.
•
Unassigned inputs x6 > Channels 17-22 > Fader Layer B faders 3-8.
•
Line Inputs 1-4 > Channels 23-26 > Fader Layer B faders 9-10
(nominally stereo inputs 1-2).
•
