Chapter 8: Inputs and Input Routing
71
Channel Solo
Three Solo modes are available: Solo In Place (SIP), Pre-Fader
Listen (PFL), and After-Fader Listen (AFL), and several options
are available for configuring Solo bus operation. Channels can
also be implicitly soloed as part of a VCA.
To solo a channel:
Press the channel’s Solo switch. The Solo switch lights solid
to indicate the channel is explicitly soloed.
Channel Mute
To explicitly mute a channel:
Press the Mute switch on the channel. The mute switch
lights solid to indicate the channel is explicitly muted.
Channel Level
Channel level can be adjusted from the Input or FX Return
faders and using the on-screen faders. The currently selected
channel(s) can also be adjusted from the Flex Channel.
Input channel levels can also be affected by VCAs. For more
information, see “Assigning and Using VCAs” on page 79.
Channel Faders
Channel Faders provide channel level control from –
∞
(–INF)
to +12 dB. Use the faders on the console, or on-screen, to ad-
just individual channel levels.
Flex Channel
The Flex Channel provides a dedicated fader, encoder, and
LCD display along with channel Select, Solo and Mute
switches for the currently selected input channel. The Flex
Channel can be latched to any input channel for uninter-
rupted control of any vital input channel.
In its default Selected Channel mode the Flex Channel mirrors
the currently selected input channel. The Flex Channel en-
coder follows the current Encoder Assignment mode (Gain,
Pan, HPF, or an Aux Send). The Flex Channel LCD shows the
current channel name or encoder parameter in green.
In Flex Channel mode, the Flex Channel is latched (or locked)
on a channel. Selecting a different channel or banking to a dif-
ferent bank or type of channels will not change the assign-
ment of the Flex Channel, letting you keep constant control
over your most important signal.
To latch the Flex Channel from the console:
1
Select the input or output channel you want assigned to the
Flex Channel.
2
Press the Select/Latch switch on the Flex Channel. A dialog
appears on-screen asking you to confirm the assignment.
3
Press the Flex Channel Select/Latch switch again (or click
Latch
on-screen) to confirm the assignment. Click
Cancel
to
cancel the assignment.
The Flex Channel LCD shows red text when latched.
To latch the Flex Channel on-screen:
Right-click on the desired channel and choose
Latch <channel>.
See Chapter 15, “Solo and Monitor Busses.”
Channels can be muted in three ways: explicitly with the
channel mute switch; implicitly as a result of another chan-
nel being soloed, and as a member of a Mute Group or VCA.
For more information see Chapter 16, “Muting and Mute
Groups”
For more information on input and output fader banking,
see Chapter 5, “Navigating and Selecting Channels.”

Double-press the Select/Latch switch to latch that channel
and clear the confirmation dialog in one action.
