Solo Safing Channels
Solo Safe is a state which prevents a channel from being im-
plicitly muted when any other channel is soloed. Only input
and FX return channels can be made solo safe. Solo safed
channels are automatically added to any explicitly soloed
channels.
Solo Safe only applies to SIP and AFL modes. Solo safe status is
ignored in PFL mode.
To toggle the solo safe status of Input Channels and FX Re-
turns, the Safe switches must be set to control the Solo Safe
function.
To set Safe switches to control the Solo Safe function:
1
Go to the Options page and click the
Interaction
tab.
2
Under
Input Safe Switches
, select
Act as Solo Safes
.
To toggle the solo safe status of a channel, do one of the
following:
Select one or more channels, then press the Safe switch in
the Selected Channel Input section.
– or –
Click the on-screen
Solo Safe
button for the channel.
The Safe switch and button flash to indicate the channel is
solo safe. When a channel is soloed because of its Solo Safe sta-
tus, its Solo switch flashes.
Monitor Bus Operation
The Monitor bus outputs signal to the headphone output on
the top of the console (in the Monitoring section). The Mon-
itor bus outputs can also be routed to hardware outputs and to
bus-fed plug-ins.
Monitor Bus Switching
The following signals can feed the Monitor bus, listed below
in order of priority: Key Listen, Solo bus, and the Mains mix.
Dynamics Key Listen
Pressing a Key Listen button on-screen sends the key signal
from the targeted channel’s built-in dynamics processor to the
Monitor bus.
Key Listen temporarily overrides the currently enabled Solo
bus operation (PFL or AFL), and replaces any other signal on
the Monitor bus with the mono key signal.
AFL/PFL Solo Bus
In AFL or PFL mode, signal from any soloed channels is sent to
the Monitor bus. When any channel is soloed, the Solo bus
overrides the 2-Track return if it is enabled, or the Main mix if
it is currently being sent to the monitors.
Mix to Monitors
The Mains mix (the signal present on the Mains busses) can be
sent to the Monitor bus.
Assignable Monitor Output
The Monitor bus can be routed to hardware outputs and to
bus-fed plug-ins.
Hardware Outputs
For routing to hardware outputs, the Moni-
tor (Solo) bus outputs are available in the Mains tab of the
Patchbay Outputs page. Monitor bus outputs are assignable to
any number of physical outputs on the system. Use this capa-
bility to route monitor outputs to multiple cue stations (in-ear
mix and wedge mix), or to an outboard analyzer.
Bus-Fed Plug-Ins
For routing to bus-fed plug-ins, the Monitor
bus appears as a choice in the plug-in routing selector. This
lets you route the Monitor bus to a bus-fed stereo plug-in such
as an onboard analyzer. Plug-ins can not be inserted on the
Monitor bus.
