Valid choices are shown in gray. Once the window is open, other input channels can be route by either selecting
them from the drop-down list or using the
<
and

arrows to step across the mixer surface.
Aux Bus
Mono
and
Stereo Aux busses
provide a way to create ‘auxiliary’ mixes which are normally used to provide head-
phone or cue mixes for musicians, or to send signals to effects such as reverbs, delays, choruses, etc.
Dim Switch
The
dim
switch in Monitor Bus strips attenuates the Monitor Bus ouput(s) by 20 dB active.
Solo In Place/Mono Switch
Toggles between
In Place
(stereo) Solo when lit or
Mono
solo monitoring. (Mono and Stereo busses only)
External Effects
Any Pyramix
Bus
can be routed to any physical output. Thus,
an
Aux
can be routed via a physical output to an
external effect. The output of the external effect is simply brought back into Pyramix via one of the physical inputs.
Configuring a Blank or Existing Mixer
Configuration of the mixer control surface can be accomplished via contextual menus or more easily using the
Configure
page. (please see the User Manual) The precise options available will depend on where you click on the
mixer. If you wish to affect the entire mixer, right-click on the top bar of the Mixer window. To change options for a
Bus, right-click on a blank area of the Bus strip. Similarly, for a channel input strip, right click on a blank area of the
Strip. Right-clicking within a function block adds menu entries to the top of the list, relevant to the specific block.
Synchronized Creation/Deletion of Tracks/Strips
Note:
When Creating, Deleting or Moving Strips in the Mixer Configuration page (or with
the right mouse button context menus) the connected Tracks are also Created/
Destroyed or moved accordingly.
•
This behavior will apply when the
Tracks > Synchronize Tracks & Strips
is checked.
•
When Strips are Created or Moved the Tracks are Created or Moved seamlessly.
•
On Deleting a Strip or Strips, only empty Tracks are destroyed. Tracks containing Clips are preserved, dis-
connected and set to minimum size.
