Internal FX Bus Controls
FX Level Control. Adjusts the Master Level of the Effects-Send Mix.
This knob controls the overall output level of the internal effects mix.
Internal Effects Bus Select Button. Enables Fat Channel Viewing.
As described in
Section 4.1.1
, the Select button routes its effects bus through the Fat
Channel, allowing you to add dynamics processing and EQ. From the Fat Channel,
you can also route each effects bus to the subgroups or mains. By default, FXA, FXB,
FXC, and FXD are routed to the Main bus. This will also open the Parameter Detail
page for the selected FX bus in the LCD.
See Section 5.1
for more information.
Mute Button. Mutes/Unmutes the Internal Effects Bus.
This button will mute or unmute its internal effects (FX)
bus. It will illuminate red when the bus is muted.

Aux and FX Bus Channel Sends
In addition to setting the dynamics for each channel and bus and
metering each channel and output, the Fat Channel also allows you to
create aux mixes and quickly view the send level for each channel.
The Mix and Mix|Pan buttons for each aux and FX bus are used for
just this purpose. Each of these buttons allows you to view and
set the send level for each channel to that aux or FX mix.
Mix Button. Enables Aux Bus Mixing in the Fat Channel.
When the Mix button is pressed once, the 32/24/16 encoder knobs in the Fat
Channel become the aux-send level controls for each of their respective input
channels. The meters will display the send amount for each of the input channels.
Aux Flip Mode. Enables Aux Send Level Control for Main Digital return,
Tape In, Aux Ins A and B, FXA, FXB, FXC, FXD, and Talkback.
Pressing the Mix button a second time will switch the first nine meters and encoders
to become the aux-send level controls for the Main Digital Return, Analog Tape In,
Aux Input A, Aux Input B, the output of FXA, FXB, FXC, FXD, and the Talkback mic.
While in this mode, the Mix button will remain illuminated, and an LED
at the top and bottom of the remaining meters will also illuminate.
Press the Mix button a third time to disengage Aux Mix mode.
Mix|Pan Button. Enables Pan Control and Metering in the Fat Channel (Stereo Send
Mode Only).
When two auxes are stereo-linked, and the Mix button is enabled on the even-
numbered aux bus (2, 4, 6, etc.), the Fat Channel encoders become the pan controls
for their respective input channels. The meters will display the pan setting of each of
the input channels. When the Mix button is enabled on the odd-numbered aux bus
(1, 3, 5, etc.), the Fat Channel encoders are send controls for their respective channels.
Press the Mix|Pan button a second time to disengage Aux Mix Pan mode.
For more information on stereo linking,
please review Section 4.1.6
.
Pan control is not available for the additional buses accessed by Aux Flip Mode.
