We can see on this screen that Flex Bus 1 is already set to EXT
and Multi Out 20 from our last example. All we need to do to view
the same screen for Flex Bus 2 is to press its CH EDIT button.
7.
Press Flex Bus Channel 2’s CH EDIT button. We can see that Flex
Bus 2 is also set to EXT—when we linked the two Flex Busses, Flex
Bus 2’s BUS MODE was reset to EXT to match Flex Bus 1’s setting.
However, Flex Bus 2 is still routed to Multi Out 18, and we want to
send it to Multi Out 21 so that it goes to ASSIGNABLE OUT 5.
8.
Turn V3 to select Multi Out 18, and press F3 [SET] to de-activate
the connection.
9.
Turn V3 to select Multi Out 21 and press F3 [SET] to activate this
connection. Flex Bus 2 is now routed to ASSIGNABLE OUT 5.
Let’s see how we’re going to listen to the two Flex Busses.
10. Press SOURCE SELECT. When we last visited this page, we
selected FBUS 1. Since Flex Bus 1 is now linked to Flex Bus 2, the
VM-7000 offers us FBUS 1/2 as an option. Since it’s already
selected, there’s nothing we need to do here. We’re already listening
to Flex Bus 1 and 2.
11. Press F6 [EXIT].
12. Press INPUT CH 1-24.
The display now shows us our sends to Flex Bus 1. Since Flex
Busses 1 and 2 are linked, any signal we send to Flex Bus 1 will be
sent equally to Flex Bus 2. As we’ve done before, we could raise
one of our two faders to send its signal to the two Flex Busses.
However, we also want to be able to pan each signal between the
two Flex Busses. There’s an easier place to do both things.
13. Hold down Input Channel 1’s CH EDIT button and press FLEX BUS
1-6. When the following display appears, let go of both buttons.
14. This screen lets us use the V knobs to set both the level and
panning of the signals we’re sending to Flex Busses 1 and 2.
15. Turn V1 [SEND LEVEL] to send the desired amount of Input
Channel 1’s signal into the Flex Bus 1/2 pair—set it to 100 for now.
Beneath the PAN parameter next to SEND LEVEL, you can see that
Channel 1’s SLAVE parameter is activated. When slaving is turned
on, a channel’s panning to linked Flex Busses automatically mimics
its panning in the main mix. Since we want to control Channel 1’s
panning to Flex Bus 1 and 2 independent of its position in the main
mix, we’ll de-activate SLAVE.
