Fader
Like the channel faders, the position of the
STEREO
fader can differ from the internal setting if it has been
changed as the result of a MIDI command or a scene
recall.
Press the
STEREO
key alone to bring up the stereo
bus fader screen:
In this case, the
LVL
value corresponds to the physical
fader level, and
INT
gives the internal virtual fader
value (as marked by the triangular symbol beside the
on-screen fader). In both cases,
0
is full cut,
127
is full
up, and
100
is the unity gain value.
Output selection
A pair of tracks can be routed for direct output
through the analog
STEREO OUT
terminals (and the
DIGITAL OUT ).
Usually, the
DIRECT OUTPUT
parameter should be set to
OFF
(that is, the stereo bus is the signal output from
these terminals).
However, you can use the wheel to select a pair of
tracks for output from these terminals, though.
NOTE
When this function is on, the channel and stereo faders
have no effect.
Monitoring
Monitoring is a vital part of the whole recording and
production process. The 2488 provides stereo moni-
toring facilities through an external amplifier/speak-
ers combination, as well as headphones. The level for these two monitoring systems is set
using the
MONITOR LEVEL
control.
This monitoring level is affected by the level from
the
STEREO
fader, but does not affect the level of the
stereo bus.
Monitor selection
As well as the stereo bus, it is possible to monitor the
sub mix (see “Sub mix” on page 29), the effect loop,
and the two effect sends (one in each channel), which
are all shown by indicators; as well as turning off the
monitoring, when no indicator is lit. Monitoring the loop and effect sends is useful when
you want to check the exact mix (as created by the
effect sends) of the signals being sent to the effects.
Use the
MONITOR SELECT
key to cycle through the
selections.
