Chapter 4 Signal Paths
Multi-Channel routing and surround panning
The following applies to the channels which are the sources for Multi-
Channel Stems.
1 STEMS
Press one of A-H to select the desired stem destination. The button will
light and its button in the ROUTE GUI will turn red. Buttons A-H inter-
cancel. The system can be configured, via the ‘Config’ set-up file, so that
routing selections for the current Stem are cleared automatically on
selection of another Stem.
2 MULTI-FORMAT Routing Buttons
The surround routing buttons are laid out in the form of a surround sound
LS layout. Only those consistent with the format selected in the master
section will be operable. They are assigned to buttons in the ROUTE TO
TRACKS section in the Multi-Format set-up.
When a surround routing button is selected, it lights and so does the track
button which is assigned to it in the set-up. The ROUTE GUI reflects this
operation too by highlighting both buttons in red.
3 ROUTE TO TRACKS Routing Buttons
Allow routing selections direct to Tracks, independent of whether a Track
is assigned to a Stem.
4 Definable Knobs
Pan is the fire-up default for the Definable Knobs, indicated by {PAN}
being lit on the SELECT TO PANS panel. This allows control on a
channel by channel basis for L/R pan settings for Stereo and L/C/R for
surround modes.
5 Touch Sensitive Motorised Joystick Panner
Any signal routed to two or more busses can be panned using one of the
joysticks, one at each side of the control surface. The joysticks are
assigned according to channel {ACCESS} buttons. They work in tandem
with the pan knobs on the MULTITRACK panel and the L/R Pan above
the faders, when faders are assigned to control M/T Send level. Any Pan
can be used as they all track each other. If one is put into automation
write, the others will follow automatically. The joystick will move
according to automated moves and the {AUTO REC} push-button lights
when the joystick is touched.
Note
The Surround Routing buttons in the MULTI-FORMAT section of the Routing
panel and panners will always operate on whatever function is assigned to the
Faders, via the SELECT TO FADERS panel.
The functions of the individual controls on these panels are described in
more detail in Chapter 6.
