• JUMP — the internal fader level jumps to the
level set by the physical fader as soon as the physi-
cal fader is moved. Since this can result in sudden
changes in volume, resulting in possible damage to
hearing and monitoring equipment, this option
should be used with caution.
• CATCH — the fader level remains the same ini-
tially. However, if you then move the physical fader
so that the physical level becomes the internal level
(the faders “catch” the internal level), the physical
level changes at that point. This ensures that there
are no sudden leaps in volume due to a difference
between the physical fader and the internal setting.
NOTE
Note that the setting made for this option will apply to the
current song, and any songs loaded afterwards, until the
setting is changed.
Soloing
To solo a mixer channel or channels (i.e. mute all
other channels so that only the selected channels can
be heard):
1 Press and hold down the SOLO key.
2 Press the SELECT keys of any mixer channels
that you want soloed.
The SOLO indicator lights (orange) and the
SELECT indicators of any soloed channels
flash, to show that they have been soloed.
3 Release the SOLO key. The indicators stay lit
( SOLO ) or flashing (channel SELECT ) as long
as any channels are being soloed.
When channels are soloed, this is a after-fader solo.
That is, you can hear the effect of all fader, EQ and
in-line effect settings.
In addition, if you have assigned an effect to the
effects loop or the aux loop (“Effects” on page 81),
the soloed selection only will be sent to the effects
send (all other channels will be muted in the send).
The resulting effect return will be added to the solo
mix, so that you hear the soloed selection, together
with all applied effects.
NOTE
If a pair of channels has been stereo linked, pressing the
SELECT key of one channel of the pair will solo both
channels.
Remember that when you solo a channel, the output from
all other channels will be muted, not just to the monitoring
section, but also to the stereo bus. Soloing while mixing
down will destroy the mix!
Turning off soloing
1 While in solo mode (the SOLO indicator is lit),
press and hold the SOLO key.
2 Press the SELECT keys of any channels which
are flashing to un-solo them.
When all the soloed channels have been un-
soloed, the
SOLO indicator goes out.
