4.5 MultiModes
Each channel and aux on the StudioLive 16.0.2 features a MultiMode
button. These buttons allow you to solo or mute a channel or
aux, as well as engage the channel FireWire returns.
The function of these buttons is determined by the control buttons
directly to the left of the row of the MultiMode buttons.
4.5.1 MultiMode Controls and the Buttons that Love Them
FireWire Return Mode Switch. Turns FireWire Playback Streaming On/Off.
When FireWire Return mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on
each channel function as the FireWire Input buttons for each channel.
This will route the hardcoded playback stream from your audio software
to the StudioLive’s channel inputs. Once a FireWire return is engaged, it
can be routed and processed the same way as analog input signals.
For example, if you want a particular recorded track to play back on mixer
channel 3, simply route that track in your audio software to StudioLive
Output 3. This button can also be used to insert a plug-in effect into
the mix. For more information on this feature, please review Section
2.6 in the StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual.
While in FireWire Return mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate orange to alert you that the FireWire return is engaged for that channel.
Power User Tip: When a FireWire return is engaged, the analog input is bypassed to
the mix bus. Because of this, do not engage a FireWire return when your StudioLive is
not connected and synced to a computer, as it will mute the analog input globally.
Solo Mode Switch. Turns Soloing On and Off.
When Solo mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel
function as the Solo buttons for each channel and aux. When a MultiMode
button is engaged while in this mode, it will solo its channel to the main
outputs or to the monitor outputs, depending on whether PFL (Pre-
Fader Listening), AFL (After Fader Listening), or SIP (Solo In Place) is
selected in the Solo bus section. Please review Section 4.8 for details.
While in Solo mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate yellow to alert you that the channel is soloed.
When a channel or bus is soloed, it will automatically be
selected, and its Select button will illuminate.
Power User Tip: When Solo In Place is engaged, Solo mode will display
both the solos and subsequent mutes across the MultiMode buttons; that is,
if you solo Channel 1 while in Solo In Place, Channel 1’s MultiMode button
will illuminate yellow; all other MultiMode buttons will illuminate red.
However, any MultiMode button you engage will solo that channel.
Mute Button. Turns Mutes On and Off.
When Mute mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel function
as the Mute buttons for each channel and aux. When a MultiMode button is
engaged while in this mode, it will mute its channel to the Main and Aux outputs.
While in Mute mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will
illuminate red to alert you that the channel is muted.
