Sending the signal from an input channel to a MIX bus
LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual
3
Use the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section keys
to select the send-destination MIX bus.
The LED of the corresponding key will light, indicat-
ing that it is selected as the send-destination.
4
Press the same key of the MIX/MATRIX
SELECT section once again.
The key will change from lit to blinking, and the LEDs
of the remaining keys in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT
section will light. This indicates that the LS9 is now in
SENDS ON FADER mode (in which you can use the
faders to control the send levels to the MIX bus /
MATRIX bus).
In SENDS ON FADER mode, the function of the
channel module section’s faders and [ON] keys (the
ST IN section’s encoders and [ON] keys) will change
as follows.
● Faders/Encoders
These will adjust the send level of the signal sent from
the input channels to the currently selected MIX bus.
When you switch from normal mode to SENDS ON
FADER mode, the fader positions will move to the
value of the send levels to the currently selected MIX
bus.
● [ON] keys
These will operate as on/off switches for the signal
sent from the input channels to the currently selected
MIX bus. When you switch from normal mode to
SENDS ON FADER mode, the [ON] keys will light or
go dark according to the on/off status of the signals
being sent to the currently selected MIX bus.
● [SEL] keys
The [SEL] key of the selected channel will blink, and
the [SEL] keys of channels that are not selected will
light. However, the [SEL] keys of unassigned modules
will go dark.

If you selected a VARI type MIX bus in step
3, use the faders of the channel module
section and the encoders of the ST IN sec-
tion to adjust the send level from the chan-
nels to the MIX bus you selected in step 3.
As necessary, switch fader layers to the layer that con-
tains the desired send-source input channels.
6
To switch the on/off status of a signal sent
to a VARI/FIXED type MIX bus, press the top
panel [ON] key.
If the send-destination MIX bus is set to stereo, on/off
operations will be linked for the signal sent to the two
adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses.
7
Repeat steps 3–6 to adjust the send level
and switch the on/off status for other MIX
buses in the same way.
8
When you’ve finished setting the MIX send
levels, press the key that is currently blink-
ing in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section.
The LS9 will return to normal mode.
In SENDS ON FADER mode (when the send-destina-
tion is a MIX bus), the STEREO MASTER module
will operate differently depending on the selected
fader layer.

• You can assign the SENDS ON FADER function to a user-
defined key. This allows you quickly switch to SENDS ON
FADER mode for a specific MIX bus, or quickly return to the
previous state.
• You can also use the [HOME] key to cancel SENDS ON
FADER mode.
HINT
• If you switch the fader layer from 1-16 {1-32}, 17-32 {33-64},
or CUSTOM FADER to MASTER while in SENDS ON FADER
mode (when the send-destination is a MIX bus), SENDS ON
FADER mode will be cancelled.
• You cannot operate the fader or [ON] key of a channel that is
not a send-source (a channel that does not have a MIX SEND
parameter) or of a channel that is not a send-destination bus
master.
