Monitoring and Soloing
The flexible monitoring and soloing capabilities of the VM200 enable
you to use the mixer in a wide range of applications.
The monitoring functions enable you to listen to input channel sig-
nals or buss signals through connected monitor speakers or head-
phones.
The soloing function enables you to select the channels you want to
hear while excluding all other channels. This lets you focus your
attention on certain tracks in the mix.
For example, say you want to listen closely to the way the rhythm sec-
tion is working in a mix. The solo function lets you “solo” the chan-
nels that carry the bass and drums, while excluding the channels
dedicated to the other instruments.
You specify the channels you want to hear by pressing the corre-
sponding channel
[SOLO] keys on the top panel.
The Setup:System 1:CLOCK/MON function page features two parameters
that control the monitoring and soloing functions of the VM200: the
MON SEL (monitor select) and SOLO MODE parameters.
You can display the 1:CLOCK/MON function page by pressing the [SYS-
TEM] key.
MON SEL Parameter
The Mon Sel (Monitor Select) parameter enables you to select the
source for the MONITOR OUT and PHONES jack.
(However, if a channel is “soloed,” it will override the selection of the
Mon Sel parameter.)
You can select one of the following sources: ST-B (stereo buss),
REC-B (record buss), AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, AUX4, EFF1, EFF2,
AUX1&2, or AUX3&4. For more information on these options, see
“Monitoring” on page 100.
SOLO MODE Parameter
The Solo Mode parameter enables you to configure the solo function
of the VM200.
You can solo input channels 1 through 20 and the buss outs by
