Dynamics Side-Chain Bus operation
The buttons for this operation are located in the Free Assign Area &
Dynamics panel. They are the assignable buttons just left of centre in the
upper section of this panel. Their function is indicated by individual 8
character displays, one positioned to the left of each button (see Chapter 6,
section 6-2-6).
There are two 8 character displays which relate to this function, and the
fire-up default is LOCAL in both. The upper display indicates the
destination for the Side-Chain Signal generated by the current channel.
The lower display indicates the source for the Side-Chain Signal for the
current channel.
For example, a display indicating SC TO G1 means that the Side-Chain
Signal is being fed to Side-Chain Bus 1. SC TO G2 means that the Side-
Chain Signal is being fed to Side-Chain Bus 2. SC FM G4 means that the
Side-Chain Signal is being received from Side-Chain Bus 4.
Dynamics Side-Chain Bus set-up procedure
The following example will send the Side-Chain Signal to Compressor
Side-Chain Bus 1. It will also use Bus 1 as its Side-Chain Signal source.
This allows:
• control of itself
• control of any other channels using Side-Chain Bus 1 as their Side-Chain
source
• control by any other channels sending their Side-Chain Signal to Side-
Chain Bus 1.
1
The middle button sets where the Side-Chain Control Signal is sent.
The default is LOCAL i.e. to its own channel. Step through the
options with this button and set it at S-C TO G1. This setting sends
its Side-Chain Control Signal to Side-Chain Bus 1.
2
The lower button sets where the Side-Chain Control Signal is
taken from. The default is LOCAL i.e. from its own channel.
Step through the options with this button and set it at SC FM G1.
With this setting, the current channel takes its Side-Chain Control
Signal from Side-Chain Bus 1.

Repeat 1 and 2 above on further channels as desired.
