28 ALPHA with Bluefin
screens. Making only the relevant lists
available for selection makes it easier to
find the ports you require.
Path Type Selection
The GROUP, SURR, STEREO and MONO
buttons select the path type for the
currently assigned fader. If the path is to
be a group, its number is selected using
the rotary control and ON button. Groups
are defined as surround, stereo or mono
on the User-Busses screen. The path
type can also be selected using the User-
CHAN screen.
Move Path and Move Strip
Paths can be moved or swapped from one
fader to another, using the MOVE PATH
buttons.
To move paths, select the assign button
of the path you wish to move, and press
TO FADER (the assign button will flash).
Then select the assign button of the
destination fader, and press EXEC to
move the path. The two paths will swap
over, and any Wild control assignments
will move with them.
It is not possible to move an isolated path.
Please note: A surround master can be
moved from path to path, but it is not
possible to move a spill leg to another
fader.
Input Port Assignment
Each channel path can select between
two input ports. Ports are assigned to
inputs 1 and 2 for the currently assigned
fader using the I/O Matrix as follows:
Press 1 or 2 to select an input.
Use the rotary control to scroll
through the lists of available input
ports.
Upon reaching the desired port, press
the ON button to assign it to the input
1 or 2.
Pressing ON again will de-assign the
port .
Port assignment can also be done using
the I/O screens.
The display on the right side of the panel
shows the ports available. Pressing and
turning the rotary control gives access to
lists of other types of port. Each port can
be allocated to one of a number of lists
during installation of the console to allow
I/O which is wired for similar purposes to
be grouped together for selection.
It is possible to determine which lists of
ports appear for selection on the I/O
Matrix panel using the Options-Port Lists

The User-CHAN screen can also be used
to move paths. In addition, the whole
fader strip can be moved to a different
fader. This means that the A and B paths
including any Wild Assignments will move
to the selected destination fader strip. The
Move Path function on the I/O Matrix can
be set to always perform Move Strip using
the States screen.
Clearing Paths
Channels can be cleared off the fader
by pressing SEL FADER, CLR and
EXEC. This will clear all settings and
port assignments from the channel. This
function is also available using the User-
CHAN screen.
Fader Path Selection
In addition to the Assign buttons (A and
B) on the faders, fader paths can be called
to the Assign panels using the nudge
buttons to scroll through the faders, and
the A and B buttons to choose the path.
This is for use when pressing the fader
assign button is not convenient, or should
a fault develop on the fader strip.
Paths can also be selected by pressing
SEL FADER and entering the fader
number on the keypad. The display
on the left side of the panel shows the
currently assigned fader.
Direct Output Ports
Channel and group direct outputs can be
set up by selecting PORT1 or PORT2, and
using the rotary control and ON button to
choose and select ports. (Two ports can
be connected to each direct output).
When scrolling through the lists of output
ports, those that are in use will display “IN
USE”. Direct output ports can also be
assigned on the I/O - Output screen.
