BUS feeds the direct output signal to the
mix minus bus. The output of the mix
minus bus feeds back into the channel
(or group) where the channel’s signal is
subtracted. The MIX MINUS button then
feeds the resulting signal to the direct
output.
Therefore, every channel can produce
a mix minus output which is a mix of all
the channels routed to the bus apart
from itself. MIX MINUS and BUS are
independent buttons, so the track routing
selector and the direct output can be
fed with the mix minus bus, even if the
channel is not feeding the bus.
All surround channels and groups have
surround direct outputs with the option to
downmix the output to stereo instead (on
the User-Chan screen). The mix-minus of
a surround direct output is a true mix-
minus of the whole surround channel or
group.
DIRECT OUTPUT AND MIx MINUS
Mix Minus Bus and Direct Input
The mix minus bus and direct input are
switched ON or OFF using the button
on the FUNCTIONS panel, and a rotary
control is provided for level adjustment.
The port for this is patched on the I/O -
Input screen.
