Mic Open System
When a port, which is assigned to a mic
open buss (On the Options - Port Lists
screens), is patched to a surround spill leg,
the mic open circuit will operate when that
surround spill leg is faded up and routed to
the program output. The system takes into
account the routing and fader status of both
the surround master and its spills, as both
will have an effect on the open path.
Independent Spill Path Control
When a surround master is selected as the
currently assigned fader, the spill panel will
become active and display the information
for each spill leg of that surround channel.
When a spill leg is selected using its
assign button, settings can be adjusted for
just that leg of the surround channel. Some
settings however, are only adjustable using
the surround master, unless the spill path
is made independent.
Normally, settings for EQ, filters and
dynamics applied to the surround master
affect all the spill legs except LFE.
The LFE spill leg controls its settings
independently of the surround master.
The EQ, FLT and DYN CTRL buttons
on the surround spill panel light when
selected, and are used to allow the
currently assigned spill leg to control
EQ, filters and dynamics independently
of its surround master. LEDs next to the
spill path’s assign button indicate which
functions are independent.
If the spill path is made independent, it
retains the existing master settings until its
own buttons or shafts are operated. If the
EQ, FLTR or DYN buttons are de-selected,
making the spill non-independent, the
spill will immediately adopt all the same
settings as the master control.
