8.8.5 - MIDI AFL
When using mixing consoles that offer MIDI capability such as the Allen&Heath
ML4000 and ML5000™, the After Fader Listen (AFL) buttons can be used to recall the
pre-crossover (Graphic or Parametric) EQ settings on the 480R DriveRack. When the
AFL button is engaged on one of the console outputs, the console sends a MIDI mes-
sage to the 480R that automatically recalls the appropriate DriveRack input channel.
The console’s AFL buttons then function as additional fixed hotkeys for the 480R’s pre-
crossover EQ. For a graphical representation of the this function, please see Figure 1.
The procedure for using this function is as follows:
• To use the MIDI AFL functions of the DriveRack, use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable
to connect the MIDI OUT port of the mixing console to the MIDI IN port of the
480R DriveRack. The Soundcraft consoles require a return MIDI cable from the
MIDI output of the 480R.
• Enable MIDI AFL using Encoder 2 in the 480R’s Utility Page 4. This parameter
allows the user to select the console type being used. Options includes: Off,
A&H (Allen & Heath™ ML 4000 and 5000), and SCraft (SoundCraft™ Series 5
Monitor and SM20).
• Each AFL button can be mapped to any input on a DriveRack unit. For exam-
ple, console output channel 1 AFL recalls the pre-crossover EQ of the Master’s
(Box 0) Channel 1, console output channel 2 AFL recalls the pre-crossover EQ
of the Master’s Channel 2, while console output channel 5 AFL recalls the pre-
crossover EQ of Box 1 Channel 1.
Any variation of this AFL MIDI mapping setup can be achieved on page 5 of the
Utility menu. The procedure is as follows:
1.Use Parameter 1 knob to select the AFL channel.
2.Use the Parameter 2 knob select the corresponding unit ID, and the
Parameter 3 knob selects the input channel of that unit.
