Input Channels and Faders
Inputs include Input Channels and FX Returns. Each input
strip provides level faders, solo, mute, and Select switches, two
rotary encoders (with selectable functions), Bus Assign LEDs
(routing indicators), as well as display LCDs and status LEDs.
Bank Clip Indicator
The Bank Clip Indicator lights to indicate a meter clip on an
Input Channel or FX Return at the corresponding position in
an alternate bank of channels. This indicator obeys the same
clipping threshold display rules as the Input Channel meters
(as set in the Options > Interaction page). It gives you an indi-
cation of extreme signal level in a currently hidden
(“off-bank”) layer.
Safe
Automation Safe or Solo Safe
The Safe switch controls either an input strip’s Automation
safe status or Solo safe status, depending on the current Input
Safe Switch setting. See “Input Safe Switches” on page 47.
Pressing a channel Safe switch toggles the current state of that
channel as follows:
Auto Safe Mode If the Safe LED is lit, the channel will not re-
spond to Snapshot-driven changes. If the LED is off, that
channel will respond to any applicable changes driven by
Snapshots.
Solo Safe Mode If the Safe LED is flashing, the channel will
not respond to solo commands (it will not be muted if an-
other channel’s solo button is pressed). If the LED is off, that
channel will be silenced when soloing another channel.
