Chapter 10: Aux Sends and Variable Groups
This chapter explains the following Aux Sends operations:
• Configuring Aux Send busses
• Routing to Aux Sends
• Adjusting Aux Send parameters
• Managing Auxes
Configuring Aux and Variable Group
Busses
Up to 16 Aux busses are available. The number of available
Aux busses is set as part of the overall Aux/Group bus config-
uration. (See “Configuring Aux, Group, and Variable Group
Busses” on page 78.)
When the system is set to Variable Groups mode, the 8 Group
busses are replaced by Varia ble Group busses, which operate in
much the same way as Aux busses. When set to Variable
Groups mode (Var Groups), the 16 Aux and 8 Variable Group
busses provide up to 24 busses.
Auxes can be mono, or linked to form stereo pairs. Auxes and
Variable Group busses can be fed by input channels and FX re-
turns, and can be assigned to hardware outputs in the Patch-
bay. Aux Send level controls provide a gain range of –INF to
+12 dB.
Linking Aux and Variable Group Busses for
Stereo Operation
When working with Aux/Var Group busses, you can link
odd/even bus pairs and pan input signals into those bus pairs.
To link Aux or Var Group bus pairs:
1 Put the system into Config mode.
2 Go to the Options page and click the Busses tab.
3 Click Edit.
4 Click the checkboxes above any of the bus pairs to link or
unlink each pair.
5 Click Apply.
When busses are linked, signals are handled as follows:
Mono Input Signals Contributing mono signals are panned
across the linked odd/even bus pair.
• When the Follows Channel Pan option is off, panning of
the mono signal to the bus pair is controlled by the Aux
Pan control (the even-numbered send).
• When the Follows Channel Pan option is on, the pan in-
formation from each mono input channel determines its
pan position in the bus pair.
Stereo Input Signals Contributing stereo signals are panned
across the linked odd/even bus pair. Stereo width information
from the input channel is applied to the bus signal.
• When the Follows Channel Pan option is off, balance of
the stereo signal to the bus pair is controlled by the Aux
Pan control.
• When the Follows Channel Pan option is on, the balance
from each stereo input channel determines its contribu-
tion to the odd and even sides of the bus pair.
