Selecting Aux Send and Variable Group
Pickoff Points
You can specify the pickoff point on input channels and FX
returns channels for Aux and Var Group sends. Pickoff points
are set for each bus independently. If any busses are linked,
the pickoff point is set for the linked bus pair.
Each channel can be sent to an Aux or Var Group either pre- or
post-fader. Pre-fade offers several choices of pickoff.
Pre-EQ Post-HPF and pre-EQ, Dynamics and Channel Inserts,
pre-Mute, and pre-Fader. The Aux or Var Group send is not af-
fected by the channel mute.
Pre-Mute Post-HPF, post-EQ, Dynamics, and Channel Inserts,
pre-Mute, and pre-Fader. The Aux or Var Group send is not af-
fected by the channel mute.
Pre-Fader Post-HPF, post-EQ Dynamics, and Channel Inserts,
post-Mute, and pre-Fader. The Aux or Var Group send is af-
fected by the channel mute.
To set the Pre pickoff point for an Aux or Variable Group send:
1 Go to the Options page and click the Busses tab.
2 Select a Pre pickoff point for any of the busses or linked bus
pairs by clicking the Pre-EQ, Pre-Mute, or Pre-Fader button.
To activate a Pre pickoff point for an Aux or Variable Group send:
1 Go to the Inputs page and target the channel with the pick-
off point you want to activate.
2 Do any of the following:
• To activate an Aux Send Pre pickoff, click the correspond-
ing Pre button in the Aux Sends section.
– or –
• To activate a Variable Group Pre pickoff, click the Var Groups
button in the Bus Assign section to display Var Groups, then
click the corresponding Pre button.
When the Pre button is lit, the selected Pre pickoff point is
used. When the Pre button is off, the pickoff point is
Post-Fader.
Classifying Auxes for Snapshots
You can classify Aux Sends and Variable Group sends as mon-
itor sends (“Mon”) or as effects sends (“FX”) for the purposes of
scoping and safing each type separately in snapshots. See
“Classifying Aux Sends” on page 195.
Routing Inputs to Aux Busses
You can send signals from any input channel or FX return to
any number of Aux Send or Variable Group busses with the in-
put encoders, from the ACS, from the Output section, or
on-screen.
To route channels to Aux or Var Group sends using the input
encoders:
1 To access Aux Sends on the input channel encoders, press an
Encoder assign Send switch 1–2 through 15–16.
– or –
• To access Variable Groups, press the Var Groups switch in
the ACS Bus Assigns section. This displays Variable Group
Sends on the input encoders and the ACS Aux Send con-
trols.
2 For each channel you want to assign to the selected Aux
Send bus, press its channel encoder so that its “On” indicator
LED lights.
• The first press of an Aux Send encoder assigns level con-
trol of the odd-numbered send. The switch lights green
to indicate an odd-numbered selection.
• The second press of an Aux Send encoder assigns level
control of the even-numbered send. The switch lights
yellow to indicate an even-numbered selection.
3 To set the Aux Send level, do either of the following:
• Turn the encoder on each channel.
• Press the Flip to Faders switch, then adjust the channel
fader.
