Lower [FLW] 
Button Field / Group:  Inactive Active
Input faders follow mas-
ter bus selection.
The fader FOLLOW OUTPUT SOLO [FLW] button 
located near the bottom of the Master Bay buttons strip 
causes the input faders to become contributions to an 
output bus when its [SOLO/SEL] button is pressed (often 
known as ‘Sends on Faders mode’).
If a Matrix Output Solo/Sel is pressed, regardless of the 
setting of Follow Solo modes, the Output Solo will be 
activated, the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen for the Matrix 
Output displayed, and the channel faders will be as-
signed to the contribution levels from the Outputs to the 
Soloed Matrix Output.
Note: the lower [FLW] key has an additional function 
in allowing VCAs to control the Aux sends of input 
channels. See the Mute & VCA reference chapter 9 for 
details.
