Solid State Logic Matrix 2 User Manual

MonOpt Soft Keys
The
MonOpt
menu in the SSL soft keys is used to configure the solo monitoring:
SIP and AFL
B
y default,
&
""
b
uttons are destructive, muting all channels not solo enabled. This means that channel sends (both CHOP’s
and aux sends) sourced from the input or pre-fader signal remain unaffected by solos, but are affected when sourced post fader,
along with the feeds to the
+ and % busses. This is known as Solo-In-Place (SIP), which is the default channel solo mode.
However, if the
InpCu
option in the
Misc
soft key menu is enabled (see Page 44), pre fader sends will also mute when a
solo mute is received.
Pressing the
AFL
button switches the solo buttons to be non-destructive, by routing the post channel, post pan signal to a
separate stereo mix bus, leaving the existing bus feeds and post fader sends unaffected by the &"" button, with only the main
monitoring being affected.
Note that in AFL mode, the (' buttons do not light when a &"" buton is selected, indicating that the soloing is not
affecting other channels’ outputs.
Mom and Alt
By default, solo buttons ‘latch’, meaning that when one channel is in solo, pressing a second &"" button adds that channel to
the first rather than cancelling the original channel.
Pressing
Mom
(‘momentary’) causes the &"" buttons to deactivate when released. They therefore need to be held down in
order to remain in solo mode. More than one button can be held down simultaneously.
Pressing
Alt
prevents the &"" buttons from latching, introducing an intercancellation between &"" buttons: pressing a
second &"" button cancels the first &"". More than one channel can still be put in solo mode by simultaneously pressing
multiple &"" buttons.
When in
Alt
or
Mon
mode, press the currently selected mode button to return to default (latch) mode.
Note that these options affect the channel strip solo buttons, not the centre section AFLs which are always in latch mode.
Also note that in order for the fader or (' and &"" buttons to affect the analogue signal, Matrix must be in Analogue
Focus mode (or in DAW Focus mode with !! active and the relevant channel swapped - see Page 76).
When the
Sub0dB
button is lit, the LFE channel is attenuated by 10dB. This is a requirement when mixing for SACD or any
other format that requires unity gain on the LFE channel.
TBLatch
will change the operation of the %'&' talkback button from momentary to latching.
