AFL, PFL and the SOLO MASTER Section
ORIGIN has a comprehensive and exible After Fade Listen, Pre Fade Listen (AFL/PFL) and Solo In Place (SIP) system. With no
options selected, the SOLO switches in the console channel strips activate the AFL function, i.e. they send the selected path to the
stereo AFL bus and the monitoring switches to output the AFL bus. The benet of this approach is two fold, it is non-destructive,
i.e. any paths being used to track or mix will not be Cut by the use of the Solo switch, and also it allows the selected path, or paths
to be listened to against the Mix Bus signal, using the IN FRONT BALANCE control.
SF SIP (Solo In Place), LF SIP, SUBGRP SIP and SOLO LINK
If a destructive Solo would be preferred to AFL, then the SIP (Solo In Place) switches are used to link the Solo and Cut actions.
These SIP functions are split into separate options for the Large Fader (LF SIP), Small Fader (SF SIP) and Subgroup (SUBGRP
SIP) sections of the console. This allows the different sections to be in different modes, for example, if the Small Fader paths are
being used as sends to a recorder, it may be useful to have these in AFL mode so that a SOLO selection of any Small Fader
wouldn't CUT the send from any of the other Small Fader record paths.
The SOLO LINK switch connects together the Solo/Cut connections for both the Large Fader and Small Fader paths. SOLO LINK
active is indicated by a green LED at the intersection of the lines linking the SIP functions. For SOLO LINK to be active, both LF
SIP and SF SIP switches must be in the same mode (i.e. both pressed, or both unpressed), if one of these is not pressed, the LED
will not illuminate and SOLO LINK will not be active.
SOLO ACTIVE and SOLO CLEAR
Whenever a console SOLO or AFL function is active the yellow SOLO ACTIVE LED will illuminate. Any active SOLO or AFL
functions can be cancelled using the SOLO CLEAR switch. When this is pressed, the SOLO ACTIVE LED will extinguish.
PFL (Pre Fade Listen)
Selecting PFL will change the default After Fade Listen (AFL) mode to Pre Fade Listen, i.e. Solo'd signals will be sent Pre Fader
to the Monitoring. Switches labelled AFL (such as those in the Stereo Return section) will always be AFL and are not affected by
the PFL selection.
SOLO LEVEL
This control adjusts the level of either the AFL signal or the PFL signal (depending on whether the PFL switch is selected).
IN FRONT BALANCE
In default mode (i.e. Not SIP or PFL) Pressing a channel SOLO switch routes a mix of the AFL signal and the selected left and right
monitor sources to the monitor outputs. The IN FRONT BALANCE level control adjusts the balance between AFL signal and MIX
in the Monitors. This is useful, for example, to EQ a source in context with the Mix and not in isolation. The IN FRONT BALANCE
control is adjusted to taste to give a useful balance depending on the source being listened to.
