Small Faders as Additional Auxiliary Sends
In spite of being provided with six mono and one stereo Auxiliary/FX sends, there
may be occasions, particularly in complex mixdown situations, where you need to be
able to access large numbers of different FX devices. The SL9000 has an innovative
auxiliary send reassign system which can provide up to 56 extra aux send busses. See
Page 2- 25 for more details.
In addition, as those who have previously used an SL4000 will know, Small Faders
and the Multitrack Routing Matrix can also be used to derive additional effects sends
from each channel.
The channel signal can be picked up and fed to the Small Fader by selection of either
the PRE LF or P(O)ST LF buttons (see opposite) which are located to the right of the
Small Fader. In MIX status, the Small Fader pan feeds the Routing Matrix by default.
Select an appropriate multitrack bus on the Routing Matrix which in turn will take the
feed to the associated Group Output. Patching from there to the effects device input
completes the chain. The level of this send can, of course, be automated.
Note that selection of PRE LF normally feeds a post-processing, pre-fader signal to the
Small Fader; an internal link may be optionally set to derive this signal pre-processing.
When setting up for a mix, it’s useful to patch from Group Outputs into the inputs of
all the studio effects devices (apart from the primary reverbs and delays, which are
usually fed from the dedicated sends). For example, you might patch delay lines to
Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, extra reverbs to 5, 6, 7 etc.
Any channel can then access the input of the reverb connected to Group 7 via either
the FX Reassign System (see Page 2-25) or by selecting the PST LF button (for a post-
fader feed) and selecting 7 on the Routing Matrix. The send level will be controlled by
the (automated) Small Fader. Where several channels are being fed to the same reverb,
the overall send level can be controlled by the Bus Trim control on Module 7.
