Monitor Input and Small Fader Section
Monitor Input Section
The source selected by the MONITOR INPUT SECTION is
governed by the state of the GROUP and TAPE buttons, and
the PRE LF (Large Fader) and P(O)ST buttons.
Note that the PRE LF and P(O)ST buttons override TAPE and
GROUP, but for the time being we will assume that they have
not been selected.
The GROUP and TAPE buttons serve two functions:
1. To select which input will be presented to the Monitor fader
– the GROUP signal feeding the multitrack and/or the TAPE
return from the multitrack machine.
2. To allow the large red RECORD button to function as a
Track Ready button.
Each RECORD button is connected to the corresponding
multitrack Track Ready remote, and is only ready (allowed) to
prime a track for record if either GROUP or TAPE is selected.
This acts as a safety feature to prevent accidental record
arming.
The RECORD button is engraved with the module and track
number to clearly indicate which tracks are being primed for
record. If the module RECORD button is on, then that track on
the multitrack will drop into record if the transport RECORD
button, in the centre section of the console or on the machine
itself, is pressed. Some machines allow the module RECORD
button to drop the machine directly into record whilst the
machine is running with its transport Record active. Other
machines need a fresh transport record command before a
primed track will go into record. You should check the logic of this before dropping in
for real!
