SoundCraft Si Series User Manual

Page 3 - 6 Soundcraft® Si Series User Guide
Pressing any of the Channel Mode buttons (see below) will activate the VCS, if it isn’t active already, and
pressing a particlar channel’s SEL button will point the VCS to that channel.
The CHANNEL MODE buttons dene what will be displayed on the VCS.
The options are as follows:
DYN
Displays the adjustment parameters for the Gate and Compressor on the VCS as shown below. Note
that the Lo and Hi Cut lters refer to lters in the gate’s side chain, not the input channel:these side-
chain lters do not appear until the GATE IN button is activated.
Note: the threshold on encoder 10 can be displayed as PK or RMS: press the encoder to toggle be-
tween the two.
EQ Displays the adjustment parameters for the 4-Band parametric EQ onto the VCS. The LF and HF bands
can be switched between shelving and bell lters by pressing their Q/shelf encoders. Each band can
be switched on/off by pressing the gain encoder.
BUS 1-12 Displays the sends from the SELected input channel to Group/Aux buses 1-12 onto the VCS. Pressing
an encoder turns the feed ON or OFF. The ON light in the encoder indicates when the feed is switched
on. Turning the encoder adjusts the send level (Aux Sends Only). In the case of stereo-paired Aux
busses the left hand encoder of a pair is used as a send level control, the right hand encoder is a pan
control. The push-on/push-off functionality is duplicated between both encoders.
Note: for fast set-up, a bus can be set to unity (0dB) by pressing and holding the encoder. This works
only if the bus was off previously.
BUS 13-24 Displays the sends from the SELected input channel to Group/Aux buses 1-12 onto the VCS. See
1-12 above. By default, buses 21 to 24 are used as sends to the LEXICON processors.
AUX PRE Works in conjunction with the 1-12 and 13-24 buttons, it allows individual Aux sends to be switched
either Pre/Post fade. Pressing the encoder, while the AUX PRE button is illuminated, switches the feed
between Pre and Post-fade. The PRE light in the encoder assembly indicates when pre-fade is se-
lected. Note that Group sends are always post-fade. Note: when the AUX PRE button is selected a bus
cannot be switched on or off by pressing the encoder. Note: buses can be congured as Auxes or as
Groups, see page 4-16.
