CREATING A GROUP MIX
There are four methods of creating group mixes from the input channels to the (up to 24) group buses.
Method 1: Channel Mode. Select an input channel and route its sends to the group buses as required
(the user sets up the mix from an input bay).
Proceed as follows:
Press the 1-12 or 13-14 Channel Mode button on the input bay. The 12 centre encoders on the
input bay are now acting as routing switches (press ON/press OFF) to Groups 1-12 or 13-24.
Select the input channel by selecting the appropriate INPUT FADER SELECT button A-D and then
the SEL button of the required channel.
Pressing the encoder toggles the send on and off: the green ‘ON’ lamp below the encoder shows
the status.
Method 2: Global Mode. Select an output bus and adjust the feeds to it from a bank of input channels
(the user sets up the mix from an input bay).
Select the output bus required by pressing the BUS 1-8, BUS 9-16 or BUS 17-24 button on
the Global Mode section of the input bay, then use the SCROLL Up or Down button to get to the
required bus. The bus name is shown it the top of every input channel display window in the bay.
Each input channel encoder is now a routing switch from its input channel to the chosen output
bus as described above for method 1.
Method 3: Select an input channel and route its sends to the group buses as required.
Proceed as follows:
Press the BUS SENDS button in the BOTH ROWS set on the Output section. The encoders are
now routing controls (press on/press off) which switch the signal from a selected input channel
to the group buses.
By using the appropriate INPUT FADERS SELECT buttons A-D, and then the SEL button of the
required input channel, the required input channel can be selected.
The input channels’ faders or their associated encoders can be used as the send level controls.
Press FADERS (FOLLOW OUTPUT SEL) on one or both input bays (Si2 has only one bay). Note
that as soon as you engage this the FADERS in the “follow” bay in question become the Aux
sends from the channels to the SELected bus. The FaderGlow element will turn yellow to conrm
this.
Use the INPUT FADERS SELECT buttons A-D as required to access all of the input channels.
To exit this mode press ENCODERS (FOLLOW OUTPUT SEL) or FADERS (FOLLOW OUTPUT SEL)
again to deselect it.
