Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)
You can use the faders on the top panel to adjust signals that are sent from all input channels to a specific
MIX/MATRIX bus.
1.
Make sure that an output port is assigned to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you
want to send signals, and that your monitor system, external effect, or other device
is connected to the corresponding output port.
2.
In the Function Access Area, press the SENDS ON FADER button.
The CL series unit will switch to SENDS ON FADER mode. The faders in the Channel Strip
section and Master section will move to the send levels of the signals that are routed from each
channel to the currently-selected MIX/MATRIX bus. The [ON] keys will also change to the SEND
ON status.
If you’ve used the bank select keys to assign input channels to the Centralogic section, the
corresponding channels will change to indicating the send levels and ON settings for the signals
sent from those channels to the currently selected MIX/MATRIX bus. If the Centralogic section
has been assigned to output channels, and the send-destination bus is MIX, each channel will still
show the fader value and ON setting. If the send-destination bus is MATRIX, the Centralogic
section will change to show the send level and ON setting for the signals sent from the MIX/
STEREO/MONO channels to the currently selected MATRIX bus. MATRIX channels will
continue showing the channel fader values and ON setting.
In SENDS ON FADER mode, the Function Access Area in the display will show the buttons that
enable you to switch between MIX1-16 ON FADER mode and MIX17-24/MATRIX ON FADER
mode, and the buttons that enable you to select the destination MIX/MATRIX buses.
3.
Press the MIX1-16, MIX17-24/MATRIX switch button repeatedly to select MIX1-16
or MIX17-24/MATRIX.
In this way, you can use the MIX/MATRIX bus select buttons to specify the destination MIX/
MATRIX buses.
4.
Use the MIX/MATRIX bus selection buttons in the Function Access Area to select
the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus.
NOTE
• Alternatively, press a SEND LEVEL knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to display a
popup window from which you can select a MIX/MATRIX bus.
• You can also select a MIX/MATRIX bus by using the Bank Select keys and the [SEL] keys in the
Centralogic section. If you select the buses by pressing the [SEL] keys, the setting of the MIX1-
16, MIX17-24/MATRIX switch button will be changed automatically.
• If you press the currently-selected MIX/MATRIX bus select button again, cue monitoring will be
turned on for the related MIX/MATRIX channel. This method is convenient if you want to monitor
a signal that is being sent to the selected MIX/MATRIX bus.
5.
Use the faders in the Channel Strip section on the top panel to adjust the send level
of signals routed from the input channels to the selected MIX/MATRIX bus.
NOTE
You can assign the SENDS ON FADER function to a USER DEFINED key. This lets you quickly
switch to SENDS ON FADER mode for a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, and quickly switch back
again.
6.
Repeat steps 4–5 to adjust the send level for other MIX/MATRIX buses in the same
way.
7.
When you have finished adjusting the MIX/MATRIX send levels, press the “x”
symbol in the Function Access Area.
The Function Access Area display will return to its prior state, and the CL console will exit SENDS
ON FADER mode and return to normal mode.
