Configuring Solo
The Solo function is configured on the Solo Setup page. If the Auto SOLO Display prefer-
ence is on, this page appears automatically when a channel is soloed. See “Auto SOLO Dis-
play” on page 275.
1
Use the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button to locate the Solo Setup page.
2
Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
SOLO:
This is used to enable and disable the Solo function.
STATUS:
This determines the Solo mode: Recording or Mixdown.
In Recording Solo mode, soloed Input Channel signals are fed to the Solo bus and output
via the Control Room Outputs. Other buses are unaffected by this mode. If the Listen
parameter is set to AFTER PAN, the signal source for Input Channels that are off, is pre
fader.
In Mixdown Solo mode, soloed Input Channel signals are fed to the Stereo bus and output
via the Stereo Out and Control Room Outputs. Unsoloed Input Channels are muted and
their [ON] button indicators flash (unless they are Solo Safe enabled). Only Input Channels
that are routed to the Stereo Out can be soloed in this mode. Input Channels that are off are
temporarily turned on when they are soloed.
SEL MODE:
This determines the Solo Select mode: Mix Solo or Last Solo. In Mix Solo
mode, any number of channels can be soloed simultaneously. In Last Solo mode, only one
channel can be soloed at a time.
LISTEN:
This determines the source of the Input Channel Solo signal: Pre Fader or After
Pan. This parameter does not affect Mixdown Solo mode. Output Channels are fixed at
After Pan. If you select Pre Fader, turning on the PAN button below it enables you to solo
the channel with the Pan setting still applied.
SOLO TRIM:
This is used to trim the level of the Solo signal. This parameter does not
affect Mixdown Solo mode.
SOLO SAFE CHANNEL:
For Mixdown Solo mode, Input Channels can be configured
individually so that they are not muted when other Input Channels are soloed. Use the
[SEL] buttons, cursor buttons, or Parameter wheel to select the SOLO SAFE CHANNEL
buttons. Use the [ENTER] or INC/DEC buttons to set Solo Safe for each Input Channel.
These settings do not affect Recording Solo mode. You can clear all Solo Safe settings by
selecting the ALL CLEAR button and pressing [ENTER].
AUX/SOLO LINK:
When this check box is checked, you can solo or unsolo the Aux Sends
using the AUX SELECT [AUX 1]–[AUX 12] buttons without changing the Master layer.
This is convenient when you want to solo or unsolo Aux Outs while controlling the Aux
Sends from the Input Channels. Press the AUX SELECT key for the AUX send that you want
to solo, making it light. Then press that key once again to solo only the selected AUX send.
When Aux Sends are soloed, the corresponding AUX SELECT button indicators flash.
