User Dened Output Fader Pages
With previous software versions on the Vi consoles, the Output Faders
in the centre section of the console have only been accessible via 4
‘xed’ fader pages A,B,C,&D, with two xed VCA fader pages under
‘VCA’ and ‘E’. Version 4.0 software unlocks the page buttons A – E
and allows exible congurations of Output busses and VCA Masters
on any of the pages. (The ‘VCA’ page remains xed and is dedicated
to VCAs 1-8).
Although most users are quite happy with the xed fader pages on
outputs, because it’s generally easy to nd things when they run in
banks of 8, there are two primary reasons why this new functionality
is useful:
* Being able to combine VCA masters alongside audio bus masters
in the same fader page. This would be useful if you had a VCA that
was controlling several outputs for example.
* Being able to ‘drop’ one side of Stereo bus masters from a Fader
Page in order to allow more Stereo outputs to be controlled at the
same time.
The second of these benets will be particularly useful for monitor
engineers, who will now be able to control up to 8 stereo mixes at
the same time without having to change fader page.
