Autocancel Behaviour
In the majority of cases in live sound mixing, only one channel is soloed at any time, so it has become
common practice for solos to ‘autocancel’ so that pressing any solo cancels the previous one, and only
one solo can be ON at any time. This speeds up operation by eliminating the need to switch solos off
before soloing the next channel. The Soundcraft Vi Series™ includes an optimised version of this system,
allowing solos to autocancel in normal operation, but also allowing the operator to select multiple solos at
once if required.
Input Priority OFF
* Pressing any single Input or Output Solo will cancel any other active Solo of either type.
* If an Input or Output Solo is pressed and held (whether already active or not), then one or
more other Solos are also pressed, the autocancel behaviour is bypassed, and multiple Solos
can be selected. Input Solos can change from PFL to AFL in this case if the AUTO mode is
selected for input solos, in the Monitor Setup page. Pressing any Solo after the rst Solo is
released will cancel all the active Solos.
Input Priority ON
* Pressing any single Input Solo will cancel any other active Input or VCA Solo(s), and will
temporarily override (but not cancel) any active Output Solo(s), as described above.
* Pressing any single Output Solo will cancel any other active Output Solo(s).
* The autocancelling can be defeated by holding down an Input or Output Solo and then
pressing other solos of the same type. (Pressing the ‘other’ type of solo in this condition is
ignored).
Switcahble AutoCancel Mode
The AUTO CANCL button allows an operator to choose whether to work
with additive or auto-cancelling Solo switches.
When AutoCancel is switched off, a specic channel can be left in
Solo mode to act as a return talkback feed, whilst other channels are
also soloed one by one during a line check.
