Follow Output Solo Mode
Purpose Of The Follow Output Solo Mode
The Follow Output Solo [FLW] keys allow the user to quickly identify and adjust those input channels which
are making contributions to each of the 32 outputs.
There are three [FLW] keys: there is one fader key and two Vistonics™ area keys. Only one key can be
active at any one time (none can be selected also). Their location is shown in Figure 11-11.
* If Follow Solo is NOT active for faders or Vistonics™ encoders, pressing a Group or Aux Output
Solo will activate an Output Solo, and it will also display the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen area
for the Soloed Output, on the Vistonics Output screen (in the space normally occupied by the
Input Meter display) unless the ‘Lock Meters’ switch adjacent to the Vistonics display has been
pressed.
* If Follow Solo IS active for either faders or Vistonics encoders, pressing a Group or Aux Output
Solo/Sel will work as described above, and will also switch the input channel faders or encoders
to be assigned to the Soloed bus’s contributing sends.
* If a Matrix Output Solo/Sel is pressed, regardless of the setting of Follow Solo modes, the
Output Solo will be activated, the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen for the Matrix Output displayed,
and the channel faders will be assigned to the contribution levels from the Outputs to the Soloed
Matrix Output.

Note: the lower [FLW] key has an additional function in allowing VCAs to control the Aux sends
of input channels. See chapter 9 for details.
