BUS CONFIGURATION
The most important conguration of the Soundcraft Vi Series™ is the bus conguration, and this is done
using the [ALL BUSSES] view on the four input bays.
Figure 3-5: The Input Screen If [ALL BUSSES] Layer Is Active.
The TYPE eld can be set to one of three values: AUX, GRP or MTX, the encoder is used to change the Bus
Type. If Aux is selected and if the format eld, see below, is set to stereo then the {CHPAN} eld enables
the stereo Aux send signal to follow channel pan, rather than have its own pan control.
The FORMAT eld (only odd busses) is available for Aux and Grp busses. The eld can be set to Mono or
Stereo. The Encoder changes the setting of the Audio Format eld. If the eld is set to stereo the next even
numbered bus will not be shown.
In the ALL BUSSES Layer, all 32 Busses are shown from left to right on the four input bays on the Vi6. i.e.,
Bus 1 is mapped to the left-most strip, while bus 32 is mapped to the right-most strip of the Control Sur-
face (For Vi4, 24 busses will be shown, access other busses via the masters or output meter screen).
Vi Series supports the following Bus Types:
· AUX Mono
· AUX Stereo
· Group Mono
· Group Stereo
· Matrix Mono
