Automation fader OFF When this option is
active (checked), in automation mode, when the
automated mix is being read (played back), the fad-
ers do not move.
Balance Level CENTER:0dB When two chan-
nels are linked together as a stereo pair, the pan con-
trols change to a balance control. In the center
position, the level may either be set to 0dB (checked)
or a 3dB cut (unchecked).
AUX Mute follows CH Mute When this is
checked, Aux sends from a channel are muted when
the channel is muted.
Encoder Mode Follows Current Screen
This option switches the encoder function automati-
cally (see “Encoders” on page 22) when a relevant
screen (e.g. an aux send global screen) is selected.
Current Screen Follows Encoder Mode
The converse of the previous option; when the
encoder mode is changed, the appropriate screen is
shown.
It is possible to have both this and the previous
option active at the same time.
BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN When checked,
and the
BUSS PAN mode is ON, this option allows the
stereo pan channel control to control the balance
between the odd and even busses. No effect in sur-
round mode.
BUSS Link/BUSS PAN Mode are Linked
When this is checked, the buss links and the buss pan
modes (in the modules) are automatically linked
together.
SOLO
The solo modes on the DM-4800 can be set up in a
number of different ways using this screen:
MODE SELECT Either Mix Solo or Exclusive Solo can
be selected here. The
Mix Solo mode allows a number
of channels (that is, all whose
SOLO keys are lit in
solo mode) to have their outputs added together to
the solo mix. The
Exclusive Solo mode only allows one
channel (the one whose
SOLO key was pressed last)
to be soloed at one time.
SOLO LINK This option allows the fader and mute
groups to be used with the solo function. This is
explained more fully in the solo part of the section
describing monitoring. Briefly, if one of the group
options (
MUTE GROUP or FADER GROUP ) is enabled,
selecting a group master module solos or unsolos the
whole of the group. If a group slave module is
selected, the solo status of only that slave module is
affected.
SOLO TYPE There are three options that may be
selected here:
PFL (pre-fader listen), AFL (after- or
post-fader listen) and
INPLACE SOLO . Briefly; the PFL
option provides a way of listening to the signal
before it is sent through the panpot and fader. The
stereo outputs are unaffected (soloing is only done
through the
CR and STUDIO monitor outputs). An
AFL selection will output the post-fader signal from
the selected channels through the monitoring system.
By contrast, soloing a channel in the
Inplace Solo mode
monitors the soloed signal(s) via the stereo and buss
outputs while all the other signals are cut from the
stereo and buss outputs.
INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT This option is a defeat
option to prevent channels selected in this way from
being muted when other channels are soloed. It can
be used with a pair of effect returns, for instance, so
that these effect returns will always be added in the
inplace mix, together with those other channels
selected for inplace soloing. Inplace soloing will out-
put the soloed channel(s) from the stereo outputs,
and cut all other channels. Use the cursor keys (or
channel
SEL key) to highlight a channel, and the
ENTER key to change the status of the INPLACE SOLO
DEFEAT
setting.
