4 - The PatchMix DSP Mixer Mixer Strip Creation Level, Pan, Solo & Mute Controls Pan Controls Aux Send Amount Controls Level Control Mute & Solo Buttons Scribble Strip The Pan control comes before the Level Control and Aux Sends in the signal flow. On stereo strips we use an unconventional pan section with two pan pots - one for the left part of the signal and one for the right part of the signal. This feature allows you to independently position both sides of the stereo signal. A conventional stereo balance control only allows you to turn down one side or the other. The Mute button does just what you would expect-press the button and the sound from that channel is cut off. Pressing the Solo button while the Mute button is pressed allows you to hear the channel until solo is turned off. The Solo button allows you to listen to only that channel while muting the rest of the inputs. If multiple solo buttons are pressed, you will hear all soloed channels and the non-soloed channels will all be muted. The mute status is remembered if a muted channel is soloed. When the channel solo is turned off, the channel reverts to being muted. The Level Control for the strip is an attenuation control that can also provide up to +12dB of gain. 0db is the unity gain setting. You can also type numeric values into the displays to set the level. At the very bottom is the Scribble Strip text area, into which you can type any short piece of text, thus naming the strip, i.e. "vocals", "bass", "drums" and so on. E-MU PCIe Digital Audio Systems 49
