Sending signals from MIX channels and STEREO/MONO channels to MATRIX buses 3 Use the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section keys to select the send-destination MATRIX bus. Only the LED of the corresponding key will blink, indicating that it is selected as the send-destination. 4 Press the same key of the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section once again. The key will change from lit to blinking, and the LEDs of the remaining keys in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section will light. This indicates that the LS9 is now in SENDS ON FADER mode, allowing you to use the faders to control the send levels to the MIX bus / MATRIX bus. In SENDS ON FADER mode, the faders and [ON] keys of the channel module section will change their operation as follows. ● Faders The faders will adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to the currently selected MATRIX bus. When you switch from normal mode to SENDS ON FADER mode, the fader positions will move to the value of the send levels to the currently selected MATRIX bus. ● [ON] keys These keys will function as on/off switches for the signal sent from each channel to the currently selected MATRIX bus. When you switch from normal mode to SENDS ON FADER mode, the [ON] keys will light or go dark according to the on/off status of the signals being sent to the currently selected MATRIX bus. ● [SEL] keys The [SEL] key of the selected channel will blink, and the [SEL] keys of channels that are not selected will light. However, the [SEL] keys of unassigned modules will go dark. 5 Use the channel module faders to adjust the send levels from the channels to the MATRIX bus you selected in step 3. As necessary, switch fader layers to access the layer that contains the desired send-source channel. 6 To switch the on/off status of a signal sent to the MATRIX bus, press the top panel [ON] key. If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo, on/off operations will be linked for the signal sent to the two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MATRIX buses. NOTE • While SENDS ON FADER mode is active with a MATRIX bus as the send-destination, the faders/encoders and [ON] keys of input channels will be disabled. If you want to operate an input channel, you must first disable the above SENDS ON FADER mode. 7 Repeat steps 3-6 to adjust the send level and switch the on/off status for other MATRIX buses in the same way. 8 When you've finished setting the MATRIX send levels, press the key that is currently blinking in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section. The LS9 will return to normal mode. HINT • You can assign the SENDS ON FADER function to a userdefined key. This allows you quickly switch to SENDS ON FADER mode for a specific MATRIX bus, or quickly return to the previous state. • You can also use the [HOME] key to cancel SENDS ON FADER mode. 6 Output channel operations In SENDS ON FADER mode (when the send-destination is a MATRIX bus), the STEREO MASTER module will operate differently depending on the selected fader layer. Fader layer 1-16 {1-32}/17-32 {33-64} MASTER/ CUSTOM FADER Function Send-destination MATRIX channel module [SEL] key, [CUE] key: STEREO channel [ON] key, fader: Adjust the on/off status and send level of signals sent to MATRIX buses NOTE • If you switch the fader layer from 1-16 {1-32}, 17-32 {33-64}, or CUSTOM FADER to MASTER while in SENDS ON FADER mode (when the send-destination is a MATRIX bus), SENDS ON FADER mode will be cancelled. • You cannot operate the fader or [ON] key of a channel that is not a send-source (a channel that does not have a MATRIX SEND parameter) or of a channel that is not a send-destination bus master.

Sending signals from MIX channels and STEREO/MONO channels to MATRIX buses

Output channel operations

LS9-16/32

Owner’s Manual

Use the MIX/MATRIX SELECT section keys

to select the send-destination MATRIX bus.

Only the LED of the corresponding key will blink,

indicating that it is selected as the send-destination.

Press the same key of the MIX/MATRIX

SELECT section once again.

The key will change from lit to blinking, and the LEDs

of the remaining keys in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT

section will light. This indicates that the LS9 is now in

SENDS ON FADER mode, allowing you to use the

faders to control the send levels to the MIX bus /

MATRIX bus.

In SENDS ON FADER mode, the faders and [ON]

keys of the channel module section will change their

operation as follows.

●

Faders

The faders will adjust the send level of the signal sent

from each channel to the currently selected MATRIX

bus. When you switch from normal mode to SENDS

ON FADER mode, the fader positions will move to the

value of the send levels to the currently selected

MATRIX bus.

●

[ON] keys

These keys will function as on/off switches for the sig-

nal sent from each channel to the currently selected

MATRIX bus. When you switch from normal mode to

SENDS ON FADER mode, the [ON] keys will light or

go dark according to the on/off status of the signals

being sent to the currently selected MATRIX bus.

●

[SEL] keys

The [SEL] key of the selected channel will blink, and

the [SEL] keys of channels that are not selected will

light. However, the [SEL] keys of unassigned modules

will go dark.

Use the channel module faders to adjust

the send levels from the channels to the

MATRIX bus you selected in step 3.

As necessary, switch fader layers to access the layer

that contains the desired send-source channel.

To switch the on/off status of a signal sent

to the MATRIX bus, press the top panel [ON]

key.

If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo,

on/off operations will be linked for the signal sent to

the two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered

MATRIX buses.

Repeat steps 3–6 to adjust the send level

and switch the on/off status for other

MATRIX buses in the same way.

When you’ve ﬁnished setting the MATRIX

send levels, press the key that is currently

blinking in the MIX/MATRIX SELECT sec-

tion.

The LS9 will return to normal mode.

In SENDS ON FADER mode (when the send-destina-

tion is a MATRIX bus), the STEREO MASTER mod-

ule will operate differently depending on the selected

fader layer.

•

While SENDS ON FADER mode is active with a MATRIX bus

as the send-destination, the faders/encoders and [ON] keys

of input channels will be disabled. If you want to operate an

input channel, you must ﬁrst disable the above SENDS ON

FADER mode.

•

You can assign the SENDS ON FADER function to a user-

deﬁned key. This allows you quickly switch to SENDS ON

FADER mode for a speciﬁc MATRIX bus, or quickly return to

the previous state.

•

You can also use the [HOME] key to cancel SENDS ON

FADER mode.

HINT

•

If you switch the fader layer from 1-16 {1-32}, 17-32 {33-64},

or CUSTOM FADER to MASTER while in SENDS ON FADER

mode (when the send-destination is a MATRIX bus), SENDS

ON FADER mode will be cancelled.

•

You cannot operate the fader or [ON] key of a channel that is

not a send-source (a channel that does not have a MATRIX

SEND parameter) or of a channel that is not a send-destina-

tion bus master.
