MASTER PAN • Assigns all applicable channel V-Pots to act as pan controls (channels 1-72 and 81-88). • Stays lit continuously until an Aux Select, Level to Tape, or Digital Trim button is engaged. MASTER SOLO (Aux) • Solos the currently selected Aux. • Only one Aux can be soloed at a time. • Master solo can be active at the same time a channel is soloed. • Aux bus remains soloed until it is manually disengaged or until the CLEAR SOLO button is pressed. • Solo level is post the MASTER V-Pot. • Master Solo is not affected by the PFL or AFL Solo status selected in the Studio/Solo section. V-Pot Assign Section These buttons: • Assign the channel V-Pots to control individual aux send levels. • Assign the channel V-Pots to control individual channel trim or tracking output levels. 1-24 LEVEL TO TAPE 1-48 DIGITAL TRIM AUX 1 AUX 2 AUX 3 AUX 4 AUX 5 AUX 6 AUX 7 AUX 8 AUX 9-10 PAN AUX 11-12 PAN AUX 1-8 Buttons (Default Operation) This description highlights the default configuration for aux sends and effects returns. Keep in mind that the new D8B plug-in architecture provides maximum flexibility and awesome creative capabilities with respect to plug-ins, aux sends, and returns. • Pressing any Aux 1-8 assigns channel V-Pots to control individual send levels to AUX 1-8 output. • Each Aux 1-8 is simultaneously routed to the corresponding 1/4" jack on the rear of the console and to an internal effects processor. • Patching from the Aux 1-8 jacks does not interrupt the signal flow to the internal processors. • Each Aux 1-8 acts as a mono send to a stereo internal effects processor (MFX card only). UFX cards offer complete flexibility. • Auxes patched to the IVL Vocal Studio effects return to four channels, either in stereo pairs (second pair is the reverb return) or as four separate channels. AUX 9-10 and 11-12 • Configured differently than Auxes 1-8. • Each channel has a stereo pair of controls: one level and one pan. This is ideal for phones/cue mixes or for an additional recording feed in a live setting. • Pressing Aux 9-10 assigns the channel V-Pot to control the send level for the stereo pair. • Pressing Pan under Aux 9-10 assigns the channel V-Pot to adjust pan positioning between the stereo pair. • Aux 9-10 are not routed to the internal effects processor by default, but may be assigned as such in the plug-in configuration window. • Aux 11-12 operates identically to Aux 9-10. LEVEL TO TAPE • Level to Tape assigns the channel V-Pots as tape output level controls via the I/O cards. • This control is post channel DSP and prefader. Fader adjustments don't affect tape output levels. • Facilitates optimizing the gain structure from the beginning to the end of the signal path, when used correctly. • When Faders to Tape is active (in the Options menu), the level to tape is controlled by the source channel faders.
