[. . . ] to solo both sides of a stereo mix press both solo switches at the same time. Alternatively the SOLO ADD MODE switch on the MONITOR module can be used to defeat the auto cancelling and allow multiple channel monitoring. In this mode input channel solos have priority over the matrix solos and will temporarily override them. When the input solos are cancelled the matrix solos will be active again. solo solo 10 The MATRIX faders give continuous adjustment of the matrix output levels from + 10dB to off. 5 0 5 10 20 30 40 dB matrix MIDAS HS0041 31 Automation assign keys mode switches lock a u t o 1 2 3 4 5 f a s t s c e n e automation system store midi system insert delete copy vca 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 check cancel confirm mute fader m u 6 7 8 9 10 act act/scene c/o down scene up virtual fader recall mode t e last now next a b s s MIDAS 32 Assignment Control The LOCK switch will toggle state each time it is pressed. When the LOCK switch is illuminated all assignment changes are disabled and virtual fader operation is locked (either on or off). The console will automatically revert to a locked state if no assignment controls are operated within a 90 second period. The VCA, MUTE and FADER switches set the current assignment/display mode for the fader tray LED's. As a default these switches interlock so that only one mode can be viewed at a time. However if Mute and VCA are pressed down for more than 0. 5 second the interlock is removed. If the console is in VCA or MUTE mode, the ASSIGN KEYS can be used to change settings for input VCA assignment or automute assignment in conjunction with the SET switch on each channel as follows:To enter ASSIGNMENT mode first press the LOCK switch (to un-lock the assignment system). Press the ASSIGN KEYS to set up the required group number or numbers; a long press will allow multiple assignment where as a short press will clear the previous settings. Press the SET switch on the input channels to which the assignment is required. Again there are two ways to do this; a long press will remove all prior settings on the input and replace them with the new assignment; a short press will toggle the state of any switches within the assignment set up. Pressing the input SET switch will cause that channel to toggle the number one and two assignments for the channel either from off to on or visa versa. To switch the assign keys off simply press the ones that are illuminated which will toggle them off. In this mode operating an input SET switch with a long press will clear all the VCA and /or automute assignments. press VCA mode to clear VCA's, press MUTE mode to clear automutes, or use a long press to activate both VCA and MUTE mode for simultaneous clearing. assign keys mode switches lock vca 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 mute fader virtual fader recall mode a b The VIRTUAL FADER switch enables the operation of the virtual fader system. The virtual fader system can only be active if the console is unlocked to RECALL, STORE or higher. The A/B switch selects which micro card is controlling the console assignment and automation systems. At the point of change over there is no defined control of the faders within the fader tray and output levels will change. The A/B switch should there for be treated with the same cautions used at console power up/down. For reliability the assignment and automation systems are 100% duplicated. The LED's indicate the status of each system in the following manner:LED green indicates which system is active LED off indicates which system is inactive LED red indicates that a system is damaged or not responding and that a service engineer must be called as soon as possible. 33 Snapshot Automation System Snapshots can be stored in the automation system as ACTs or SCENEs.

Note When a console is in slave mode CONS is the only item of the SYSTEM menu that can be accessed. If a slave console is reconfigured to be a master it will automatically make the original master console a slave when the CONFIRM button is pressed. 47 48 Cable Specification H1000 / H2000 / H3000 Qty Manufacturers' Reference KT Part No. [. . . ]
