The Fader Banks

There are 2 independent Fader Banks, one with 12 fader strips, the other with 8 fader strips. Each Bank

has 4 Layers. This means that the GLD-80 can work with up to 80 fader control strips.

Any strip can be assigned as an Input channel, Mix master, FX send master, FX Return, engineer’s

Wedge or IEM master, or DCA master in any combination. Strips can be left blank (unassigned). The

Template Shows provide a logical assignment of the fader strips to give you a familiar starting point.

To change the fader strip assignment use the Setup / Control / Strip Assignment screen. You can drag-

and-drop to quickly reassign the strips.

The Fader Strip keys

4 keys per strip provide quick access to important live mixing functions:

Layer select

keys A, B, C, D

Mute Turns off the channel signal. Affects the main mix and pre-fade and post-

fade sends. This is important in live mixing, for example to mute an acoustic

guitar in both the FOH mix and monitors when the musician unplugs it.

Sel Instantly selects the processing for the channel. The rotary control section

to the left of the touch screen becomes active to control the Preamp, HPF, PEQ,

Gate and Compressor for that channel.

 To see and adjust the processing using the touch screen make sure the

screen Processing key is selected.

DCA

Mix Puts the send levels and assignments of the associated channel or master

onto the fader strips. For example you can work with all the sends to one Aux

shown on the input faders by selecting its master strip Mix key. Or work with the

sends from one channel to all the Auxes shown on the master faders by

selecting the channel Mix key.

 Be aware of which Mix is currently selected. For example, when you have

finished adjusting an Aux send, press its Mix key again to turn it off and return to

the main mix. The currently selected mix is displayed in the lower left screen

toolbar.

PAFL Sends the channel PFL (pre-fade listen) or AFL (after-fade listen) signal

to the GLD headphones and monitoring system. Preferences for the PAFL

system are set using the Setup / Audio / PAFL screen.

Input PAFL overrides mix master PAFL.
