N1 SOLO-IN-PLACE (SIP). Use this switch to

put the console into SIP mode. Nothing happens if

you press the switch by itself. You need to first hold

down the SHIFT key M9 and then press the

switch. It flashes to warn that the console is in SIP

mode. The channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs D3 light to

show which channels are solo safe.

Exit SIP mode and return to normal console mode

by pressing the switch again. You do not need to

hold down shift.

P3 CLEAR ALL. In normal console mode this

switch provides the PFL/AFL clear all function. In

SIP mode press this to clear all selected solo

channels and restore the full mix. After clearing the

solo mix the console remains in SIP mode, armed

and ready for the next solo selection.

Pressing the switch again restores the last solo mix.

This lets you toggle between the solo mix and full

mix to compare the sound.

The CLEAR ALL switch lights as soon as a channel

is soloed indicating that there is a solo to clear.

M1 EDIT SAFES. In normal console mode this

switch provides the edit automation safes function.

In SIP mode press this to edit the solo safes. The

red LED flashes together with the SIP switch to

indicate solo rather than automation safes editing.

M7 RECALL. Used with the SHIFT key in edit

solo safes mode this lets you turn off (clear) or turn

on (set) all channels solo safes.

Solo Safes Explained

Solo-in-place works by muting all channels except

the one or more you want to solo. This affects input

and output channels. Of course, you need to hear

the soloed channel through one or more of the

outputs. For this reason the solo safes function lets

you select which outputs you do not want muted

during solo.

You may also want to solo a channel and hear it

together with any effects which may have been

applied. To do this, the channels used for the

effects returns should not be muted during solo.

Select these channels solo safe as well.

The default setting is all inputs affected by solo and

all outputs made safe. Using edit safes you can

change this at any time. The safe settings are not

lost when power is removed.

Making a Channel Solo Safe

From SIP mode press EDIT SAFES M1 . The red

LED flashes together with the SIP switch. Now

press the mute switches on the channels you want

to make safe or restore to solo-in-place. The

channel SAFE/EDIT LED lights if the channel is

safe. Press EDIT SAFES again to return SIP mode,

or press the SIP switch to exit solo and return to

normal mode.

To clear all channels made solo safe

It is useful to be able to clear all safes when you are

starting a new session. This can be done without

having to check each channel individually.

While in edit safes mode, hold down SHIFT M9

and press RECALL M7 . The recall switch flashes

and the display flashes CLr. Release shift and

press RECALL again to confirm. All channel

SAFE/EDIT LEDs turn off indicating that all safes

are cleared.

To make all channels solo safe

You may want to use solo to affect just a few

channels. In this case you can start by making all

channels safe and then remove those you want to

be affected.

While in edit mode, hold down SHIFT M9 and

press RECALL M7 two times until the display

flashes SEt. Release shift and press RECALL

again to confirm. All channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs turn

on indicating that all channels are safe.

Using Solo-In-Place

Hold down SHIFT M9 and press the SIP switch

N1 . The switch flashes to warn that the console is

armed ready to solo. You can see which channels

are solo safe displayed on the SAFE/EDIT LEDs.

Nothing happens until you press a channel MUTE

switch. That channel remains on while all other

channels except for those made solo safe are

muted. You can add or remove channels from the

solo mix as you check the sound. When you

remove the last soloed channel the full mix is

automatically restored.

You can edit the solo safes at any time while in SIP

mode by selecting the EDIT SAFES function. To

clear the solo mix and restore the full mix press the

CLEAR ALL key P3 . You can either start a new

solo mix or press the CLEAR ALL key again to

restore the last solo mix. This lets you toggle

between solo and full to compare the sound, ideal

for checking the contribution selected channels are

making to the overall sound.

When you have finished soloing the channels

simply press the SIP switch again to restore normal

console operation.
