The MIX key

There are two ways to work with the mix:

Master view - Press a master MIX key to view all the sends and assignments from the inputs to that master using the channel strip faders or rotaries.

Channel view - Press an input channel MIX key to view all its sends and assignments to the masters using the master strip faders or rotaries.

Note - Make sure you are working with the correct mix. After making your adjustments remember to return to your main mix.  Turning off the MIX key automatically returns to your configured main mix.

Note - If you are working with Radio LRM main mix mode the input MIX keys become channel ON switches. The mix master MIX keys are disabled in this mode. All sends are accessed using the ROUTING screen.

 

To assign channels - Hold down the ASSIGN key while pressing the channel MIX key. To assign all on or off, hold while pressing the master MIX key. Assigned channels display ON in the strip LCD.

To change pre/post fader - Hold down the PRE/POST FADE key while pressing the channel SEL key. To toggle all pre or post, hold while pressing the master SEL key.  Channels set pre-fade display PRE in the strip LCD.

Note - Post-fader sends follow the fader level but get their source as set in the Surface ROUTING screen source option or Editor right click over the Mix key.

 

To adjust the upper rotary - For mixes that have two rotary functions, hold down the ROTARY SHIFT KEY while turning the control.

Note - You can change which function is presented on the strip rotaries in normal mode, shifted mode, or when the Alt View key is pressed. Do this from the Surface SURFACE SETUP / Alt View screen.

 

Sends on Faders or Rotaries - Choose aux and matrix sends on faders or rotary encoders.  Configure this option in the Surface  ROUTING screen after pressing SEL for each mix master.

For stereo sends, independent PAN is provided.  For fader mixes, the channel fader becomes the send level control and PAN uses the strip encoders. For encoder mixes, the rotary becomes the send level and PAN uses the shifted encoder function.  The channel fader is not affected.
