Page 3 - 10 Soundcraft® Si Series User Guide pAnnInG & WIDtH COntROL Channel Mode As well as normal LR Panning control which is common to all input channels, a Width control is available for mono inputs when they are routed to LCR. The right-hand encoder on an input bay is reserved for Pan regardless of DYN/EQ/BUS1-12/BUS13-24 selection. Press the SEL button on the required input channel. Global Mode Select the Global Mode's PAN button. Each encoder on the input bay is now the Pan control for its own channel. selecting the Width Control Press and hold the Pan encoder wheel until the Pan mode toggles into Width mode. Note that this is only available for mono inputs which are routed to LCR. The width is variable between 0 and 100%. FOLLOW Output sELect ButtOns The FOLLOW OUTPUT SELect buttons are used for creating fast sub-mixes to any selected bus output. Contributions can be made by using the channel faders or the encoders in the VCS. There are two buttons: ENCODERS (Follow Output Select) and FADERS (Follow Output Select). When either button is pressed the mode will become active with the buttons illuminating white to indicate that its mode is engaged. Note:If the currently-selected Master Fader Mode does not have a valid FOLLOW OUTPUT SEL the button will illuminate orange to indicate that the button is in `Primed' mode. Note the Si3 has two sets of these buttons: one for each bank of input channels. They are independent of each other. Encoders Follow Output select The Input Channels' encoders are used to control contributions from their associated Input Channels to the selected Output bus. Note: an Output Channel's SEL button has precedence over an Input Channel's SEL button; therefore pressing an Input Fader SEL button will NOT place that channel onto the VCS. Faders Follow Output select The Input Channels' Faders are used to control contributions from their associated channels to the selected Output bus. The input channels' FaderGlow colours will show the colour of the selected output bus. Soundcraft® Si Series User Guide Page 3 - 11 LInKInG MOnO Inputs Adjacent pairs of mono input channels may be linked together if required. The left channel is always an oddnumbered channel, and the right channel is the next channel up. This will open the SETUP page, this has two parameters: the Input Name and the Type. When a channel has been assigned as linked, it and its twin are identifiable as a linked pair because their FaderGlowTM lights are illuminated white. In addition the following settings of the left channel are copied to the right channel: Gain, Phantom Power, Bus Routing, Compressor and Gate. Note: Linking only works for odd numbered channels! CHAnnEL & Bus nAMEs The Channel Name has a default setting, for example CH01-A01. To change this setting rotate the ADJUST encoder (to the right of the screen) until the Channel Name parameter is highlighted, then press the ADJUST encoder. When the editing is complete press the encoder, or press the APPLY button (also to the right of the screen). The Type has a default setting of Mono but it may be changed to Linked. To change this setting rotate the ADJUST encoder (to the right of the screen) until the Type parameter is highlighted, then press the ADJUST encoder. [. . . ] Note than any output bay solo buttons which are pushed will illuminate yellow, this indicates that they are not currently active, but if all of the Input soloes are de-selected then these Output soloes will become active, and the buttons will illuminate blue. If input priority is off then an output bus solo will cancel any input solos, and vice versa. The default is 0dB.
