Solo Latch
To activate Solo Latch, simply select it in the
Options Menu, so a check mark appears beside Solo
Latch.
Solo may be set to latch (i.e., more than one solo
can be enabled as they are swiped across the screen
or on the panel) or to radio button (only one
allowable at a time).
If solo latch is not set (no check mark), multiple
solos may be manually latched by either:
1) Pressing and holding another solo switch, while
initiating more solos, or pressing multiple solos
at one time.
2) Pressing and holding [Shift], while initiating
more solos.
Link Speakers
• Links the Near Field and Main speaker levels
• Changing the speaker level when either speaker
set is selected changes the level on the other set.
• Hold Shift on the control surface or keyboard
while adjusting the speaker level to create an
offset between the speaker levels. This is a
convenient way to match monitor levels between
speaker systems while still linking the overall
volume changes.
• Hold Ctrl while adjusting Speaker Level to delete
the offset.
