Assignable controls 15
At the heart of the si performer is a group of assignable controls that make the console easier and faster to navigate and operate assignable controls work by changing the function of sections of the console surface in this way a single control can do several jobs depending on the mode the console is working in it is important that you understand the assignable controls on the console in order to use it effectively especially the way in which the faders and fader follow buttons together determine the functionality of the control channels and faders 15
User manual 15
Fader layers 16
The are four main fader layers on the expression console selected by the faders button a b c and d group to the right of the control channels the additional buttons in this group assign graphic eq bands across the faders for convenient control 16

A troubleshooting guide one of the most common problems experienced with mixing consoles is finding that an input isn t appearing at an output there are many possible reasons for this but the best way to troubleshoot it is to first make sure the control channel is set up correctly and to go through the signal path and workout where the break is 133

Are solos inactive 133
Are the control channel input channel and input patch correct 133
Are they in phase 133
Is there anything on the meters 133
No sound 133
User manual 133
You can check the exact audio path of any signal by referring to the signal path diagrams in chapter 6 133

Almost exactly the same checks as above can be done on the output master channel whether it s a mix matrix or lr m master 135
Appendix 01 no sound 135
Is the output master channel path valid 135
Is the output patch valid 135
Is the signal routed to a valid output bus or channel 135
No sound 135
Routing can cover lr and mono routing as well as mix bus routing 135
To check the physical output patch select the relevant bus master channel and then go to the outputs menu in the touch screen 135
