FX Return Routing

The FX Return Routing page lets you view and adjust its sends to Aux mixes and other FX, and its Group and DCA assignments.

There are two ways to work with Return Routing:

Using this screen – Touch the tabs within the page to access the assignments and send levels.

Touch a box to toggle single parameters such as DCA and Group assignments. Touch a box to open the send panel on the right of the screen to adjust multiple parameters such as Aux send levels, assignments and Pre/Post settings. The screen Rotary becomes the Aux send level control as soon as the box is touched.

Using the GLD fader strips - Press an FX Return strip Mix key. Current settings are shown in the master strip LCD displays for:

• Sends from the FX to all Aux mixes
• Sends from the FX to the FX (including itself)
• FX Return assignments to the audio Groups

While holding down the Assign key press master Mix keys to toggle assignments on or off. While holding down the Pre/Post key press Sel keys to toggle Aux sends pre or post fader. Aux send levels can be adjusted using their master faders while in Mix mode. Remember to press the strip Mix key again to return to the main mix.

Aux sends – The send to each Aux can be set Pre or Post fader from the channel. The point within the channel signal path that feeds the send is set globally for each Aux using its master Routing page.

When sending to stereo Aux mixes a Pan control appears. This adjusts the stereo image of the FX to the Aux and is not the same as or affected by the main channel Pan control.

Strip Rotary control Custom 1 and 2 views - These can be configured as dedicated Aux or FX sends or Direct Out level using the Setup / Control / Surface Prefs screen.
