[. . . ] When either button is pressed the mode will become active with the buttons illuminating white to indicate that its mode is engaged. To switch follow mode off press the button(s) again. 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. To link a pair of channels proceed as follows. Press the MENU button, it's next to the touch screen. This will bring the Menu page up, if it isn't already there. This will open the SETUP page, this has two parameters: the Input Name and the Type. Use the SCROLL to select TYPE then change to LINKED. 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. The Delay and Phase settings remain unlinked. The PAN control becomes a balance control. 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. The QWERTY keyboard screen is displayed and the name can be edited. When the editing is complete press the encoder, or press the APPLY button (also to the right of the screen). The editing process can be aborted by pressing the BACK button. The Type has a default setting of Mono but it may be changed to Linked. [. . . ] Dim Monitors The monitor signal can be enabled to dim by the value set in this field below when the internal talkback button and an output bus solo button are selected. This prevents, for example, the engineer's wedge signal being picked up by the int. Dim Level This sets the dimming level, see field above. Delay This field enables the delay which may be set in the field below. [. . . ]
