Solo Operation Logic

Activating Solos

A Solo is activated when any Solo/Sel switch on the console is pressed, as long as the following is true:

• Gang Mode is not active

• VCA or Mute Group Setup page is not open

• Input or Output Fader Page Setup page is not open

Clearing Solos

• All active Solos can be cleared by pressing the momentary Solo Clear switch in the Master Section of the console.

This switch illuminates when any Solos are active.

• Solos can be switched off manually.

• Solos can be cleared by pressing other Solos, if AUTO CANCEL mode is enabled (see later in this chapter).

Input Priority Mode

When Input Priority is enabled, via the I/P PRI button in the master bay, it allows an Output Solo to remain active,

whilst an Input Solo is temporarily activated ‘over the top’ of it. When the Input Solo is activated, its audio replaces the

Output Solo audio on the Solo Bus, although the Output’s Solo/Sel switch remains illuminated. When the Input Solo is

deactivated, the Output Solo’s audio will return to the Solo Bus.

HINT: Input Priority mode is normally used by Monitor engineers, who tend to work with an Output Solo always active,

but occasionally need to solo an input to troubleshoot a problem. The Input Priority mode ensures that they automati-

cally return to the Output Solo they were listening to, after the Input Solo is deactivated.

Autocancel Mode

In the majority of cases in live sound mixing, only one channel is soloed at any time, so it has become common prac-

tice for solos to ‘autocancel’ so that pressing any solo cancels the previous one, and only one solo can be ON at any

time. This speeds up operation by eliminating the need to switch solos off before soloing the next channel. In some ap-

plications however, such as line checking, it is necessary to keep one channel soloed as a shout talkback feed whilst

soloing others, so additive solo is required in these cases. The {Autocancel} On/off switch in the Monitor Setup page

allows the behaviour to be set according to requirements. It is also possible to solo more than one channel or bus at a

time even if {Autocancel} mode is ON, this is achieved by holding down the rst solo whilst pressing the next. This kind

of additive solo is temporary however, and the next solo to be pressed will cancel all of the active solos.

Input priority and Autocancel mode work together if both enabled so that Output Solos cancel among themselves and

input solos cancel among themselves, but Input Solos do not cancel Output solos or vice versa.

Follow Output Solo Mode

A key feature of modern digital consoles is a method of assigning the channel faders to control Aux send levels for

monitor mixing. On the Vi3000, this mode is called ‘Follow’ mode, meaning that the Input faders will Follow the selec-

tion of the Output bus solo, which doubles as a bus select switch.

Follow mode is engaged using the distinctive, triangular Follow Output Solo [FLW] keys. There are three [FLW] keys:

one fader key and two Vistonics area keys. Only one key can be active at any one time (or none can be selected).

Selecting Follow mode for the Vistonics area means that a horizontal row of Vistonics encoders will be assigned

across the whole console to the contribution levels of the currently soloed bus. There is one [FLW] key for the upper

Vistonics row and one for the lower row. To use Follow mode on Vistonics area, the Vistonics screens must have all

processing views deselected.

• If Follow Solo is NOT active for faders or Vistonics encoders, pressing a Group or Aux Output Solo will activate an
