Settings
Buss sizes and numbers are defined in the Master screen > Files >Session Structure panel.
Once created and assigned to the worksurface they can be viewed on screen as above.
A surround buss has 2 views, Folded and Unfolded.
Folded busses have an Unfold button that when pressed provides a screen view and control of the individual legs of the buss.
This view can be Folded again by pressing the Fold button on the Unfolded view control strip.
The leg of the surround buss that appears and can be adjusted in Folded view is chosen by selecting a Folded View Channel in the
control strip.
NOTE: In Folded view, the Fader and Mute will always adjust all legs of the Surround Buss.
Any member(s) of the surround buss can be Linked by pressing the Set Links button and then touching the relevant channels.
To create more than one set of links, toggle the Set Links button and start the process again.
In the above example of a 5.1 buss you will see that the Left and Right legs are linked and the Surround Left and Surround Right legs are
also linked separately.
NOTE: If the Surround Buss is folded and the Folded View Channel is linked to any of the other legs, an adjustment to the
settings in the Folded view will also affect all other channels linked to it.
There is an additional option to set elements of the individual legs to be the same as the Folded View Channel. This is achieved by
pressing any of the following buttons:
Trim & Delay
Filters & EQ
Dynamics
Fader & Mute
This is a quick method of giving all the legs of a surround buss the same settings.
