1.1 Introduction to Channel Types
This chapter describes all of the functions available within the SD channel strips. The first two parts
of the chapter will examine the Input/Setup and Output sections of each of the types of channel strip,
and the third part will cover the in-channel signal processing, which functions in precisely the same
way on each channel type. Those elements which are common to each channel type are dealt with
first, and then those elements which are specific to a channel type are dealt with separately.
In order to understand this chapter, you will find it helpful to have read the "Getting Started" manual
for your console.
1.2 Channel Input Setup - Common Elements
1.2.1 Channel Strip Input Area .....................................................
The channel strip input section is located at the top of the channel strip (shown below for an Input
channel). This is where the channel inputs, snapshot safes, and solo bus feeds are configured.
Some basic controls are displayed in the channel strip. However, most of the input parameters are
contained in the channel Setup display, accessed by touching the channel’s input or filters areas at
the top of the screen. The Setup display also contains a number of channel configuration elements.
Note that channels without an external input selected display a simpler input section than
that shown here. Note also that input channels can display a channel meter which hides the
input and filters sections of the channel strip. Press the 'assign' down button to close the
meter view.
The large pot at the top of the input area of the main channel strip controls the input level, and can be
accessed using the encoder immediately above the channel strip (SD7,8,10) or using the "quick
select" buttons (SD 5, 9,11). For Input channels which have ADC’s assigned to their inputs, this
remotely controls the analogue gain of the mic pre-amp in the I/O rack. For all other input types, this
is a digital level trim. The gain value is displayed to the right of the level pot.
To the left of the pot there is a phase reverse button which is grey when inactive and red when
switched in.
1.2.2 Channel Delays .....................................................................
Delay controls are found in the Setup display. The delay can be switched on using the on button,
which is ringed in red to indicate that it is on. The left-hand blue pot controls the course delay amount
in milliseconds. The right-hand blue pot enables fine adjustments to be made to this amount,
measured in samples. Both pots can be assigned to encoders by touching the on screen control.
on键变红说明已经开启延迟,左边的蓝色灯控制延迟的时间,
It is also possible to enter a specific delay amount using a numeric keypad. To do this, touch the
keypad symbol to the right of the delay on button in the Setup display, select the desired units from
the buttons to the right of the number buttons (seconds, feet, metres, frames or bpm) enter to
amount using the keypad, and press OK.
也可以通过点击左边的键盘图标来输入精确的延迟数字,
Note that altering the delay units in this keypad display will change them wherever they
appear on the console.
注意:一旦更改时间,无论他们在哪里出现都将按时间延迟
1.2.3 DiGiTube/Warmth .................................................................
The digitube area of the Channel Setup panel allows for the emulation of the non-linearities of a
valve amplifier: At low levels the valve is almost linear and at high levels the valve starts to compress
and exhibits “soft clipping.” 低水平的时候几乎是线性放大,高水平的时候 信号开始压缩
Click the on button to activate. The number of times the tube can be activated is dependent on which
SD console you are using. Please refer to the Console comparison chart in the appendix for more
information.不同的SD机子on键可点击次数不同,可以参考附录的参考表。
The drive control increases the gain into the valve and automatically reduces the output gain so that
the volume stays the same (like gain tracking); the indicator shows how hard you are driving the
valve and hence how much distortion is being introduced.
drive控制信号进入的增加量,并且自动减小输出增益以便保持一致。(类似增益追踪)指示器显示
阀门的改变量以及信号失真程度。
The bias control sets the symmetry of the distortion: At 0 the distortion is symmetrical and produces
largely 2nd harmonic (and even) distortions; as the bias is increased, the distortion becomes more
and more asymmetrical and starts adding 3rd (and odd) harmonic distortions. In effect, the bias
controls the characteristics of the distortion; a lower bias produces a softer distortion, whereas as
higher bias produces a harder distortion.
bias设置失真的对称量:值为0时失真是对称的,随着bias值的增加,失真原来可以不对称,并且
出现第三种调和失真。效果上看,bias控制失真的特点,较低的bias参数产生柔和的世珍宝,反之
大的bias参数导致强的失真。
The warmth control (which is hidden if the on button is pressed) switches DIGItube on, sets it to its
default settings, and hides the rest of the controls. There is no limit to the number of times warmth
can be switched on.
1.2.4 Naming Channels and Busses ............................................
A large number of elements within the console can be custom named. Access to the naming facility
is via black and white text boxes with down arrow and keyboard buttons to their right, such as shown
here:
手动创建名字,可以点击文字窗口或者按键右边的键盘图标以唤起QWERTY虚拟键盘,键盘包含标
准的Caps、shift,Delete功能,同时还有剪切、复制、粘贴功能键。可以用来在通道之间拷贝名称
。同时也可以使用外接键盘来输入名称。输入结束之后按OK键来确认,按CAN键以关闭虚拟键盘
而不会改变输入的文字。
要修改下一个频道的名称可以按NEXT或者外接键盘的tap键。
To create a name manually, touch the text box or the keyboard symbol to its right to bring up a
QWERTY keyboard display. This keyboard includes standard Caps, Shift and Delete functions, as
well as Cut, Copy and Paste functions which can be used to move name text between channels.
The arrow buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the keyboard display move the cursor within the
text box. Create the new name, either using the on-screen keyboard display or the external
keyboard, and press OK. To close the keyboard display without changing the name, press CAN. To
move the keyboard display to the following channel, press Next (or TAB on the external keyboard).
The Channel Name display enables commonly used words to be inserted quickly without the use of
the keyboard. This facility is available not only when naming channels but also when naming other
elements. To open the Channel Name display, touch the down arrow immediately to the right of the
Setup display’s channel name text box.
打开Channel Name可以不经过键盘输入快速选取合适的通道名称。通过点击向下箭头图标来打开
channel name 窗口。
Chapter 1 - Channel Types
Touching any word from the display inserts that word into the channel name text box. Further words
can then be added to the channel name in the same way, divided by a single space. Numeric and
L/R identifiers can be added from the column down the right-hand edge of the display. Text can be
entered in CAPS or Initial Caps by pressing the CAPS and Initial Cap buttons in the top of the
display. If neither of these are selected, all text is inserted in lower case.
Note that the first text to be inserted from the Channel Name display when it is opened
overwrites all previ- ous text.
注意:从channel name 阵列选择的名称会直接覆盖原有的名称
Note also that text that extends beyond the end of the text box will not be visible!
In addition to the standard word set, a list of user-defined words can be created and inserted by
pressing the custom button, located next to the Initial Cap button. The button lightens to indicate
that the custom set is displayed.
To
add a new word to the custom set, touch the box which you want to use and press edit, located next
to the custom button, to bring up a QWERTY keyboard display. Type the required word and press
OK. In this keyboard display, the Next button saves any text inserted in the current box and moves
the keyboard to the next box in the custom list. To cancel the keyboard display, press CAN within the
display, or press edit again. The words in the custom list are inserted into the channel name text box
in exactly the same way as words in the standard list. Pressing custom again returns the display to
the standard word set.
Tip: As custom names appear in the box in which they are typed, they are not automatically
alphabetised. The user may find it helpful to define a system for ordering the custom page.
Note also that the standard word set cannot be edited.
The current name can be cleared by touching the CLEAR button towards the top right-hand corner of
the Channel Name display. The Channel Name display can be closed by touching the CLOSE box,
in the top right-hand corner.
1.2.5 Channel
The Channel Safes area of the Setup display defines which parts of the channel will be not be
affected when snapshots are
recalled to this channel.
channel safes (通道锁定)区域能够控制不受快照影响的通道内容。图示显示的是
输入channel的锁定,输出channels有一系列的列表。
Note that the above diagram displays the Input channel safes. Output channels display a
smaller list of available channel safes.
Select whichever parts of the channel you want to protect in this way by touching the appropriate
button. To cancel a safe, press the relevant button again. The buttons turn red to indicate that they
are safed. The presence of safes within the channel is also indicated by the label of the appropriate
channel part turning red and the background colour of that channel’s name also turning red.
点击要锁定的内容按钮,按钮变红表示已经被锁定,再按一次相同按键来取消锁定。
The EQ and dynamics settings can also be safed and unsafed from within the eq and dynamics
displays. The whole channel can also be safed and unsafed by pressing the SAFE button at the
bottom of on-screen channel (offline software), . It is grey to indicate that some elements of the
channel are not safed, and red to indicate that the entire channel is safed.
整个通道也可以被锁定,通过点击屏幕通道地段的SAFE按钮来实现。
注:通道锁定仅在快照回放中起到保护作用。在使用复制、粘贴和重置功能时不会受到影响。
Channel elements which have been safed are indicated by their text displaying red in the channel
strip.
Tip: When some elements of the channel are safed, a double-press on the SAFE button can
be used to quickly clear all channel safes (SD5, SD7).
Note: Channel safes refer specifically to snapshot recalls and do not protect channel
settings when using the copy from, copy to and presets functions described below.
1.2.6 Copy Channels …………………………………………………………….
相关通道的设置可以实现通道间的复制。copy from:拷贝其他通道的设置到本通道
;点击copy from按钮以打开复制通道列表。
The Channel Settings area of the Setup display allow channel settings to be copied between
channels. The left and right arrow
buttons are used to move the Setup display to
adjacent channels.
The copy from button allows settings to be copied from other
channels to this channel and those to its right: Pressing copy from opens up a Copy Channels
display:
The extent of the channel settings to be copied is selected using the scope buttons towards the
bottom of the display. Each button lightens to indicate that it is included in the copy function. The
number of source channels to be copied is defined either by selecting the appropriate grey
numbered button, or by selecting the keypad button to the right of the numbered buttons, typing the
required number of source channels into the numeric keypad which appears, and pressing OK.
Press the LCD button (shown below) on the left-most source channel in order to action the channel
copy. If more than one source channel has been selected, the settings of appropriate number of
channels to the right of the source channel will copy to the channels to the right of the destination
channel (The current Assigned channel).
需要拷贝的通道设置内容可以通过在 scope键下选择相应通道。
例如:要拷贝1-8频道的EQ设置到9-16频道,将通道9作为指定频道,点击copy from按钮,在频
道复制窗口的scope区域选择eq键;设置频道数为8,点击频道1的LCD/select键。
For example, to copy the EQ settings on channels 1-8 to channels 9-16 respectively:
- Make channel 9 the Assigned channel and touch copy from
- In the scope area of the Copy Channels display, select only the eq button
- Set the number of channels to be 8.
- Press the LCD/select button on channel 1.
The copy to button allows settings to be copied from this channel to other channels: Pressing copy
to opens up a Copy Chan- nels display:
copy to功能能够将本通道的设置拷贝到其他的通道:
方法:点击copy to 打开copy channels窗口(不同于copy from按钮打开的窗口);选择scopy下
面的要复制的通道设置,按钮点亮说明复制成功。
如果要选择多个通道复制此设置,可以通过手动点击通道名称按钮,或者在右边的虚拟键盘中输入通
道数字后点击OK。
点击通道最左端的LCD按钮来启动通道复制,如果选择了多个目标通道,本通道的相关设置将分别
复制到目的地通道上。
Note that this is a different Copy Channels display from that opened by the copy from button.
The extent of the channel settings to be copied is selected using the scope buttons towards the
bottom of the display. Each button lightens to indicate that it is included in the copy function. The
number of destination channels to which this channel’s settings will be copied is defined either by
selecting the appropriate grey numbered button, or by selecting the button to the right of the
numbered buttons, typing the required number of source channels into the numeric keypad which
appears, and pressing OK. Press the LCD button (shown above) on the left-most destination
channel in order to action the channel copy. If more than one destination channel has been selected,
the settings of the source channel will copy to the appropriate number of channels to the right of the
selected destination channel.
例如要将ch1的EQ设置拷贝到ch9-16:1.将ch1作为指定通道,点击copy to;在scope区域选择
eq选项,设置通道数目为8,在ch9处按LCD/select按钮。
For example, to copy the EQ settings on channel 1 to channels 9-16:
- Make channel 1 the Assigned channel and touch copy to
- In the scope area of the Copy Channels display, select only the eq button
- Set the number of channels to be 8.
- Press the LCD/select button on channel 9.
If a copy from or copy to function is actioned by mistake, it can be undone by pressing the
undo previous copy button in the current Copy Channels display.
如果copy from或者copy to功能键被误操作,可以通过点击undo previous copy 按钮来取消之前的
操作。
注意:使用copy to功能能复制一个通道的设置到多个其他的通道;而使用copy from 功能能够复制
一组通道的设置到另一组通道中。
Tip: Use copy to for copying one channel’s settings to a number of other channels;
Use copy from to copy the settings of a group of channels to another group of
channels.
1.2.7 Channel Presets ....................................................................
通道预设用来储存和唤起通道的设置,
Presets are used for storing and recalling settings for channels, fx units, graphic EQs and the
matrix. While each preset functions slightly differently, this section provides a basic
understanding of how to use the various preset displays:
preset窗口的左侧包含可选用的通道名称,点击某一通道可以在右边看到可设置的下拉列表名称。
The left-hand column of a preset display contains the available groups of presets, and touching one
of these groups brings up the list of presets within that group in the column to its right (name). The
columns to the right of the preset name displays the number of channels whose settings are included
in the preset (chs) (Channel and Matrix presets only), the date and time it was created or updated
(notes), and whether or not it is locked (lock).
Chs:只有通道和矩阵预置; notes:创建或者更新的日期和时间
lock:是否锁定
Note that a presets display will only list presets of the relevant type.
注意:预置功能只显示相关类型的列表
To recall a preset, touch the name of the group containing the preset you wish to recall, and then
touch the preset’s name. The recall scope buttons at the bottom of the some preset displays allow
you to select which elements are recalled and which elements remain unchanged. The buttons are
included in the recall when they are lit.
唤醒预设:点击需要唤醒的group名称;然后再点击预设名;在有些预设表的底部有唤醒范围按钮,
可供选择需要操作的选项。
To save the current settings as a new preset, touch the group in which you want the preset to be
stored and press the new button. The new preset is automatically named according to the preset
type. To alter the preset’s name, type the new name using the keyboard display that appears (or the
external keyboard) then, if relevant, touch and edit the number of channels’ settings that you want to
store in the preset (the default is one channel). Now touch OK.
保存现有设定作为一个新的预设:选择待选对象组名然后点击new按钮,根据预设类型自动生成新的
预设名。要更改名字可以使用虚拟键盘。然后点击OK。
Note that pressing CAN in the keyboard display will cancel the display but create the new
preset with its default name.
注意:点击键盘上的CAN键将直接创建一个新的默认预设名
To save the settings as an update of a previous preset, press update, touch the preset you wish to
overwrite, and press Yes in the confirmation display which appears.
想要更改之前的设定,可以使用update键,选择要重置的preset名,点击Yes。
Note that when updating a previous preset, failing to press update will result in the preset you
wish to overwrite being recalled, and the settings to be saved being lost.
注意:如果忘记点击update键,将丢失新更改的设置并唤醒原始的预设。
To create a new group of presets, press new group. A new group will be created, called group n,
where n is the next available preset group number. To alter the group’s name, type the new name
using the keyboard display that appears (or the external keyboard) and touch OK.
创建一个新的预设组:选择new group,将创建一个名为group n的新组,n表示下一个可用的组号
。可以用虚拟键盘或外接键盘更改名称,最后点击OK。
Note that pressing CAN in the keyboard display will cancel the display but create the new
group with its default name.
注意:点击虚拟键盘的CAN将取消显示并以默认名称创建一个新组
The edit name button allows preset names and group names to be edited, and the preset to be
locked, preventing them from being edited, overwritten, or deleted. The button lightens to indicate
that it is active. To edit a preset’s name, make sure the preset is unlocked (see below), activate the
edit name button and touch the preset’s name. Type the new name in the keyboard display and
press OK. To edit a preset group name, activate the edit name button and touch the group name.
Type the new name in the keyboard display and press OK.
edit name 键可以更改预设名或者组名、锁定、防止被更改、重写或者删除。如果要编辑预设名,要
确认预设属于非锁定状态;激活edit name键,然后点击预设名;键入新名称然后点击OK。编辑预
设组名的操作类似。
To lock the preset, activate the edit name button and touch the preset’s lock column. A grey padlock
appears, indicating that the preset is now locked. Touching the lock again with edit name active
unlocks the preset.
lock键能够锁定和激活edit name键,灰色显示此时处于锁定状态,再次点击lock键可以解锁。
To delete a preset, press delete, touch the preset to be deleted, and press confirm. To delete a
consecutive range of presets, press delete followed by select range, touch the first and last preset
to be deleted and press confirm. To delete one preset, or a nonconsecutive range, touch each
preset to be deleted and press confirm. To delete an entire group of presets, press delete followed
by select all, then press confirm.

击delete。选择第一个和最后一个预设然后点击confirm。如果只是删除一个预设或者非连续区域的
预设选择每一个预设然后点击confirm。如果要删除整个组的预设,全选后点击delete,然后点击
confirm。
1.2.8 Channel Solos .......................................................................
频道独奏监听(独立监听按钮)
SD consoles have two solo busses, and each channel can be assigned to solo 1, solo 2 or both
solo 1 and 2. If the console was being used for Stage monitors, this would allow, for example, the
first solo buss to feed In-Ear monitors and the second solo buss to feed a wedge.
SD 系列的操控台提供两种solo busses,每一个频道Ch能够制定成solo1,solo2,或者solo1和2.
如果操作台用在舞台监控,可以实现第一个solo buss用在入耳式反送监听,第二个solo buss 可以
监听舞台箱。
注意:solo buss配置在master solo 列表里,通过点击主屏(Master screen)顶部的Solos button
进入。
Note: The solo busses are configured in the master solo displays, accessed by pressing the
Solos button at the top of the Master Screen.
The channel’s solo routing is assigned in the section at the bottom section of the channel Setup
display. Pressing the green solo 1 and solo 2 buttons enables the channel to be routed to solo
busses 1 and 2 respectively. The buttons are green to indicate that the solo buss is available, and
grey to indicate that it isn’t.
通道的solo配置是在通道设置列表底部,点击绿色的solo1,solo2可以相应地给通道配置成solo 母
线1和2。按钮变绿显示该solo 母线是可以用的,否则灰色显示不可用。
注意:每一个通道ch必须配置至少一路solo 母线
Note that each channel must be enabled for at least one solo buss.
When the blue auto solo buttons are active (indicated by white, rather than grey, text), that channel
is automatically routed to that solo buss whenever another channel is soloed to that buss.
当蓝色的auto solo(自动监听)按钮是激活状态,当另外一个通道监听这条母线的时候本通道将自动
路由到另外的那个通道上。
Note that a list of channels with auto solo enabled is displayed in the auto solo section of the
master solo display. The auto solo function has to be activated by pressing the blue enabled
button below the auto solo list in the master solo display. Auto solo is disabled when in
single solo mode.
注意:自动监听通道列表显示在master 监听列表里,通过点击master solo display自动监听列表
下面的蓝色按钮来激活自动监听功能。在单独监听模式下(single solo mode)自动监听暂停。
Tip: If you are using effects returns, selecting auto solo can allow soloed tracks to be
auditioned with their effects returns.
Tip:如果在使用效果返回,选择自动监听功能将允许追踪效果回响。
1.3 Channel Output and Inserts - Common Elements
1.3.1 Channel
Strip Output Area ...................................................
频道输出和插入
ch带状输出区域
The channel strip output area makes up the lower half of the Channel Strip panel (shown below for
an input channel). This is where the channel output routes are configured (including Aux outputs in
the case of Input channels).
通道带状输出区域位于通道带状表的下半部分(上面是输入区域),
Each channel also has two inserts: insert A and insert B. Both inserts follow the format (mono or
stereo) of their channel. The channel strip insert areas are located above the eq section (insert A)
and below the 2nd Dynamics section (insert B), and their signals are sent and returned to that
position within the signal path: insert A is pre-signal processing (but post filters), and insert B is post
signal-processing. Only one point, either insert A or insert B, can be used per channel on SD9 or
SD11.
insert A和insert B都有两种格式单声道和立体声(mono or stereo),insert区域在EQ和2nd Dynamics
区域之间,
信号路线:insert A 信号处理前(pre-signal processing)(在过滤器后面);insert B是信号处理后
。insert A和insert B在每个通道里面都可以使用。
Post-Fade Inserts
Up to 32 mono input channels can have their insert B point switched to a post fader insert point using
the button in the Output Setup panel.
在output setup panel(输出设置面板)里可以将输入通道的insert B 指向转换到推子后插入(post fader
insert)
Note that Multi channels do not have their own insert controls – each multi-channel
component's insert points are configured individually.
备注:多通道没有自己的插入控制,每一个多通道组分的插入点都是各自分别控制的。
Some basic output and insert functions are found in the channel strip. However, most of the output
and insert parameters are contained in the channel Output display, accessed by touching the
channel’s output or insert areas.
在频道输出窗口包含有大部分的输出和插入参数,通过点击相关区域来设置。
Note that on Input channels, an aux display is opened by touching the aux area. To open the
Output display, touch in the muting and naming area below the pan control.
备注:在输入通道里,点击aux区域可以显示aux功能,通过点击控制盘下面的静音和命名区域可
以打开输入设置。如果在session structure里有多通道母线,控制表的显示将与之前的不同
Note that if there are any multi-channel busses in the Session Structure, the pan display will
be different from that shown above.
For all output channel types, there is a channel meter displayed in the channel strip. For Input
channels, this part of the channel strip contains the aux outputs, as shown above. On stereo and
multi-channel format channels, symbols below each meter indicates which component is displayed.
LFE channels are indicated by a small box with a dot in it.
在所有通道输出类型中有一个channel meter displayed,对于输入通道(input ch)通道带的这一部
分包含aux 输出,在立体声和多通道格式的通道里每一个仪表下面显示组成成分。
LFE通道通过一个带有点的小箱子的图标来显示。
Note that input channels can display a meter in the top section of the channel strip. Meter
sources are defined in the Options menu, described in the Master Section
备注:输入通道能够在通道区顶端显示数据,数据源在选择按钮那定义。详见Master Section
Below the meters section of output channels, there is an fx output button. This button brings up
either the controller display for the effects preset that has been assigned, or the fx Presets display if
no preset has been assigned.
在输出meters section的下面,有一个fx output 按钮,这个按钮能够唤起预设效果(已存在预设)
,或者指定预设
Note that below the aux section of an Input channel, there is a pan control in place of the fx
output button. When an effects preset has been assigned to that channel's Direct Out,
touching this pan control brings up the FX preset controller display.
备注:在input channel下面的aux区域,在fx 输出按钮处有一个表盘控制。当一个效果预设分配
给该通道的Direct out(直接输出),点击这个pan 控制能够唤起fx 预设控制设置。
Towards the bottom of the channel strip there is a scribble strip text box displaying the channel
names.
Note that the channel naming facility is found in both the channel Setup and Outputs
displays.
Below the channel name, there is indication of the lowest group (Grp:) output (along with indication
of the lowest direct output (Dir:) in the case of Input channels), and indication of any control group
(CG:) to which the channel belongs.
The on-screen channel has MUTE and HARD indicators located above the scribble strip. Pressing
the work surface MUTE button (above the LCD button) silences all outputs from the channel apart
from any which have been assigned pre-mute (this option is available for auxes and direct outs).
Pressing the work surface 2nd Function button to activate the HARD mute silences all outputs from
the channel, including those which are assigned pre-mute. A dedicated HARD mute button can be
found on both SD5 and SD7 work surfaces.
在屏幕上的通道区域有MUTE(静音)和HARD显示。点击工作区域的MUTE按钮(在LCD按钮上面
)将启动输出静音。除非该通道属于auxes的 pre-mute或者direct outs。
点击第二功能键(2nd Function)来激活HARD mute 静音所有从本通道输出的信号,包含被设置了
pre-mute的通道。
Immediately below the HARD button, there is a numeric display of the channel’s main fader value in
dB. Below the MUTE button there is a CG MUTE Indicator which shows when the channel is muted
as the result of its membership of a muted Control Group. At in the bottom left-hand corner of the
channel strip, there is a GANG display. To the right of the GANG button there is a SAFE button. This
indicates that one or more of the channel's recall safes have been activated.
在HARD按钮下面有一个数字窗口,显示主推子的dB值。在MUTE按钮下面有一个CG MUTE
Indicator显示通道被静音控制组静音情况。
底部的GANG,SAFE按钮,显示一个或者多个channel’s recall safes 已经被激活。
1.3.2 Channel Strip Insert Areas ...................................................
频道输入区域
Channel strip insert areas include a button for switching that insert send on and off. The button is
grey when the send is off, and red when it is on. 按钮红色显示insert 发送开启
Below the on/off button, there is a display of the current insert routing. The send route is displayed on
the left, prefixed by S:, and the return route is displayed on the right, prefixed by R:. If no
routing has been selected, these areas are blank apart from these prefixes. If the channel is stereo,
only the left side of the insert routing is displayed.
在on/off 按钮下面有一个插入路由显示。左边是发送路由,前缀为S:,返回路由在右边,前缀为R:
。如果没有选择任何路由前缀旁边的区域是空白的,如果通道是立体声,只有左边的插入路由是显示
状态。
1.3.3 Console Output and Insert Routing .....................................
The Output displays for all channel types allow direct routing either to the external IO racks, or to
one of a variety of internal locations, for both the channel’s main output (or direct output in the case of
Input channels), and its insert send and return.
所有通道类型都可以选择output来想外部IO racks 或者内部的不同地方直接路由。同时包括通道的
主输出(或者输出通道的直接输出direct out)以及插入发送和返回。
In addition to touching inside the output area of the channel strip, it is also possible to open each
channel's Outputs display from the Channel Lists display, opened from the Master Screen's
Layout menu: Activate the Edit button at the base of the display, expand the required channel type
by touching its entry in the list, then touch the output column within the required channel row. An
outputs display will open within the Master Screen:
除了通过点击通道显示条的输出区域out put area来打开输出显示外,还可以从主屏幕的Layout menu
菜单里面打开每一个通道的outputs display。
步骤:激活底部的Edit按钮,在列表里面点击进入按钮entry来扩展需要的通道类型;然后在需要的
通道排里面点击output column。就可以在主屏幕打开输出显示(outputs display)
Towards the bottom of the Outputs display, there are three buttons marked output (direct in Input
channels), insert A and insert B. Selecting one of these buttons assigns that send (or send and
return) to the signal routing area above it: When either insert is assigned, the ins A send or ins B
send routing button appears in the left-hand column, and the ins A return or ins B return routing
button in the right-hand column; When the output (direct output in Input channels) is assigned, the
outputs (direct outs in Input channels) routing button appears in the left-hand column and the
right-hand column is left blank. Pressing any of these routing buttons opens a routing display.
在outputs显示的底部有三个按钮分别为output(直接在输入频道)、insert A和insert B。选择一个
按钮给它上面的信号路由区域指定发送或者发送返回。当指派任意一个插入通道ins A或者B时,在左
手边的路由按钮将显示ins A或者ins B send. 返回路由按钮(ins A return或者ins B return)在右边
。当指定输出(输入通道里面的direct output 直接输出),输出路由按钮显示在左边的column右边
的column是空白。点击任何路由按钮将打开一个路由显示。
An extra button labelled send+return is included above the ports list in the Insert Send Route
display button. When this button is activated, the send and return routing is linked for all signals
within the INTERNAL port: If the Graphic 1 input is assigned to the insert send, the Graphic 1
output is automatically assigned to that insert return. Similarly, if it is the return which is manually
assigned, the send automatically copies that send assignment. The send+return button is grey
when inactive and brown when active.
一个额外的标题为send+return(发送加返回)的按钮包含在插入路由里面的ports list里面。当这个
按钮被激活,接受和返回路由将与所有internal port(内部端口)的信号相连接;如果Graphic 1输
入以及指派给插入发送(insert send),graphic 1的output将自动指派给那个插入返回。同样的,
如果手动指定了返回,发送将自动复制那个发送指派。Send+return按钮棕色的时候是激活状态,灰
色的时候是关闭状态
The mono > mono and mono > stereo buttons are used when routing a mono channel to internal fx
units and Waves plug-ins (where available). When mono > mono is selected, the channel signal is
routed to left side of an fx unit, or to a mono Waves rack input. When mono > stereo is selected, the
channel is routed to both sides of the fx unit or Waves rack.
当将一个mono channel路由到内部fx 单元,和波动插入程序(waves plug-ins)时就使用mono >
mono 和 mono > stereo按钮。如果选择mono > mono ,频道信号将路由到左边的一个fx 单元,
或者去mono waves rack input。当选择mono > stereo频道将路由到两边的fx 单元或者waves rack
。
1.3.4 FX Presets .............................................................................
Each channel output or insert send can be sent to an internal FX Unit. Pressing the fx presets button
at the bottom of the Outputs display brings up the fx Presets display. The fx preset is applied to
whichever channel output is active in the Outputs display when the fx presets button is pressed: the
main channel output (or direct output), insert send A or insert send B:
每一个通道的output或者插入发送可以发送给内部的FX单元。点击outputs显示底部的fx presets
按钮将唤起fx presets 显示。当频道的Fx preset按钮属于激活状态,fx preset将指派给相应的在输
出显示中频道输出是激活状态的频道。频道主输出(直接输出,direct output),插入发送A或者插
入发送B。(insert send A 或者insert send B)
Note that column widths can be adjusted by dragging their borders within the title row. To
return all columns to their default widths, press RESET WIDTHS, in the top left-hand corner
of the window.
备注:可以通过拽动标题的边框来调整

1.4 Input Channel Specific Functions
输入通道的特殊功能
1.4.1 Trim
削波和track(音轨)
On Input channels which a mic or line input, there is a trim section at the bottom of the channel strip’s
input area, consisting of a smaller pot marked trim and a track on/off button. The trim pot digitally
trims the level of the input signal, and the level adjustment is displayed to the right of the pot in dB. If
track is switched on, the trim level automatically compensates for any adjustments made to the
analogue input level: If the analogue input level is increased, the trim level will decrease in order to
keep the signal level coming through the channel at the same level. This function is particularly
useful when the analogue level is being controlled from another console, such as when this console
is running monitor mixes and another console is running Front of House. Control of the trim pot and
track on/off button can be assigned to the encoder and button above/below the channel using the
assign scrollers to the left of the encoders or the quick select buttons. 6
在输入通道底部的输入区域有一个trim模块,包含一个小的trim pot和一个track on/off 按钮。Trim pot
能够调节输入信号的数字水平,并以dB的形式在pot的右边进行显示。如果track是打开的状态,trim
水平将对给类似输入水平(analogue input level)做的任何调整进行自动的补偿:如果analogue input
level增加,trim level将会降低以保持进入通道的信号水平保持不变。这个功能对于analogue level
是被另一台控制器所控制的情况下特别有用,例如当这个控制器是running monitor mixes,另一台控
制器是running Front of House。
Relative Gain-Tracking - Snapshot Recalls Total Gain
“Relative Gain-Tracking” is implemented as a “Snapshot Recalls Total Gain” option at the bottom of
the Snapshot Global Scope panel. When a snapshot recalls an input channel trim, it compares the
snapshot’s stored analogue gain against the current gain on the channel’s input socket. If there’s a
difference it offsets the value recalled by the trim. This only happens when the socket’s rack is in
Receive Only, or the analog gain is not in Recall Scope.
“相对增益追踪”relative gain-Tracking通过位于Snapshot Global Scope panel(快照通用范围面板
)底部的“Snapshot Recalls Total Gain”(快照调出总增益)选项来实现的。当一个快照找回一次输
入通道微调(input channel trim),它将比较快照所储存的相似增益与输入通道socket 的现有增益
。如果有不同它将对trim的招回值进行补偿,当socket‘s rack 是只接受状态的时候能够实现,或者
类增益不在Recall
1.4.2 Input Routing .........................................................................
Inputs are routed using the channel Setup display, opened by touching in the input area of the
channel strip. It is also possible to open the display from the Channel List display, opened from the
Master Screen's Layout menu: Activate the Edit button at the base of the display, expand the
required channel type by touching its entry in the list, then touch the output column within the
required channel row. A Setup display will open within the Master Screen:
输入路由:通过频道设置区对inputs进行路由分配,听过点击频道的输入区来打开。同时还可
以从频道列表里面打开单个通道,从master界面的的Layout 菜单打开:激活区域底部的Edit
按钮,通过点击列表里面的entry来设定,然后点击需要的频道row之间的输出区域。如此即可
在主屏幕上打开设置表。
The buttons at the top of the channel Setup display to define the format of the channel: mono or
stereo. 在频道setup区域的顶部有按钮可以定义频道的格式,单声道或者立体声。
Note that Multi-channel formats are configured in a different way from mono and stereo
formats, as de- scribed later in this chapter
备注:多通道模式与
mono stereo
格式是不同的模式,
As the channel format affects a number of functions within the Setup display, it is advisable to select
the format before any further configuration takes place. The current format of the channel is indicated
in the channel strip by the number of meters displayed: One meter for mono channels and two for
stereo. 因为频道格式影响setup 区域的数个功能,因此有必要在任何后续的操作之前先行选择格式,
通道现有格式可以通过channel strip的仪表显示独处:一个表显示单声道,两个显示立体声。
For mono channels, each input channel has two inputs: a main input and an alternative input. These
are selected using the main button in the channel strip. The button is grey when the main input is
selected and red when the alt input is selected. The input can also be selected using the main and
alt buttons towards the top of the Setup display. These buttons light to indicate which one is
currently selected. For stereo channels, the alternative input becomes the right side of the stereo
input, and therefore no main and alt input selection buttons are shown.
在单声道,每一个输出ch有两个inputs: 一个主输入和一个altnative输入(辅助)。通过使用channel
strip的主按钮来选择,main input情况下按钮是灰色的而alt input情况下按钮是红色。同时也可以通过
点击位于setup display (设置区域)顶部的main 和alt 按钮来选择main或者alt。按钮点亮说明该功能
被激活。
立体声通道下,alt input在stereo input 右边,因此没有可显示的main 和alt输入选择按钮。
The inputs available on an Input channel include feeds from the external IO racks, the local inputs on
the back of the console and a variety of internal signals. Pressing either the main input or alt input
routing button in the Setup display opens the Input Route display. The signal feeding each input
can then be selected as described in the Getting Started section of this manual.
Input channel里可用的输入源包含外接IO racks(IO 接口箱),位于控制台后边的本地输入口以及各
种内部信号。在setup 区域点击main input 或者alt input路由按钮将打开输入路由显示。可以在此选择
每一个输入的信号源。
1.4.3 Input Configuration(输入配置) ...............................................................
If a channel is stereo, balance and width controls appear below the mono and stereo buttons: The
left-hand blue pot controls the balance and can be reset to centre by pressing the centre button
below it. The right-hand blue pot effects the width of the stereo signal, with a range from mono to
wide. The width can be reset to stereo be pressing the stereo button beneath the width pot. The
value of the balance and width is displayed to the right of each pot as a percentage divergence.
如果通道是立体声,平衡和幅度控制显示在mono 和stereo按钮下面:左手边的蓝色pot控制平衡,通
过点击下面的centre按钮能够把它重置为中间点。右手边的蓝色pot显示立体声信号的width(幅度)
,从mono到wide。通过点击width pot 下面的stereo按钮可以将幅度重置为立体声。平衡和幅度值在
每一个pot的右边以数字发散百分数来显示。
Stereo channels also have an m-s button, located above the input routing button, which switches in
a decode function for replaying M-S signals as a normal stereo pair. There are three further buttons
in this panel: L<>R swaps the channel’s left and right outputs, L>L+R sends the left signal to both left
and right busses, and R>L+R sends the right signal to both left and right busses.
Stereo channels(立体声通道)也有一个m-s按钮,位于input 路由按钮上面。M-s具有解码功能,能
够将m-s信号以普通立体声的形式重播。这个表盘有三个功能键:L<>R能够调换频道的左右输出。
L>L+R可以将左边的信号同时发送给左右两边母线。R>L+R则能将右边的信号发送给左右两边母线
1.4.4 Channel Metering .................................................................
频道测量
Channel meters can be displayed in the top section of the Input channel strip, in place of the input
and filters areas. To do this, screen scroll (SD9, SD11) up button, located on the console
worksurface. If these encoders are initially assigned to the trim function, you will need to press the
rotary assign up button twice to display the meters.
If you adjust any parameter which is hidden by the meters, the meters will be hidden
momentarily, allowing adjustments to be viewed.
1.4.5 Output Routing .....................................................................
输出路由:信号从输入通道提供给四个不同的区域:aux母线,group母
线,插入发送insert sends以及直接输出direct outputs。
Signals can be fed from Input channels to four different places: aux busses, group
busses, insert sends and direct outputs. Insert routing and basic direct output routing
are described in the Getting Started Manual.
The top half of the output section of the Input channel strip contains the aux buss
controls, as previous described. Below the auxes, there is a pan control, affecting the
relative levels of the channel’s left and right outputs to any stereo routing
destinations. The controls are formatted to match the format of the buss with the most
components:
在auxes 下面有一个pan 控制,影响频道左右输出到任何立体声路由的相对比例水平。
- Where there are only stereo or LCR busses, a simple pan slider is shown (see
below left). Move the slider to adjust the pan. A text box indicates the panning position as a
percentage from the centre towards the right.
1.4.6 Aux Busses and Assignable Controls ..................................
Within an Input channel strip, each aux send has a level trim and on/off switch to the right. The switch
is grey to indicate that the send is off, and red to indicate that it is on. The trim level is displayed in dB
on the right of the channel strip, underneath the aux number. There are three places within the
channel from which the aux sends can be fed, as indicated by the source display immediately to the
right of the level trim:
PRE Pre-fader
POST Post-fader
Pre-M Pre-mute (and pre-fader)
The source position can be changed by pressing the worksurface 2nd function button and using the
switches below the aux send encoders. The source for each aux can also be adjusted globally via
the aux channel’s Setup display.
On stereo aux sends, there is a pan control to the right of the on/off switch. This can be adjusted by
pressing the worksurface 2nd function button and using the rows of encoders below the
worksurface screen. The pan controls for each aux can be globally linked to the channel fader via the
aux channel’s Setup display.
The auxes controlled by these encoders and buttons can be selected using the scroll buttons to the
left of the top encoder, and is indicated by purple ring on the on-screen aux sends.
Note that this assignment is channel specific and will be recalled if the Assigned channel is
changed and returned to that channel.
The encoders and buttons immediately below the Channel Strip can be used to control either the aux
sends, or a separate function. This function is referred to as the ‘locked’ function, as it does not
change when the auxes are moved. The button at the end of each row, next to the LCD display, flips
the assignment of that row between the aux sends and the locked function. Touching any on-screen
aux send assigns the highest available encoder row to that send, and assigns any other available
encoder rows to the aux sends below it. The scroll button outside the bottom left-hand corner of the
screen can also be used to change which auxes are assigned to the encoders. (SD5,7,8,10)
Note that only six auxes can be displayed in the Channel Strip panel at once. The panel will
always display the auxes assigned to the encoder rows below it. This means that the auxes
controlled by the dedicated aux encoders in the channel worksurface controls may not be
visible.
By default, the encoders control the aux level and the button controls the aux on/off status. However,
by pressing the 2nd function button (located on the surface), the button becomes the aux’s source
selector (toggling between PRE, POST or Pre-M), and the encoder becomes the pan control of a
stereo channel. On mono auxes, the encoder has no second function.
It is also possible to show all of the aux sends for a channel in a single display and assign them to the
rotaries beneath the screen. This is done by assigning the required channel to the aux controls (the
assigned auxes will be displayed in dark purple with a dark purple surround) then touching one of the
assigned auxes. The layout of the display indicates which encoder each aux is assigned to; if there
are more sends than rotaries, the assignments becomes scrollable using the Screen Scroll
function. The Picture below shows an SD7 with 36 Sends.
Once you have adjusted the auxes in this display, you need to close it manually before opening any
other channel detail display.
Note that further worksurface assignments of auxes is available via the Surface, Faders and
Solo tabs of the Options menu.
1.4.7 Group Outputs .......................................................................
Group outputs are routed from within the groups section of the channel Outputs display. Touching
the mono button to the left of the display produces a list of available mono groups in the right of the
display, and touching the stereo or surround format buttons produces a list of the other types of
group. These buttons 'light' to indicate that it is their group outputs list which is currently displayed,
and 'half-light' to indicate that there is routing to busses of that format which isn't shown in the
display. Touching any of the groups within each list routes the channel to that group. Each channel
can be routed to as many mono and stereo groups as have been created.
Any mono groups being fed by a stereo channel will receive a L+R summed signal of the channel
output. The lowest selected group output is displayed in the channel strip, below the left side of the
channel name, and the currently selected direct output is displayed below the right side of the
channel name.
When a new session is created, the lowest numbered stereo group is always designated the Master.
Therefore, all input channels are routed to it by default, and the master fader(s) are assigned to it.
当创建新的对话的时候,最低数字的立体声group都会指定为Master,因此所有的输入通道都会默认
路由到Master频道。
1.4.8DirectOutputs .......................................................................
直接输出
direct out默认为推子后(post-fader),但是可以转换为推子前或者静音前。
Basic routing is described in your console's Getting Started section. Once the direct output has been
routed, it is switched on by pressing the grey on button next to the output level meter in the grey area
below the direct outs routing button. The direct out is taken post-fader by default, but can be
switched to pre-fader or pre mute by pressing the button to the right of the on button. The current
selection is displayed to the right of the button.
1.5 Output Channels Specific Functions
1.5.1 Unfolding Channels ..............................................................
Group and Aux Channels which are stereo or surround have an Unfold button above their meters,
which is used to display the components of the signal in their own channel strip with a master
channel displayed to their left.
In the top section of the unfolded Master channel, buttons for each component channel allow you to
define which channel's elements are displayed in the Folded View.
In the middle area of the unfolded Master channel, the links between component channels can be
edited. Links function in the same way as Gangs, but are limited to the components of a
multi-channel signals. To edit links, press the Set Links button so that it goes red, then press the
LINK buttons above the channel meters in the channels to be linked or unlinked - each button will
take on the same colour, indicating that they are linked. To remove a link, press the LINK button
while Set Links is active. Note that if you start a set of links and then de-link and re-link another
channel, a new link set will be started, as indicated by the introduction of a new link colour. When you
have finished linking channels, deselect Set Links. You can also clear all links and link all using
the buttons below Set Links.
Set links 设置连接-》灯变红-》点击Link按钮->所有按钮都变成同一种颜色,表示它们是关联的。
Note that if component channels have different settings when linked, changes in hidden,
linked channels will be made relative to the change in the Folded View channel, but the
display will only reflect the Folded View channel.
注意:
如果相互关联的子通道有不同的设置,
Below the link buttons in the master, there are buttons for each element in the components' channels
- trim & delay, filters & eq, dynamics and faders & mutes. Pressing one of these buttons will
cause that element in all the channels to match those of the Folded channel. Once you have
finished with the unfolded view, press the FOLD button to fold the channels back together. The
picture below shows a 5.1 Buss from an SD5/SD7
1.5.2 Group Channels Specific Functions ....................................
group channel 的输入信号,在Input channels的output 窗口中来定义。
The Group channel input signals are defined within the Input channels Output display. The top
section of the Group channel Setup display lists all of the currently selected inputs to that group.
The inputs list can be scrolled using the scroll bar to the right if necessary. Below the list there are
two buttons: clear all removes all of the input routes to that group. Pressing this button produces a
confirmation box in which the clear all can be confirmed or cancelled. connect all routes all Input
channels to the group.
Note: With either the connect or clear all functions, you can exclude individual channels from
the function by touching their faders when the button is pressed.
备注:不管是
clear all
还是
connect all
功能,都可以将单个通道排除在外。只需要点击按钮的时候
移动推子即可。
Group channel output routing functions are very much like Input channel output routing.
Group channel的output 路由功能与input channel 的output 路由功能非常相似。
Aux Sends on Groups
Group output 母线能够将声音信号发送到Aux output 母线上。点击output 仪表上
面的Aux send 按钮,
Group output Busses can send audio to Aux output busses. Pressing the Aux send button, located
above the output meter, will open the expanded aux panel and the sends will be assigned to the
under screen rotaries. To access the aux sends for a stereo, LCR, LCRS or 5.1 Group, the Buss
must be unfolded to show the individual legs, each leg having it’s own aux send levels.
1.5.3 Aux Channels Specific Functions ........................................
As the Aux channel input signals are defined within the Input channels, there is no input selection
available within the Aux channel Setup display. There are, however, a number of configuration
options in the top half of the Setup display:
The set all sends buttons at the top of the Setup display affect the sends to that aux bus from all of
the Input channels. The three buttons on the left, pre mute, pre fader and post fader, set the point
in the channel from which the aux send is
taken. The current send point is displayed next to the aux send level in the Input channels.
Note that send points can also be individually selected within the Input channel using the
2nd function button.
Pressing the link pans button, located to the right of the pre mute button, links that aux send pan to
the main channel pan in the Input channels. This button lights red to indicate that it is active. Further
indication is provided by the aux pan slider in the Input channel strip being lit pink. Rev link pans
inverts the link between the channel pan and aux send pan.
Pressing aux to fader assigns control of all input channel’s auxiliary sends to the channel faders.

1.1 Introduction to Channel Types
This chapter describes all of the functions available within the SD channel strips. The first two parts
of the chapter will examine the Input/Setup and Output sections of each of the types of channel strip,
and the third part will cover the in-channel signal processing, which functions in precisely the same
way on each channel type. Those elements which are common to each channel type are dealt with
first, and then those elements which are specific to a channel type are dealt with separately.
In order to understand this chapter, you will find it helpful to have read the "Getting Started" manual
for your console.
1.2 Channel Input Setup - Common Elements
1.2.1 Channel Strip Input Area .....................................................
The channel strip input section is located at the top of the channel strip (shown below for an Input
channel). This is where the channel inputs, snapshot safes, and solo bus feeds are configured.
Some basic controls are displayed in the channel strip. However, most of the input parameters are
contained in the channel Setup display, accessed by touching the channel’s input or filters areas at
the top of the screen. The Setup display also contains a number of channel configuration elements.
Note that channels without an external input selected display a simpler input section than
that shown here. Note also that input channels can display a channel meter which hides the
input and filters sections of the channel strip. Press the 'assign' down button to close the
meter view.
The large pot at the top of the input area of the main channel strip controls the input level, and can be
accessed using the encoder immediately above the channel strip (SD7,8,10) or using the "quick
select" buttons (SD 5, 9,11). For Input channels which have ADC’s assigned to their inputs, this
remotely controls the analogue gain of the mic pre-amp in the I/O rack. For all other input types, this
is a digital level trim. The gain value is displayed to the right of the level pot.
To the left of the pot there is a phase reverse button which is grey when inactive and red when
switched in.
1.2.2 Channel Delays .....................................................................
Delay controls are found in the Setup display. The delay can be switched on using the on button,
which is ringed in red to indicate that it is on. The left-hand blue pot controls the course delay amount
in milliseconds. The right-hand blue pot enables fine adjustments to be made to this amount,
measured in samples. Both pots can be assigned to encoders by touching the on screen control.
on键变红说明已经开启延迟,左边的蓝色灯控制延迟的时间,
It is also possible to enter a specific delay amount using a numeric keypad. To do this, touch the
keypad symbol to the right of the delay on button in the Setup display, select the desired units from
the buttons to the right of the number buttons (seconds, feet, metres, frames or bpm) enter to
amount using the keypad, and press OK.
也可以通过点击左边的键盘图标来输入精确的延迟数字,
Note that altering the delay units in this keypad display will change them wherever they
appear on the console.
注意:一旦更改时间,无论他们在哪里出现都将按时间延迟
1.2.3 DiGiTube/Warmth .................................................................
The digitube area of the Channel Setup panel allows for the emulation of the non-linearities of a
valve amplifier: At low levels the valve is almost linear and at high levels the valve starts to compress
and exhibits “soft clipping.” 低水平的时候几乎是线性放大,高水平的时候 信号开始压缩
Click the on button to activate. The number of times the tube can be activated is dependent on which
SD console you are using. Please refer to the Console comparison chart in the appendix for more
information.不同的SD机子on键可点击次数不同,可以参考附录的参考表。
The drive control increases the gain into the valve and automatically reduces the output gain so that
the volume stays the same (like gain tracking); the indicator shows how hard you are driving the
valve and hence how much distortion is being introduced.
drive控制信号进入的增加量,并且自动减小输出增益以便保持一致。(类似增益追踪)指示器显示
阀门的改变量以及信号失真程度。
The bias control sets the symmetry of the distortion: At 0 the distortion is symmetrical and produces
largely 2nd harmonic (and even) distortions; as the bias is increased, the distortion becomes more
and more asymmetrical and starts adding 3rd (and odd) harmonic distortions. In effect, the bias
controls the characteristics of the distortion; a lower bias produces a softer distortion, whereas as
higher bias produces a harder distortion.
bias设置失真的对称量:值为0时失真是对称的,随着bias值的增加,失真原来可以不对称,并且
出现第三种调和失真。效果上看,bias控制失真的特点,较低的bias参数产生柔和的世珍宝,反之
大的bias参数导致强的失真。
The warmth control (which is hidden if the on button is pressed) switches DIGItube on, sets it to its
default settings, and hides the rest of the controls. There is no limit to the number of times warmth
can be switched on.
1.2.4 Naming Channels and Busses ............................................
A large number of elements within the console can be custom named. Access to the naming facility
is via black and white text boxes with down arrow and keyboard buttons to their right, such as shown
here:
手动创建名字,可以点击文字窗口或者按键右边的键盘图标以唤起QWERTY虚拟键盘,键盘包含标
准的Caps、shift,Delete功能,同时还有剪切、复制、粘贴功能键。可以用来在通道之间拷贝名称
。同时也可以使用外接键盘来输入名称。输入结束之后按OK键来确认,按CAN键以关闭虚拟键盘
而不会改变输入的文字。
要修改下一个频道的名称可以按NEXT或者外接键盘的tap键。
To create a name manually, touch the text box or the keyboard symbol to its right to bring up a
QWERTY keyboard display. This keyboard includes standard Caps, Shift and Delete functions, as
well as Cut, Copy and Paste functions which can be used to move name text between channels.
The arrow buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the keyboard display move the cursor within the
text box. Create the new name, either using the on-screen keyboard display or the external
keyboard, and press OK. To close the keyboard display without changing the name, press CAN. To
move the keyboard display to the following channel, press Next (or TAB on the external keyboard).
The Channel Name display enables commonly used words to be inserted quickly without the use of
the keyboard. This facility is available not only when naming channels but also when naming other
elements. To open the Channel Name display, touch the down arrow immediately to the right of the
Setup display’s channel name text box.
打开Channel Name可以不经过键盘输入快速选取合适的通道名称。通过点击向下箭头图标来打开
channel name 窗口。
Chapter 1 - Channel Types
Touching any word from the display inserts that word into the channel name text box. Further words
can then be added to the channel name in the same way, divided by a single space. Numeric and
L/R identifiers can be added from the column down the right-hand edge of the display. Text can be
entered in CAPS or Initial Caps by pressing the CAPS and Initial Cap buttons in the top of the
display. If neither of these are selected, all text is inserted in lower case.
Note that the first text to be inserted from the Channel Name display when it is opened
overwrites all previ- ous text.
注意:从channel name 阵列选择的名称会直接覆盖原有的名称
Note also that text that extends beyond the end of the text box will not be visible!
In addition to the standard word set, a list of user-defined words can be created and inserted by
pressing the custom button, located next to the Initial Cap button. The button lightens to indicate
that the custom set is displayed.
To
add a new word to the custom set, touch the box which you want to use and press edit, located next
to the custom button, to bring up a QWERTY keyboard display. Type the required word and press
OK. In this keyboard display, the Next button saves any text inserted in the current box and moves
the keyboard to the next box in the custom list. To cancel the keyboard display, press CAN within the
display, or press edit again. The words in the custom list are inserted into the channel name text box
in exactly the same way as words in the standard list. Pressing custom again returns the display to
the standard word set.
Tip: As custom names appear in the box in which they are typed, they are not automatically
alphabetised. The user may find it helpful to define a system for ordering the custom page.
Note also that the standard word set cannot be edited.
The current name can be cleared by touching the CLEAR button towards the top right-hand corner of
the Channel Name display. The Channel Name display can be closed by touching the CLOSE box,
in the top right-hand corner.
1.2.5 Channel
The Channel Safes area of the Setup display defines which parts of the channel will be not be
affected when snapshots are
recalled to this channel.
channel safes (通道锁定)区域能够控制不受快照影响的通道内容。图示显示的是
输入channel的锁定,输出channels有一系列的列表。
Note that the above diagram displays the Input channel safes. Output channels display a
smaller list of available channel safes.
Select whichever parts of the channel you want to protect in this way by touching the appropriate
button. To cancel a safe, press the relevant button again. The buttons turn red to indicate that they
are safed. The presence of safes within the channel is also indicated by the label of the appropriate
channel part turning red and the background colour of that channel’s name also turning red.
点击要锁定的内容按钮,按钮变红表示已经被锁定,再按一次相同按键来取消锁定。
The EQ and dynamics settings can also be safed and unsafed from within the eq and dynamics
displays. The whole channel can also be safed and unsafed by pressing the SAFE button at the
bottom of on-screen channel (offline software), . It is grey to indicate that some elements of the
channel are not safed, and red to indicate that the entire channel is safed.
整个通道也可以被锁定,通过点击屏幕通道地段的SAFE按钮来实现。
注:通道锁定仅在快照回放中起到保护作用。在使用复制、粘贴和重置功能时不会受到影响。
Channel elements which have been safed are indicated by their text displaying red in the channel
strip.
Tip: When some elements of the channel are safed, a double-press on the SAFE button can
be used to quickly clear all channel safes (SD5, SD7).
Note: Channel safes refer specifically to snapshot recalls and do not protect channel
settings when using the copy from, copy to and presets functions described below.
1.2.6 Copy Channels …………………………………………………………….
相关通道的设置可以实现通道间的复制。copy from:拷贝其他通道的设置到本通道
;点击copy from按钮以打开复制通道列表。
The Channel Settings area of the Setup display allow channel settings to be copied between
channels. The left and right arrow
buttons are used to move the Setup display to
adjacent channels.
The copy from button allows settings to be copied from other
channels to this channel and those to its right: Pressing copy from opens up a Copy Channels
display:
The extent of the channel settings to be copied is selected using the scope buttons towards the
bottom of the display. Each button lightens to indicate that it is included in the copy function. The
number of source channels to be copied is defined either by selecting the appropriate grey
numbered button, or by selecting the keypad button to the right of the numbered buttons, typing the
required number of source channels into the numeric keypad which appears, and pressing OK.
Press the LCD button (shown below) on the left-most source channel in order to action the channel
copy. If more than one source channel has been selected, the settings of appropriate number of
channels to the right of the source channel will copy to the channels to the right of the destination
channel (The current Assigned channel).
需要拷贝的通道设置内容可以通过在 scope键下选择相应通道。
例如:要拷贝1-8频道的EQ设置到9-16频道,将通道9作为指定频道,点击copy from按钮,在频
道复制窗口的scope区域选择eq键;设置频道数为8,点击频道1的LCD/select键。
For example, to copy the EQ settings on channels 1-8 to channels 9-16 respectively:
- Make channel 9 the Assigned channel and touch copy from
- In the scope area of the Copy Channels display, select only the eq button
- Set the number of channels to be 8.
- Press the LCD/select button on channel 1.
The copy to button allows settings to be copied from this channel to other channels: Pressing copy

copy to功能能够将本通道的设置拷贝到其他的通道:
方法:点击copy to 打开copy channels窗口(不同于copy from按钮打开的窗口);选择scopy下
面的要复制的通道设置,按钮点亮说明复制成功。
如果要选择多个通道复制此设置,可以通过手动点击通道名称按钮,或者在右边的虚拟键盘中输入通
道数字后点击OK。
点击通道最左端的LCD按钮来启动通道复制,如果选择了多个目标通道,本通道的相关设置将分别
复制到目的地通道上。
Note that this is a different Copy Channels display from that opened by the copy from button.
The extent of the channel settings to be copied is selected using the scope buttons towards the
bottom of the display. Each button lightens to indicate that it is included in the copy function. The
number of destination channels to which this channel’s settings will be copied is defined either by
selecting the appropriate grey numbered button, or by selecting the button to the right of the
numbered buttons, typing the required number of source channels into the numeric keypad which
appears, and pressing OK. Press the LCD button (shown above) on the left-most destination
channel in order to action the channel copy. If more than one destination channel has been selected,
the settings of the source channel will copy to the appropriate number of channels to the right of the
selected destination channel.
例如要将ch1的EQ设置拷贝到ch9-16:1.将ch1作为指定通道,点击copy to;在scope区域选择
eq选项,设置通道数目为8,在ch9处按LCD/select按钮。
For example, to copy the EQ settings on channel 1 to channels 9-16:
- Make channel 1 the Assigned channel and touch copy to
- In the scope area of the Copy Channels display, select only the eq button
- Set the number of channels to be 8.
- Press the LCD/select button on channel 9.
If a copy from or copy to function is actioned by mistake, it can be undone by pressing the
undo previous copy button in the current Copy Channels display.
如果copy from或者copy to功能键被误操作,可以通过点击undo previous copy 按钮来取消之前的
操作。
注意:使用copy to功能能复制一个通道的设置到多个其他的通道;而使用copy from 功能能够复制
一组通道的设置到另一组通道中。
Tip: Use copy to for copying one channel’s settings to a number of other channels;
Use copy from to copy the settings of a group of channels to another group of
channels.
1.2.7 Channel Presets ....................................................................
通道预设用来储存和唤起通道的设置,
Presets are used for storing and recalling settings for channels, fx units, graphic EQs and the
matrix. While each preset functions slightly differently, this section provides a basic
understanding of how to use the various preset displays:
preset窗口的左侧包含可选用的通道名称,点击某一通道可以在右边看到可设置的下拉列表名称。
The left-hand column of a preset display contains the available groups of presets, and touching one
of these groups brings up the list of presets within that group in the column to its right (name). The
columns to the right of the preset name displays the number of channels whose settings are included
in the preset (chs) (Channel and Matrix presets only), the date and time it was created or updated
(notes), and whether or not it is locked (lock).
Chs:只有通道和矩阵预置; notes:创建或者更新的日期和时间
lock:是否锁定
Note that a presets display will only list presets of the relevant type.
注意:预置功能只显示相关类型的列表
To recall a preset, touch the name of the group containing the preset you wish to recall, and then
touch the preset’s name. The recall scope buttons at the bottom of the some preset displays allow
you to select which elements are recalled and which elements remain unchanged. The buttons are
included in the recall when they are lit.
唤醒预设:点击需要唤醒的group名称;然后再点击预设名;在有些预设表的底部有唤醒范围按钮,
可供选择需要操作的选项。
To save the current settings as a new preset, touch the group in which you want the preset to be
stored and press the new button. The new preset is automatically named according to the preset
type. To alter the preset’s name, type the new name using the keyboard display that appears (or the
external keyboard) then, if relevant, touch and edit the number of channels’ settings that you want to
store in the preset (the default is one channel). Now touch OK.
保存现有设定作为一个新的预设:选择待选对象组名然后点击new按钮,根据预设类型自动生成新的
预设名。要更改名字可以使用虚拟键盘。然后点击OK。
Note that pressing CAN in the keyboard display will cancel the display but create the new
preset with its default name.
注意:点击键盘上的CAN键将直接创建一个新的默认预设名
To save the settings as an update of a previous preset, press update, touch the preset you wish to
overwrite, and press Yes in the confirmation display which appears.
想要更改之前的设定,可以使用update键,选择要重置的preset名,点击Yes。
Note that when updating a previous preset, failing to press update will result in the preset you
wish to overwrite being recalled, and the settings to be saved being lost.
注意:如果忘记点击update键,将丢失新更改的设置并唤醒原始的预设。
To create a new group of presets, press new group. A new group will be created, called group n,
where n is the next available preset group number. To alter the group’s name, type the new name
using the keyboard display that appears (or the external keyboard) and touch OK.
创建一个新的预设组:选择new group,将创建一个名为group n的新组,n表示下一个可用的组号
。可以用虚拟键盘或外接键盘更改名称,最后点击OK。
Note that pressing CAN in the keyboard display will cancel the display but create the new
group with its default name.
注意:点击虚拟键盘的CAN将取消显示并以默认名称创建一个新组
The edit name button allows preset names and group names to be edited, and the preset to be
locked, preventing them from being edited, overwritten, or deleted. The button lightens to indicate
that it is active. To edit a preset’s name, make sure the preset is unlocked (see below), activate the
edit name button and touch the preset’s name. Type the new name in the keyboard display and
press OK. To edit a preset group name, activate the edit name button and touch the group name.
Type the new name in the keyboard display and press OK.
edit name 键可以更改预设名或者组名、锁定、防止被更改、重写或者删除。如果要编辑预设名,要
确认预设属于非锁定状态;激活edit name键,然后点击预设名;键入新名称然后点击OK。编辑预
设组名的操作类似。
To lock the preset, activate the edit name button and touch the preset’s lock column. A grey padlock
appears, indicating that the preset is now locked. Touching the lock again with edit name active
unlocks the preset.
lock键能够锁定和激活edit name键,灰色显示此时处于锁定状态,再次点击lock键可以解锁。
To delete a preset, press delete, touch the preset to be deleted, and press confirm. To delete a
consecutive range of presets, press delete followed by select range, touch the first and last preset
to be deleted and press confirm. To delete one preset, or a nonconsecutive range, touch each
preset to be deleted and press confirm. To delete an entire group of presets, press delete followed
by select all, then press confirm.
删除:点击delete>点击preset名>点击confirm(确认)如果要删除连续的预设,选择整个区域在点
击delete。选择第一个和最后一个预设然后点击confirm。如果只是删除一个预设或者非连续区域的
预设选择每一个预设然后点击confirm。如果要删除整个组的预设,全选后点击delete,然后点击
confirm。
1.2.8 Channel Solos .......................................................................
频道独奏监听(独立监听按钮)
SD consoles have two solo busses, and each channel can be assigned to solo 1, solo 2 or both
solo 1 and 2. If the console was being used for Stage monitors, this would allow, for example, the
first solo buss to feed In-Ear monitors and the second solo buss to feed a wedge.
SD 系列的操控台提供两种solo busses,每一个频道Ch能够制定成solo1,solo2,或者solo1和2.
如果操作台用在舞台监控,可以实现第一个solo buss用在入耳式反送监听,第二个solo buss 可以
监听舞台箱。
注意:solo buss配置在master solo 列表里,通过点击主屏(Master screen)顶部的Solos button
进入。
Note: The solo busses are configured in the master solo displays, accessed by pressing the
Solos button at the top of the Master Screen.
The channel’s solo routing is assigned in the section at the bottom section of the channel Setup
display. Pressing the green solo 1 and solo 2 buttons enables the channel to be routed to solo
busses 1 and 2 respectively. The buttons are green to indicate that the solo buss is available, and
grey to indicate that it isn’t.
通道的solo配置是在通道设置列表底部,点击绿色的solo1,solo2可以相应地给通道配置成solo 母
线1和2。按钮变绿显示该solo 母线是可以用的,否则灰色显示不可用。
注意:每一个通道ch必须配置至少一路solo 母线
Note that each channel must be enabled for at least one solo buss.
When the blue auto solo buttons are active (indicated by white, rather than grey, text), that channel
is automatically routed to that solo buss whenever another channel is soloed to that buss.
当蓝色的auto solo(自动监听)按钮是激活状态,当另外一个通道监听这条母线的时候本通道将自动
路由到另外的那个通道上。
Note that a list of channels with auto solo enabled is displayed in the auto solo section of the
master solo display. The auto solo function has to be activated by pressing the blue enabled
button below the auto solo list in the master solo display. Auto solo is disabled when in
single solo mode.
注意:自动监听通道列表显示在master 监听列表里,通过点击master solo display自动监听列表
下面的蓝色按钮来激活自动监听功能。在单独监听模式下(single solo mode)自动监听暂停。
Tip: If you are using effects returns, selecting auto solo can allow soloed tracks to be
auditioned with their effects returns.
Tip:如果在使用效果返回,选择自动监听功能将允许追踪效果回响。
1.3 Channel Output and Inserts - Common Elements
1.3.1 Channel
Strip Output Area ...................................................
频道输出和插入
ch带状输出区域
The channel strip output area makes up the lower half of the Channel Strip panel (shown below for
an input channel). This is where the channel output routes are configured (including Aux outputs in
the case of Input channels).
通道带状输出区域位于通道带状表的下半部分(上面是输入区域),
Each channel also has two inserts: insert A and insert B. Both inserts follow the format (mono or
stereo) of their channel. The channel strip insert areas are located above the eq section (insert A)
and below the 2nd Dynamics section (insert B), and their signals are sent and returned to that
position within the signal path: insert A is pre-signal processing (but post filters), and insert B is post
signal-processing. Only one point, either insert A or insert B, can be used per channel on SD9 or
SD11.
insert A和insert B都有两种格式单声道和立体声(mono or stereo),insert区域在EQ和2nd Dynamics
区域之间,
信号路线:insert A 信号处理前(pre-signal processing)(在过滤器后面);insert B是信号处理后
。insert A和insert B在每个通道里面都可以使用。
Post-Fade Inserts
Up to 32 mono input channels can have their insert B point switched to a post fader insert point using
the button in the Output Setup panel.
在output setup panel(输出设置面板)里可以将输入通道的insert B 指向转换到推子后插入(post fader
insert)
Note that Multi channels do not have their own insert controls – each multi-channel
component's insert points are configured individually.
备注:多通道没有自己的插入控制,每一个多通道组分的插入点都是各自分别控制的。
Some basic output and insert functions are found in the channel strip. However, most of the output
and insert parameters are contained in the channel Output display, accessed by touching the
channel’s output or insert areas.
在频道输出窗口包含有大部分的输出和插入参数,通过点击相关区域来设置。
Note that on Input channels, an aux display is opened by touching the aux area. To open the
Output display, touch in the muting and naming area below the pan control.
备注:在输入通道里,点击aux区域可以显示aux功能,通过点击控制盘下面的静音和命名区域可
以打开输入设置。如果在session structure里有多通道母线,控制表的显示将与之前的不同
Note that if there are any multi-channel busses in the Session Structure, the pan display will
be different from that shown above.
For all output channel types, there is a channel meter displayed in the channel strip. For Input
channels, this part of the channel strip contains the aux outputs, as shown above. On stereo and
multi-channel format channels, symbols below each meter indicates which component is displayed.
LFE channels are indicated by a small box with a dot in it.
在所有通道输出类型中有一个channel meter displayed,对于输入通道(input ch)通道带的这一部
分包含aux 输出,在立体声和多通道格式的通道里每一个仪表下面显示组成成分。
LFE通道通过一个带有点的小箱子的图标来显示。
Note that input channels can display a meter in the top section of the channel strip. Meter
sources are defined in the Options menu, described in the Master Section
备注:输入通道能够在通道区顶端显示数据,数据源在选择按钮那定义。详见Master Section
Below the meters section of output channels, there is an fx output button. This button brings up
either the controller display for the effects preset that has been assigned, or the fx Presets display if
no preset has been assigned.
在输出meters section的下面,有一个fx output 按钮,这个按钮能够唤起预设效果(已存在预设)
,或者指定预设
Note that below the aux section of an Input channel, there is a pan control in place of the fx
output button. When an effects preset has been assigned to that channel's Direct Out,
touching this pan control brings up the FX preset controller display.
备注:在input channel下面的aux区域,在fx 输出按钮处有一个表盘控制。当一个效果预设分配
给该通道的Direct out(直接输出),点击这个pan 控制能够唤起fx 预设控制设置。
Towards the bottom of the channel strip there is a scribble strip text box displaying the channel
names.
Note that the channel naming facility is found in both the channel Setup and Outputs
displays.
Below the channel name, there is indication of the lowest group (Grp:) output (along with indication
of the lowest direct output (Dir:) in the case of Input channels), and indication of any control group
(CG:) to which the channel belongs.
The on-screen channel has MUTE and HARD indicators located above the scribble strip. Pressing
the work surface MUTE button (above the LCD button) silences all outputs from the channel apart
from any which have been assigned pre-mute (this option is available for auxes and direct outs).
Pressing the work surface 2nd Function button to activate the HARD mute silences all outputs from
the channel, including those which are assigned pre-mute. A dedicated HARD mute button can be
found on both SD5 and SD7 work surfaces.
在屏幕上的通道区域有MUTE(静音)和HARD显示。点击工作区域的MUTE按钮(在LCD按钮上面
)将启动输出静音。除非该通道属于auxes的 pre-mute或者direct outs。
点击第二功能键(2nd Function)来激活HARD mute 静音所有从本通道输出的信号,包含被设置了
pre-mute的通道。
Immediately below the HARD button, there is a numeric display of the channel’s main fader value in
dB. Below the MUTE button there is a CG MUTE Indicator which shows when the channel is muted
as the result of its membership of a muted Control Group. At in the bottom left-hand corner of the
channel strip, there is a GANG display. To the right of the GANG button there is a SAFE button. This
indicates that one or more of the channel's recall safes have been activated.
在HARD按钮下面有一个数字窗口,显示主推子的dB值。在MUTE按钮下面有一个CG MUTE
Indicator显示通道被静音控制组静音情况。
底部的GANG,SAFE按钮,显示一个或者多个channel’s recall safes 已经被激活。
1.3.2 Channel Strip Insert Areas ...................................................
频道输入区域
Channel strip insert areas include a button for switching that insert send on and off. The button is
grey when the send is off, and red when it is on. 按钮红色显示insert 发送开启
Below the on/off button, there is a display of the current insert routing. The send route is displayed on
the left, prefixed by S:, and the return route is displayed on the right, prefixed by R:. If no
routing has been selected, these areas are blank apart from these prefixes. If the channel is stereo,
only the left side of the insert routing is displayed.
在on/off 按钮下面有一个插入路由显示。左边是发送路由,前缀为S:,返回路由在右边,前缀为R:
。如果没有选择任何路由前缀旁边的区域是空白的,如果通道是立体声,只有左边的插入路由是显示
状态。
1.3.3 Console Output and Insert Routing .....................................
The Output displays for all channel types allow direct routing either to the external IO racks, or to
one of a variety of internal locations, for both the channel’s main output (or direct output in the case of
Input channels), and its insert send and return.
所有通道类型都可以选择output来想外部IO racks 或者内部的不同地方直接路由。同时包括通道的
主输出(或者输出通道的直接输出direct out)以及插入发送和返回。
In addition to touching inside the output area of the channel strip, it is also possible to open each
channel's Outputs display from the Channel Lists display, opened from the Master Screen's
Layout menu: Activate the Edit button at the base of the display, expand the required channel type
by touching its entry in the list, then touch the output column within the required channel row. An
outputs display will open within the Master Screen:
除了通过点击通道显示条的输出区域out put area来打开输出显示外,还可以从主屏幕的Layout menu
菜单里面打开每一个通道的outputs display。
步骤:激活底部的Edit按钮,在列表里面点击进入按钮entry来扩展需要的通道类型;然后在需要的
通道排里面点击output column。就可以在主屏幕打开输出显示(outputs display)
Towards the bottom of the Outputs display, there are three buttons marked output (direct in Input
channels), insert A and insert B. Selecting one of these buttons assigns that send (or send and
return) to the signal routing area above it: When either insert is assigned, the ins A send or ins B
send routing button appears in the left-hand column, and the ins A return or ins B return routing
button in the right-hand column; When the output (direct output in Input channels) is assigned, the
outputs (direct outs in Input channels) routing button appears in the left-hand column and the
right-hand column is left blank. Pressing any of these routing buttons opens a routing display.
在outputs显示的底部有三个按钮分别为output(直接在输入频道)、insert A和insert B。选择一个
按钮给它上面的信号路由区域指定发送或者发送返回。当指派任意一个插入通道ins A或者B时,在左
手边的路由按钮将显示ins A或者ins B send. 返回路由按钮(ins A return或者ins B return)在右边
。当指定输出(输入通道里面的direct output 直接输出),输出路由按钮显示在左边的column右边
的column是空白。点击任何路由按钮将打开一个路由显示。
An extra button labelled send+return is included above the ports list in the Insert Send Route
display button. When this button is activated, the send and return routing is linked for all signals
within the INTERNAL port: If the Graphic 1 input is assigned to the insert send, the Graphic 1
output is automatically assigned to that insert return. Similarly, if it is the return which is manually
assigned, the send automatically copies that send assignment. The send+return button is grey
when inactive and brown when active.
一个额外的标题为send+return(发送加返回)的按钮包含在插入路由里面的ports list里面。当这个
按钮被激活,接受和返回路由将与所有internal port(内部端口)的信号相连接;如果Graphic 1输
入以及指派给插入发送(insert send),graphic 1的output将自动指派给那个插入返回。同样的,
如果手动指定了返回,发送将自动复制那个发送指派。Send+return按钮棕色的时候是激活状态,灰
色的时候是关闭状态
The mono > mono and mono > stereo buttons are used when routing a mono channel to internal fx
units and Waves plug-ins (where available). When mono > mono is selected, the channel signal is
routed to left side of an fx unit, or to a mono Waves rack input. When mono > stereo is selected, the
channel is routed to both sides of the fx unit or Waves rack.
当将一个mono channel路由到内部fx 单元,和波动插入程序(waves plug-ins)时就使用mono >
mono 和 mono > stereo按钮。如果选择mono > mono ,频道信号将路由到左边的一个fx 单元,
或者去mono waves rack input。当选择mono > stereo频道将路由到两边的fx 单元或者waves rack
。
1.3.4 FX Presets .............................................................................
Each channel output or insert send can be sent to an internal FX Unit. Pressing the fx presets button
at the bottom of the Outputs display brings up the fx Presets display. The fx preset is applied to
whichever channel output is active in the Outputs display when the fx presets button is pressed: the
main channel output (or direct output), insert send A or insert send B:
每一个通道的output或者插入发送可以发送给内部的FX单元。点击outputs显示底部的fx presets
按钮将唤起fx presets 显示。当频道的Fx preset按钮属于激活状态,fx preset将指派给相应的在输
出显示中频道输出是激活状态的频道。频道主输出(直接输出,direct output),插入发送A或者插
入发送B。(insert send A 或者insert send B)
Note that column widths can be adjusted by dragging their borders within the title row. To
return all columns to their default widths, press RESET WIDTHS, in the top left-hand corner
of the window.
备注:可以通过拽动标题的边框来调整

1.4 Input Channel Specific Functions
输入通道的特殊功能
1.4.1 Trim
削波和track(音轨)
On Input channels which a mic or line input, there is a trim section at the bottom of the channel strip’s
input area, consisting of a smaller pot marked trim and a track on/off button. The trim pot digitally
trims the level of the input signal, and the level adjustment is displayed to the right of the pot in dB. If
track is switched on, the trim level automatically compensates for any adjustments made to the
analogue input level: If the analogue input level is increased, the trim level will decrease in order to
keep the signal level coming through the channel at the same level. This function is particularly
useful when the analogue level is being controlled from another console, such as when this console
is running monitor mixes and another console is running Front of House. Control of the trim pot and
track on/off button can be assigned to the encoder and button above/below the channel using the
assign scrollers to the left of the encoders or the quick select buttons. 6
在输入通道底部的输入区域有一个trim模块,包含一个小的trim pot和一个track on/off 按钮。Trim pot
能够调节输入信号的数字水平,并以dB的形式在pot的右边进行显示。如果track是打开的状态,trim
水平将对给类似输入水平(analogue input level)做的任何调整进行自动的补偿:如果analogue input
level增加,trim level将会降低以保持进入通道的信号水平保持不变。这个功能对于analogue level
是被另一台控制器所控制的情况下特别有用,例如当这个控制器是running monitor mixes,另一台控
制器是running Front of House。
Relative Gain-Tracking - Snapshot Recalls Total Gain
“Relative Gain-Tracking” is implemented as a “Snapshot Recalls Total Gain” option at the bottom of
the Snapshot Global Scope panel. When a snapshot recalls an input channel trim, it compares the
snapshot’s stored analogue gain against the current gain on the channel’s input socket. If there’s a
difference it offsets the value recalled by the trim. This only happens when the socket’s rack is in
Receive Only, or the analog gain is not in Recall Scope.
“相对增益追踪”relative gain-Tracking通过位于Snapshot Global Scope panel(快照通用范围面板
)底部的“Snapshot Recalls Total Gain”(快照调出总增益)选项来实现的。当一个快照找回一次输
入通道微调(input channel trim),它将比较快照所储存的相似增益与输入通道socket 的现有增益
。如果有不同它将对trim的招回值进行补偿,当socket‘s rack 是只接受状态的时候能够实现,或者
类增益不在Recall
1.4.2 Input Routing .........................................................................
Inputs are routed using the channel Setup display, opened by touching in the input area of the
channel strip. It is also possible to open the display from the Channel List display, opened from the
Master Screen's Layout menu: Activate the Edit button at the base of the display, expand the
required channel type by touching its entry in the list, then touch the output column within the
required channel row. A Setup display will open within the Master Screen:
输入路由:通过频道设置区对inputs进行路由分配,听过点击频道的输入区来打开。同时还可
以从频道列表里面打开单个通道,从master界面的的Layout 菜单打开:激活区域底部的Edit
按钮,通过点击列表里面的entry来设定,然后点击需要的频道row之间的输出区域。如此即可
在主屏幕上打开设置表。
The buttons at the top of the channel Setup display to define the format of the channel: mono or
stereo. 在频道setup区域的顶部有按钮可以定义频道的格式,单声道或者立体声。
Note that Multi-channel formats are configured in a different way from mono and stereo
formats, as de- scribed later in this chapter
备注:多通道模式与
mono stereo
格式是不同的模式,
As the channel format affects a number of functions within the Setup display, it is advisable to select
the format before any further configuration takes place. The current format of the channel is indicated
in the channel strip by the number of meters displayed: One meter for mono channels and two for
stereo. 因为频道格式影响setup 区域的数个功能,因此有必要在任何后续的操作之前先行选择格式,
通道现有格式可以通过channel strip的仪表显示独处:一个表显示单声道,两个显示立体声。
For mono channels, each input channel has two inputs: a main input and an alternative input. These
are selected using the main button in the channel strip. The button is grey when the main input is
selected and red when the alt input is selected. The input can also be selected using the main and
alt buttons towards the top of the Setup display. These buttons light to indicate which one is
currently selected. For stereo channels, the alternative input becomes the right side of the stereo
input, and therefore no main and alt input selection buttons are shown.
在单声道,每一个输出ch有两个inputs: 一个主输入和一个altnative输入(辅助)。通过使用channel
strip的主按钮来选择,main input情况下按钮是灰色的而alt input情况下按钮是红色。同时也可以通过
点击位于setup display (设置区域)顶部的main 和alt 按钮来选择main或者alt。按钮点亮说明该功能
被激活。
立体声通道下,alt input在stereo input 右边,因此没有可显示的main 和alt输入选择按钮。
The inputs available on an Input channel include feeds from the external IO racks, the local inputs on
the back of the console and a variety of internal signals. Pressing either the main input or alt input
routing button in the Setup display opens the Input Route display. The signal feeding each input
can then be selected as described in the Getting Started section of this manual.
Input channel里可用的输入源包含外接IO racks(IO 接口箱),位于控制台后边的本地输入口以及各
种内部信号。在setup 区域点击main input 或者alt input路由按钮将打开输入路由显示。可以在此选择
每一个输入的信号源。
1.4.3 Input Configuration(输入配置) ...............................................................
If a channel is stereo, balance and width controls appear below the mono and stereo buttons: The
left-hand blue pot controls the balance and can be reset to centre by pressing the centre button
below it. The right-hand blue pot effects the width of the stereo signal, with a range from mono to
wide. The width can be reset to stereo be pressing the stereo button beneath the width pot. The
value of the balance and width is displayed to the right of each pot as a percentage divergence.
如果通道是立体声,平衡和幅度控制显示在mono 和stereo按钮下面:左手边的蓝色pot控制平衡,通
过点击下面的centre按钮能够把它重置为中间点。右手边的蓝色pot显示立体声信号的width(幅度)
,从mono到wide。通过点击width pot 下面的stereo按钮可以将幅度重置为立体声。平衡和幅度值在
每一个pot的右边以数字发散百分数来显示。
Stereo channels also have an m-s button, located above the input routing button, which switches in
a decode function for replaying M-S signals as a normal stereo pair. There are three further buttons
in this panel: L<>R swaps the channel’s left and right outputs, L>L+R sends the left signal to both left
and right busses, and R>L+R sends the right signal to both left and right busses.
Stereo channels(立体声通道)也有一个m-s按钮,位于input 路由按钮上面。M-s具有解码功能,能
够将m-s信号以普通立体声的形式重播。这个表盘有三个功能键:L<>R能够调换频道的左右输出。
L>L+R可以将左边的信号同时发送给左右两边母线。R>L+R则能将右边的信号发送给左右两边母线
1.4.4 Channel Metering .................................................................
频道测量
Channel meters can be displayed in the top section of the Input channel strip, in place of the input
and filters areas. To do this, screen scroll (SD9, SD11) up button, located on the console
worksurface. If these encoders are initially assigned to the trim function, you will need to press the
rotary assign up button twice to display the meters.
If you adjust any parameter which is hidden by the meters, the meters will be hidden
momentarily, allowing adjustments to be viewed.
1.4.5 Output Routing .....................................................................
输出路由:信号从输入通道提供给四个不同的区域:aux母线,group母
线,插入发送insert sends以及直接输出direct outputs。
Signals can be fed from Input channels to four different places: aux busses, group
busses, insert sends and direct outputs. Insert routing and basic direct output routing
are described in the Getting Started Manual.
The top half of the output section of the Input channel strip contains the aux buss
controls, as previous described. Below the auxes, there is a pan control, affecting the
relative levels of the channel’s left and right outputs to any stereo routing
destinations. The controls are formatted to match the format of the buss with the most
components:
在auxes 下面有一个pan 控制,影响频道左右输出到任何立体声路由的相对比例水平。
- Where there are only stereo or LCR busses, a simple pan slider is shown (see
below left). Move the slider to adjust the pan. A text box indicates the panning position as a
percentage from the centre towards the right.
1.4.6 Aux Busses and Assignable Controls ..................................
Within an Input channel strip, each aux send has a level trim and on/off switch to the right. The switch
is grey to indicate that the send is off, and red to indicate that it is on. The trim level is displayed in dB
on the right of the channel strip, underneath the aux number. There are three places within the
channel from which the aux sends can be fed, as indicated by the source display immediately to the
right of the level trim:
PRE Pre-fader
POST Post-fader
Pre-M Pre-mute (and pre-fader)
The source position can be changed by pressing the worksurface 2nd function button and using the
switches below the aux send encoders. The source for each aux can also be adjusted globally via
the aux channel’s Setup display.
On stereo aux sends, there is a pan control to the right of the on/off switch. This can be adjusted by
pressing the worksurface 2nd function button and using the rows of encoders below the
worksurface screen. The pan controls for each aux can be globally linked to the channel fader via the
aux channel’s Setup display.
The auxes controlled by these encoders and buttons can be selected using the scroll buttons to the
left of the top encoder, and is indicated by purple ring on the on-screen aux sends.
Note that this assignment is channel specific and will be recalled if the Assigned channel is
changed and returned to that channel.
The encoders and buttons immediately below the Channel Strip can be used to control either the aux
sends, or a separate function. This function is referred to as the ‘locked’ function, as it does not
change when the auxes are moved. The button at the end of each row, next to the LCD display, flips
the assignment of that row between the aux sends and the locked function. Touching any on-screen
aux send assigns the highest available encoder row to that send, and assigns any other available
encoder rows to the aux sends below it. The scroll button outside the bottom left-hand corner of the
screen can also be used to change which auxes are assigned to the encoders. (SD5,7,8,10)
Note that only six auxes can be displayed in the Channel Strip panel at once. The panel will
always display the auxes assigned to the encoder rows below it. This means that the auxes
controlled by the dedicated aux encoders in the channel worksurface controls may not be
visible.
By default, the encoders control the aux level and the button controls the aux on/off status. However,
by pressing the 2nd function button (located on the surface), the button becomes the aux’s source
selector (toggling between PRE, POST or Pre-M), and the encoder becomes the pan control of a
stereo channel. On mono auxes, the encoder has no second function.
It is also possible to show all of the aux sends for a channel in a single display and assign them to the
rotaries beneath the screen. This is done by assigning the required channel to the aux controls (the
assigned auxes will be displayed in dark purple with a dark purple surround) then touching one of the
assigned auxes. The layout of the display indicates which encoder each aux is assigned to; if there
are more sends than rotaries, the assignments becomes scrollable using the Screen Scroll
function. The Picture below shows an SD7 with 36 Sends.
Once you have adjusted the auxes in this display, you need to close it manually before opening any
other channel detail display.
Note that further worksurface assignments of auxes is available via the Surface, Faders and
Solo tabs of the Options menu.
1.4.7 Group Outputs .......................................................................
Group outputs are routed from within the groups section of the channel Outputs display. Touching
the mono button to the left of the display produces a list of available mono groups in the right of the
display, and touching the stereo or surround format buttons produces a list of the other types of
group. These buttons 'light' to indicate that it is their group outputs list which is currently displayed,
and 'half-light' to indicate that there is routing to busses of that format which isn't shown in the
display. Touching any of the groups within each list routes the channel to that group. Each channel
can be routed to as many mono and stereo groups as have been created.
Any mono groups being fed by a stereo channel will receive a L+R summed signal of the channel
output. The lowest selected group output is displayed in the channel strip, below the left side of the
channel name, and the currently selected direct output is displayed below the right side of the
channel name.
When a new session is created, the lowest numbered stereo group is always designated the Master.
Therefore, all input channels are routed to it by default, and the master fader(s) are assigned to it.
当创建新的对话的时候,最低数字的立体声group都会指定为Master,因此所有的输入通道都会默认
路由到Master频道。
1.4.8DirectOutputs .......................................................................
直接输出
direct out默认为推子后(post-fader),但是可以转换为推子前或者静音前。
Basic routing is described in your console's Getting Started section. Once the direct output has been
routed, it is switched on by pressing the grey on button next to the output level meter in the grey area
below the direct outs routing button. The direct out is taken post-fader by default, but can be
switched to pre-fader or pre mute by pressing the button to the right of the on button. The current
selection is displayed to the right of the button.
1.5 Output Channels Specific Functions
1.5.1 Unfolding Channels ..............................................................
Group and Aux Channels which are stereo or surround have an Unfold button above their meters,
which is used to display the components of the signal in their own channel strip with a master
channel displayed to their left.
In the top section of the unfolded Master channel, buttons for each component channel allow you to
define which channel's elements are displayed in the Folded View.
In the middle area of the unfolded Master channel, the links between component channels can be
edited. Links function in the same way as Gangs, but are limited to the components of a
multi-channel signals. To edit links, press the Set Links button so that it goes red, then press the
LINK buttons above the channel meters in the channels to be linked or unlinked - each button will
take on the same colour, indicating that they are linked. To remove a link, press the LINK button
while Set Links is active. Note that if you start a set of links and then de-link and re-link another
channel, a new link set will be started, as indicated by the introduction of a new link colour. When you
have finished linking channels, deselect Set Links. You can also clear all links and link all using
the buttons below Set Links.
Set links 设置连接-》灯变红-》点击Link按钮->所有按钮都变成同一种颜色,表示它们是关联的。
Note that if component channels have different settings when linked, changes in hidden,
linked channels will be made relative to the change in the Folded View channel, but the
display will only reflect the Folded View channel.
注意:
如果相互关联的子通道有不同的设置,
Below the link buttons in the master, there are buttons for each element in the components' channels
- trim & delay, filters & eq, dynamics and faders & mutes. Pressing one of these buttons will
cause that element in all the channels to match those of the Folded channel. Once you have
finished with the unfolded view, press the FOLD button to fold the channels back together. The
picture below shows a 5.1 Buss from an SD5/SD7
1.5.2 Group Channels Specific Functions ....................................
group channel 的输入信号,在Input channels的output 窗口中来定义。
The Group channel input signals are defined within the Input channels Output display. The top
section of the Group channel Setup display lists all of the currently selected inputs to that group.
The inputs list can be scrolled using the scroll bar to the right if necessary. Below the list there are
two buttons: clear all removes all of the input routes to that group. Pressing this button produces a
confirmation box in which the clear all can be confirmed or cancelled. connect all routes all Input
channels to the group.
Note: With either the connect or clear all functions, you can exclude individual channels from
the function by touching their faders when the button is pressed.
备注:不管是
clear all
还是
connect all
功能,都可以将单个通道排除在外。只需要点击按钮的时候
移动推子即可。
Group channel output routing functions are very much like Input channel output routing.
Group channel的output 路由功能与input channel 的output 路由功能非常相似。
Aux Sends on Groups
Group output 母线能够将声音信号发送到Aux output 母线上。点击output 仪表上
面的Aux send 按钮,
Group output Busses can send audio to Aux output busses. Pressing the Aux send button, located
above the output meter, will open the expanded aux panel and the sends will be assigned to the
under screen rotaries. To access the aux sends for a stereo, LCR, LCRS or 5.1 Group, the Buss
must be unfolded to show the individual legs, each leg having it’s own aux send levels.
1.5.3 Aux Channels Specific Functions ........................................
As the Aux channel input signals are defined within the Input channels, there is no input selection
available within the Aux channel Setup display. There are, however, a number of configuration
options in the top half of the Setup display:
The set all sends buttons at the top of the Setup display affect the sends to that aux bus from all of
the Input channels. The three buttons on the left, pre mute, pre fader and post fader, set the point
in the channel from which the aux send is
taken. The current send point is displayed next to the aux send level in the Input channels.
Note that send points can also be individually selected within the Input channel using the
2nd function button.
Pressing the link pans button, located to the right of the pre mute button, links that aux send pan to
the main channel pan in the Input channels. This button lights red to indicate that it is active. Further
indication is provided by the aux pan slider in the Input channel strip being lit pink. Rev link pans
inverts the link between the channel pan and aux send pan.
Pressing aux to fader assigns control of all input channel’s auxiliary sends to the channel faders.
