VCA channel solo
Solo operation of a Channel assigned to multiple VCA Groups:
It is possible for a Channel to be assigned to more than one (up to 8 possible)VCA
Masters. How it responds to multiple VCA Solos is now discussed.
In Additive Mode, more than one signal can be solo’d. If a single Channel is assigned to mul-
tiple VCA Groups, and those VCA Groups are simultaneously solo’d (via their VCA Solo
switch), the Channel has to respond properly to the different Solo combinations.The differ-
ent possibilities are listed below:
1. Channel individually solo’d,then 1 VCA Group also solo’d:
Channel remains solo’d as other channels in Group become active because of
VCA Solo.When VCA Solo OFF, initial Channel stays solo’d, other channels in
Group un-solo (Case outlined above- Listen to one Channel, then others in the
Group,then back to initial Channel)
2. Channel initially un-solo’d,then 1 VCA Group solo’d:
Channel solo is activated along with other channels of Group.If Channel is indi-
vidually un-solo’d, rest of channels in Group stays solo’d,VCA Solo-OFF un-solos
all.
3. Channel initially un-solo’d,then multiple VCA Groups solo’d:
Channel solo is activated along with other channels of any solo’d Groups. If
Channel is individually un-solo’d, the rest of the channels in that Group stays
solo’d,VCA Solo-OFF un-solos all channels of that particular Group.The solo
function of a particular Channel is an OR operation on the solo commands from
each of the possible 8 VCA Groups the Channel is assigned to, plus the local
Channel solo. Once a Channel is solo’d by a VCA Solo-ON command (or multi-
ple VCA-Ons), pressing the Channel Solo Switch will un-solo the Channel. By re-
pressing the Chan Solo Sw, the Chan solo will once again become active, but the
Chan will no longer be associated with any particular VCA Group. Solo Clear, or
re-pressing the Chan Solo Sw will be the only way to un-solo the Channel at this
point. If another VCA Group Solo is activated,and the Channel is assigned to that
Group,the Channel will solo, and the Channel will be associated with that VCA
Group.If that VCA Group Solo is turned off, the Channel will follow and also un-
solo.
