Overview

Template Shows provide a quick starting point by giving you a familiar layout and classic mix architecture. They contain a number of default Scenes to reset the mixer settings, patch and Surface layout to the starting point.

FoH, MON and Surround Template Shows have:

  • Input fader strips on left banks, Mix and DCA masters on right bank.
  • Surface Inputs on Layer F of the left bank.
  • All channels muted.
  • Input channel 1-64 source from MixRack XLR sockets.
  • Input channel 65-96 source from DX 1/2.
  • Input channel 97-114 source from DX 3/4.
  • Input channel 115-126 source from Surface inputs.
  • Input channel 121/122 configured as Stereo and sourced from Surface 7/8 (XLR) for music playback.
  • Input channel 123/124, 125/126 configured as Stereo and sourced from Surface 9/10 (AES) and 11/12 (AES) respectively.
  • Input channel 127/128 configured as Stereo and sourced from the Surface USB stereo playback.
  • Soft Rotaries (left screen) assigned to Gate+Comp, Gate, Comp.
  • Soft Rotaries (right screen) assigned to Mono Aux Sends, Stereo Aux Sends, FX Sends (follow Sel).
  • SoftKeys, IP Controllers, Virtual SoundCheck settings, Talkback HPF, FX Global Tap tempo and Soft Rotary Controls are Safe in the Global Safes.

  • 8 Groups (4 Mono, 4 Stereo)
  • 8 Mono FX Sends
  • 16 Aux (8 Mono, 8 Stereo)
  • 8 Matrix (4 Mono, 4 Stereo)
  • LR (single fader strip)

This Template configures the dLive as a dedicated monitor console with 28 monitor mixes. All Input faders are set to 0dB.

Bus architecture:

  • 4 Groups (2 Mono, 2 Stereo)
  • 8 Mono FX Sends
  • 28 Aux (14 Mono, 14 Stereo)

Multi-Surface FOH/MON

These Templates are for use in a Multi-Surface application where one Surface is dedicated to FOH and another Surface is dedicated to MON.

Both Show files have identical bus configurations, but with unique Surface scene ranges, role filters, strip layouts and PAFL settings optimised for each role.

The Multi-Surface FOH show should be loaded on the Surface responsible for the FOH mix.

The Multi-Surface MON show should be loaded on the Surface responsible for the MON mix.

The bus architecture is shared between FOH and MON:

  • 6 Groups (2 Mono, 4 Stereo)
  • 16 Mono FX Sends
  • 12 Aux (8 Mono, 4 Stereo)
  • 6 Matrix (4 Mono, 2 Stereo)
  • LR (single fader strip)
  • 2 PAFL

Visible on the FOH Surface:

  • Scenes 1-249
  • 64 Inputs (1-64)
  • 12 DCA (1-12)
  • 6 Groups (1-2 Mono, 1-4 Stereo)
  • 8 Mono FX Sends (1-8)
  • 6 Matrix (1-4 Mono, 1-2 Stereo)
  • LR (single fader strip)
  • PAFL 2 is assigned to the FOH Surface

Visible on the MON Surface:

  • Scenes 250-500
  • 64 Inputs (65-128)
  • 12 DCA (13-24)
  • 12 Aux (1-8 Mono, 1-4 Stereo)
  • 8 Mono FX Sends (9-16)
  • Wedge
  • IEM
  • PAFL 1 is assigned to the MON Surface

🛈 The Multi-Surface FOH and Multi-Surface MON Show files are not suitable for applications where one Surface is responsible for both FOH and MON mixes.

🛈 When making changes to the Mixer Config – for example, adding or removing an AUX, GRP or MTX – ensure that the Role Filters in each Surface Role are updated accordingly.

🛈 The MixRack headphones output is fixed to PAFL 1 (MON)

🛈 The RTA function, Wedge and IEM strips are fixed to PAFL 1 (MON)

🛈 Delay, PFL Trim and Ext Input to PAFL Source are available for FOH and MON

🛈 See Appendix E – Multi-Surface for more information on Multi-Surface functionality.
