Avantis Solo Fader Bank A & B

[NoProTips]

I know this is part of the upsell to the full-size desk, but in the interest of show-file consistency (a guest tech that was using my board nearly got burned the other day), it would be great to be able to use a softkey to switch from bank A to B fader banks. When I’m setting up a showfile on mine, I just use DCA spill, but someone with a full-size showfile might not be aware that the user only gets bank A, as it still appears in Director (IIRC).

Couldn’t see this one listed, so apologies if this is a dupe!

Definitely +1. In addition to showfile consistency, it would also make handling large channel counts easier as you could just move channels that you only touch during soundcheck and then manage via DCA or subgroups (or the DCAs themsevles, which I usually only need during setup because I only use them for DCA spill). With my current setup, I can only use half the input count before I have to make compromises.

I would argue against the full desk size being an upsell argument. Avantis and Avantis Solo aren’t that far priced from each other and I guess that the main reason for getting a Solo vs. a full-size (at least for me) is easier handling, not the smaller price tag.
