Soft key assign to multiple auxs

[Imarconi]

I would like to have the chance to assign the talkback to different combinations of aux/matrices/etc based on Soft keys.

When working with backline technicians/crew (while doing FOH + Monitors) I would like to be able to do something like:

SoftKey 1: Aux 1 to 5 (Band IEM)
SoftKey 2: Aux 6 (Tour Manager)
SoftKey 3: Aux 7 and 8 (Drumtech/guitartech)

Sounds like you need a comms system.. Try ASL or Tecpro

No, I need to talk to the stage crew that at the same time are listening to a dedicated IEM mix and walking around the stage.

If you still have three free input channels, it is simple:
Feed the talkback mic (let’s say socket 44) to all three channels (say #42,43,44), send #42 to the IEMs, #43 to the manager and #44 to the techs. You could even eq/comp/level them differently.
Now you can assign the first three softkeys to mute these three channels separately.
Without having to watch the inputs themselves, you’ll always have a visual feedback via the softkeys’ LEDs about each talkback’s on/off status.

If you only have two free channels, use the regular feedback function above the softkeys to feed one of the three destinations.

Hello again Pit!

you totally nailed it!

Thats a ver good way IF you have free channels, anyways I would like to have the chance to do it trough softkeys or even having 2 talkback assignments, lets say, pressing once the TALK button and then the talkback is routed to some auxs (and the screen could show TALK 1 or TALK BAND instead of only TALK) and pressing twice you get assigned to the others but not both …(and the screen shows TALK 2 or TALK CREW) then pressing again you switch the talkback off…. something like toggling (no idea if this expression actually exists =P) between different assignments..
