Soft rotaries..

[JohnHParticipant]

Just wondering what you guys are doing with your soft rotaries. My SQ5 doesn’t have them, and my new SQ7 is en route, so I’m just exploring options. I’m thinking I might want the top row to be wedge mixes 1 thru 4, and the bottom row to be effect sends 1 thru 4, but I probably won’t really know until I get the desk out on a show.

On my SQ6, I have plate reverb time, hall reverb time, delay time, and delay regen amount.

Hi,

(disclaimer: We are new to the console, so i don’t know, how long this idea will last)

We are using the rotaries for some inputs/signals that doesn’t need processing: ST1, ST2, ST3, USB. (Control Type ‘Main Level Fader’)

* ST1 -> from our projection PC (routed to L/R)
* ST2 -> from our external streaming sound processor (Only for PAFL; Button switches PAFL )
* ST3 -> from any connectect iPhone et. al.
* USB -> from our streaming & multitracking PC

What’s a little bit odd: You can define the key under the rotary as ‘Unassigned’, ‘Mute’ or ‘PAFL’ but NOT ‘Sel’ – So IF you want to see the processing you still have to browse through your layers…
It would be a nice addition.

(also it’s unfortunate, that you can’t show the processing of a channel that’s not in your active layer)

Yep, just like Mr. NotTooLoud, I have reverb times of reverbs 1 to 4 on soft rotaries.

The little readout by the rotary shows me the reverb time while I’m adjusting it.
And, if I don’t save the new setting, the old setting stays with the scene, so it foes back to my defaults.

I would love to have predelay settings for those reverbs on other rotaries, but I don’t think that is possible.
If anyone knows different, let me know.
