This function can be used to program a "talk to channel" fader user button.

When active, talkback is routed from the talkback source onto one of 8 talkback busses. These busses appear in the Destinations side of the Signal List display (under the DSP Inputs directory.)

The talkback bus can then feed the channel's N-1 bus (on input channels), the Group direct output (on group channels) and/or the Sum direct output (on sum channels).

You can also decide whether to dim the console monitoring when the talkback user button is active.

Configuration

  1. Define the Userbutton Index and Userbutton Color in the usual manner.
  2. Enter the signal address for the talkback source into the Talkback in usa field. You can do this by:
    1. Open the Signal List display.
    2. Right-click on the talkback source and choose Copy Signal Address to Clipboard.
    3. Open the Custom Functions display.
    4. Add (or Edit) the Fader User Button, Talkback to Channel function.
    5. Right-click in the Talkback in usa field and select Paste.
  3. The next three options define whether talkback is permitted on input channels (Talk to N-1 Bus), groups (Talk to GRP) and/or sums (Talk to SUM).
    For example, if you set Talk to N-1 = Yes, and Talk to GRP/Talk to SUM = No, then the user button can talk to an input channel (via its N-1) but not to a group or a sum.
  4. Use the Talkback DIM (dB) field to enter the amount of dim applied to the console’s monitoring when the user button is active.
  5. Use the Talkback Bus field to select one of the 8 available talkback busses.
    This option is useful when programming multiple TALK buttons, as you can have each user button working with a different talkback bus.
