Glossary of Terms
Alpha Display
The term alpha or alpha display refers to the alphanumeric digital displays used on the console surface. Alpha
displays use LED arrays to show text and numbers.
For instance, the Assignable and Pan Logicators on the fader strips each have an associated eight character
alpha display.
Automation Mode
This refers to the states of controls that are used to record and re-play control moves against timecode. The two
basic Automation Modes are Record and Play, and variations on these are used to perform different functions.
Controls can also be in Isolate mode which is used to exclude them from the automation system.
Button
This is used throughout this manual to refer to buttons on the Encore screen that can be clicked for different
functions within dialogue boxes (e.g. Help buttons). The only exception is the trackball buttons.
This is to avoid confusion with keys on the console surface. Some people prefer to describe keys on the console
surface as buttons. If you see the term button in this manual it will only refer to the Encore screen or the trackball.
Events
Events are changes to control settings that are recorded against timecode by the automation system. They are
recorded in timecode order to make the Event List. When a Mix/Pass is played back, it is the settings in the Event
List that are used to automate the controls. Events make up the majority of the data stored by a Mix/Pass.
Individual Events can be manipulated directly using the Event List functions.
Events are also manipulated using the offline automation functions.
Electronic Scribble Strip
The electronic scribble strips are the alpha displays just above the Access keys on the fader strips that show the
name of the path currently assigned to the fader. They also show the fader level when the fader is touched.
Dependent on preferences.
Encore
Encore is a module within Logic MMC that is used in conjunction with the console surface to provide functions
for configuring and setting up the console, using snapshots and automating the console.
Configuration functions include setting the tone (slate) frequency and volume, selecting the internal sample
rate, deciding how the solo system operates and so on.
Console setup functions include rapid port routing (similar to using a patch bay only much faster), setting how
many paths of each type are to be used, applying the same signal processing functions to multiple paths, etc.
Snapshots are used to record the settings of controls for later recall. The number of controls affected by a
Snapshot can be changed with Snapshot Scope. Encore is used to store multiple lists of Snapshots.
Encore provides management of automation data and a automation functions such as labelling user selected
timecode points, mix conforming and event list editing.
Glide
Glide is an automation function. This is when a continuously variable control (fader, Logicator controlling
frequency, etc.) moves or is moved smoothly to match the Play Pass.
Glossary of Terms
Issue 4 Page 1:1

There are three types of Glide:
Manual Glide
This is when the GLIDE key for a control is pressed while the control is recording automation. The control
matches back to the play pass using the Manual Glide time.
Auto Glide
This is when a control matches back to the play pass automatically when it is released. The Auto Glide time is
used.
Manual Match
This is when the GLIDE key is pressed while a control that is recording automation is being touched. The
alpha associated with the control will display an arrow indicating the direction to move the control to match
to the play pass. The control will drop out of record when the play pass position is matched.
If the control is released before it is matched, it will remain in position waiting to be matched. If the play pass
goes through the control position then the control will return to play back. If the transport is stopped before
the control is matched then the control will drop out of record and snap back, the same as any control in
record when transport is stopped.
Layers
The concept of layers is used to allow a digital console to control more signal paths (Channels, Tracks, etc.) than
there are fader strips on the control surface.
Switching between layers is instant and reduces the size of a console so that all controls are in reach all the time.
Mix/Pass
A Mix/Pass stores the data for one complete automation pass.
Each Mix/Pass contains:
oAn Event List containing an Initial Snapshot (ISS) followed by Automation Events
oAutomation Modes and Automation Scope as they were when timecode stopped at the end of the
pass
oA Label List
oA Safety Snapshot
Mix/Pass Tree
Mix/Passes are organised in a Mix/Pass Tree. The Mix/Pass Tree stores the structure of dependence between
Mix/Passes - this means that it shows the order in which Mix/Passes were created and the lines of revision used
to create each Mix/Pass.
The Mix/Pass Tree is displayed graphically so that Mix/Pass dependencies are shown clearly.
A Mix/Pass Tree always starts with Mix/Pass 1.1.
A Mix/Pass Tree is displayed graphically for selecting a Mix/Pass revision as the Play Pass or for editing the Tree.
Pan Designators
A pan designator is used to determine which portion of a panned signal will be received by a Track (bus) or
Group.
For example: Channel 1 is routed to Track 1, Track 2 and some other destinations. Track 1 is pan designated as
Mono (i.e. true mono) and Track 2 is pan designated as Front Left. Panning of Channel 1 will not affect Track 1
because it is a true mono destination. However, Track 2 will only receive the portion of Channel 1 for Front Left,
according to the panning on Channel 1.
Glossary of Terms
Issue 4 Page 1:2

Mono
This is a normal mono path. The signal received Track or Group will not be affected by surround panning. A
Track designated as Mono would not normally be used in a Film Stem.
Centre Mono
This causes a Track to act as a normal mono routing destination (i.e. un-affected by surround panning), but
is routed to the Centre film monitor when used in a stem. If the Centre Mono designator is used in Surround
Sound Manager then the Tracks it is applied to are auto-routed to the Centre film monitor. This can be
applied to Groups, but only has the same effect as normal Mono.
Left and Right
These are normal stereo left leg and right leg routing destinations. The signal received by a Track or Group is
only affected by left/right panning (i.e. front/back, surround left/right and divergence controls have no
effect). These should be used when Stereo is selected for Film paths in the Desk Edit Config page.
Front Centre, Front Left and Front Right
These are the surround destinations corresponding to the front speakers. Front Centre is often fed directly by
dialogue to 'lock' dialogue to the screen.
Surround Mono
This panning destination that has two different uses. In LCRS format, it is the panning destination for rear
surround. In wider formats (5.1 and 7.1) it is the destination corresponding to the sub-woofer.
Surround Left and Surround Right
These are the panning destinations for the rear left and right speakers. These are normally only used with the
wide formats (5.1 and 7.1).
Surround Centre
This is the rear centre destination (i.e. opposite front centre) used by the 6.1 format (also known as Surround
EX).
Inner Left and Inner Right
These are panning destinations that sit between Front Left/Front Centre and Front Right/Front Centre to
provide a smoother image across the front. These are normally only used with 7.1 format.
Path
Path (or signal path) is the term used to describe a discrete part of the signal flow through the console that has a
distinct input and output, either to the outside world or to another path.
In an analogue console, there is a fixed number of signal paths and they are hard-wired into different parts (or
modules) in the console.
Logic MMC is a digital system and this makes it 'assignable'. This means that the number of paths is not fixed but
is selected according to the task in hand. This is done using the utility called Desk Edit that is part of Encore.
The path type indicates the way that a path is used. For instance, Channels are the main console inputs, similar
to channel modules in an analogue console.
Play Pass
The Play Pass is the Mix/Pass that is being used to play back a previous recording of automation moves (events).
Any Mix/Pass can be selected from the current Mix/Pass Tree to be the Play Pass.
Glossary of Terms
Issue 4 Page 1:3

Processing Element
Logic MMC is a digital console that has a certain amount of processing power available. The processing power
is provided by the ESP or XSP cards in the System or SPS Rack.
The processing power is assigned in portions according to how the console is configured for the current session.
Each signal path requires a certain amount of processing power. A signal path can also contain audio
processing, such as EQ or dynamics, and this also uses processing power.
A processing element is one of the individual items of audio processing (a gate, three band equaliser, etc.). The
processing elements (and the processing power required) are assigned (or allocated) to the signal paths in
advance of being used. The system works out how much processing power would be required for the
configuration requested and if there is too much then the excess is rejected.
Anything that applies changes to a signal in a path uses processing - this even includes the fader.
XSP Interrogate key (the blank button above Filing on the MCS panel)
The first press of the key displays the XSP card number responsible for Processing that path. When in this mode,
if any Access key is pressed, the relevant XSP will flash for 20 seconds.
The second press displays the XSP responsible for the Mix processing of that path.
-Only paths with an output will display something on the second press if a route exists for that path (i.e. not
available for Channels, Tracks, Externals etc but available for Outputs, Groups, Auxes).
Record Pass
A Record Pass is made when the transport is in play and changes to control values are recorded against
timecode.
At least one new automation event must be created by a control in a record mode.
A new Mix/Pass number is created and displayed in red on the Encore screen.
Virgin Territory
This is an expression used to describe parts of a Mix/Pass (or a series of Mix/Passes) for which there is no
automation data and no settings in the Initial Snapshot.
Logic MMC takes an Initial Snapshot of all controls that can be automated. This means that Logic MMC never
has virgin territory, so any problems that virgin territory may cause are prevented.

Introduction
Information in this Manual
The information in this manual is mainly presented as a reference for users who are familiar with the operation
of mixing/broadcast consoles. It is assumed that operators and engineers who will be using the Logic MMC are
familiar with concepts such as EQ, delay, etc.
However, Logic MMC is an assignable digital system and this will be new territory for many users. If you are
among those users who are new to digital systems then you should follow the guidelines below for finding out
about key concepts for the Logic MMC. You will soon find that Logic MMC is very easy and intuitive to use.
Finding Information
There are two lists which may help with finding a topic that you are interested in: the contents and the index.
This manual is primarily a reference tool and is not designed to be read sequentially. Therefore, use the index
(at the back of the manual) to find information quickly.
Structure of this Manual
Basic Information and Getting Started
If you are a new user, and particularly if you are new to digital systems, then you should familiarise yourself with
the information in the following chapters at the beginning of the manual:
Glossary Of Terms
This has definitions of terms as they are used in this manual and in the context of using Logic MMC.
Logic MMC Console Surface
This is a section-by-section overview of Logic MMC's console surface.
Working With Signal Paths
This defines the various types of signal paths and what they are used for. This chapter is very useful for former
users of analogue systems.
Reference
The rest of the manual provides reference for using Logic MMC.
Working with the Console Surface
The section of the manual from Fader Assignment through to Transport Control describes how to use the
controls on the console surface.

The Logic MMC Console
Introduction
Logic MMC is a fully automated, all digital console consisting of three parts - the console surface, the processor
and the I/O system.
Console Surface
The control surface comes in frame sizes from 12 to 48 faders, any of which may be sub-fitted with multiples of 6
faders. The surface is arranged to make one man operation as comfortable as possible, with the most
commonly used controls located within easy reach of the central position. Adjustments can be made to any
channel, even on a 48 fader console, without leaving the monitoring sweet point.
Encore, the configuration and automation system, is fully integrated into the console surface.
This chapter provides an overview of the console surface.
Processor
The processor provides a pool of digital processing that is used to manipulate signals according to control
changes on the console surface. This differs from an analogue console in that an analogue console has a fixed
set of controls where the Logic MMC can have signal processing added or removed as required.
All audio signals are connected to the processor from the I/O system via industry standard MADI connections.
MADI also allows the easy connection of third party digital equipment.
I/O System
The Logic MMC I/O system comprises a complete range of digital interfaces, high definition, ultra fast ADCs
and DACs, sample rate converters and remote low noise mic amps. It also incorporates, as standard, a router
that is used to patch any input to any input path (e.g. Channel, Track tape return, etc.) and any output to any
output path (e.g. Aux, Main Output, Track send, etc.).

Upper Channel Strip
The upper area of the channel strips of the Logic MMC allows parameter and routing control from every
channel section on the console. It consists of a number of six fader wide panels matching the fader panels in the
chanbase. It provides 8 patented touch sensitive Logicator controls per fader arranged as 2 groups of 4 to
control Equaliser (4 or 8 band), Filter, Dynamics, other effects processes and channel by channel gain control of
I/O , Inserts and Auxiliary controls, all of which are fully automatable.
The touch LEDs of each logicator will display different colours depending on which process has been selected:
EQ / Filter / Sidechain green
Compressor / Limiter / Gate / Expander orange
Insert magenta
I/O white
Aux blue
Extensive feedback is also provided by the use of alphanumeric displays of both parameter values and strip
function and the use of colour keyed indication of duty where the logicator display matches the keycap colour of
the process type.
A comprehensive fully automated routing array is featured at the top of the strip to control and display the
routing to Mains, Auxiliaries, Groups and Track outputs, as well as support for automated Multi-stem routing in
surround applications.

Fader Strip
Logic MMC utilises Penny & Giles digital faders.
Faders have two scales - a conventional level scale with 10dB in hand and a trim scale for creating
VCA style trims.
Any settings for the selected channel will be displayed on the Logicators and the key LEDs.
The LED located adjacent to the fader indicates any processing that has been assigned to the path that
the fader is currently in, although the processing does not need to be enabled for its presence to be
displayed.
The same panel also indicates whether the channel is mono or stereo and whether the phase has
been switched.
The channel name, either default or user defined, which has been assigned during the configuration
process will be displayed in the electronic scribble strip.
Two Logicators are located at the top of each strip, one for pan control and an assignable Logicator
whose function is determined by the three keys (ASSIGN, SMALL FADER, TRACK TRIM) located at the
top of the master panel.
Fader strips are provided with two scribble strips - a conventional scribble strip and an electronic
scribble strip.
See Automation Controls for an explanation of the automation keys.

Routing And Metering
Routing Screen
Used to show the signal flow through the console.
The keys around the screen provide complete control of path routing.
The bargraph meters above the screen show Track output levels (track send).
Router Settings
Router settings are saved as a part of the console configuration (Desk Setup) and can therefore be recalled.
VU Meters
These are standard VU meters. A Main Output can be directly selected by pressing the number key, or an
alternative metering source can be chosen with the SELECT panel.
