\"SideWinder\" consists of four independent 8x2 summing banks under one hood.  Each bank may be operated on its own and/or routed to the last bank (using the front panel Bussing Switches) to form 16x2, 24x2, or 32x2 summing matrixes in various combinations.  In these cases, Bank-D acts as a Main Buss for all banks assigned to it.  Each individual bank\'s output remains active to serve as a Sub Group for stems, FX send, parallel processing or whatever you might dream up.  The first two channels of Banks A, B & C can be assigned as stereo or mono using internal jumpers.  This flexibility allows the user to scale SideWinder to a specific project\'s needs while controlling noise build-up (see diagrams below).  

 

Other features include a Mono Switch for Bank-A which \"pans\" its mix elements to the center of the stereo field. This follows a -3dB pan law and only affects the bussing to Bank-D (Bank A\'s outputs remain stereo for sub-group flexibility).  Bank-D is fitted with a -6dB Gain Switch which (when engaged) helps control signal level build-up common with larger mixes.  If you enjoy the taste of big iron in your mix, Bank-D can be outfitted with switchable Output Transformers.
