Yep that's the way E channels behave.
They have different design logic cards
I never noticed until now.
My current console is a split 8000 G with 8x 4000 E channels

Been busy troubleshooting and have gotten very far. Board really looks and sounds great. Trying to figure this one out. In mix enabled with computer running only 1-16 and vca 1-8 light up for automation. After a bunch of options I then swapped 17-24 to slot 1-8 and 17-24 lite up on the console.  I already swapped out the computer card with another so it’s something other than the lights/switch’s card. Any suggestions.  Thanks !!

I’ve been troubleshooting and swapping channels around. Would all the multiplex cards need to be reset with their jumpers. I’m assuming so in order for total recall to work. Would that affect the automaton ??

Yes, All the jumpers need to be switched, unless they have already been switched. The dip switches on the multiplex cards on all modules need to be set to different addresses. The address chart is in the manual.

Thanks.  I’ve been swapping channels around to test and get things to work. So I’m sure I gotta read the manuals at some point  lol.  Thanks again !

i found multiplex settings in manual and set them up accordingly. i also ran the analogue in test for faders and only 1-16 and vca appeared.  1-16 were frozen open but vca 1-8 tested perfect. gonna swap analogue card and also make some spare 50 pin cables to test

K. Some progress. I booted up from my original 8” floppy drive that I repaired and I got all channels to light up in beginning of mix.  I don’t have a tape machine or pro tools running yet. Pressing execute brings me to the mix running screen but ofc no sympte running. The vca1-8 faders respond but all the channels are unresponsive. When I perform !tes for faders now
I see rows for 48 channels and still only vca 1-8 respond. All others pretty much wide open close to zero.
