V5.8 Reference Manual

Using the Selected Channel section

This section explains how to use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust

the send levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses.

NOTE

• If you want to monitor the signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select

keys in the Centralogic section to access the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel, and then

press the appropriate [CUE] key in the Centralogic section.

MIX buses can be either a FIXED type whose send level is fixed, or a VARI type whose send

level is variable. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and

VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP

button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window.

 If the MIX bus is a FIXED type

A gray circle is displayed instead of the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot

adjust the send level.

 For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus

The TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob is displayed in the same color as the corresponding knob

in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. In this case, you can use the corresponding knob in

the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send level.

 If the MIX/MATRIX bus is a stereo bus

You can link the main parameters of two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX

buses. If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the

two adjacent TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX

PAN knob. (If BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, it will

operate as a BALANCE knob).

NOTE

• For a MONO channel, the right knob will adjust the common send level to the two MIX/MATRIX

buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating

the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal

sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount

sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus.

• For a STEREO channel, if BALANCE mode has been selected on the TO STEREO/MONO

window, the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the

left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/MATRIX

buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the

amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it

clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX

bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, the left knob will function

as the PAN knob. The right knob function will be the same as in BALANCE mode.

STEP

1. Assign an output port to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals,

and connect your monitor system, external effects processor, or other device to the

corresponding output port.

2. Use the [SEL] keys on the top panel to select the input channel that will send signals

to the MIX/MATRIX bus.

3. Press one of the knobs in the Selected Channel section.

4. Turn on the ON button in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.

5. Turn on the TO MIX/MATRIX SEND ON/OFF button for the send-destination MIX

bus.

6. Use the MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust

the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses.
