Channel Job

V5.8 Reference Manual

 Channel link operations

• Linking three or more channels

Hold down the link-source [SEL] key and successively press the [SEL] key of each output

channel you want to add to the link group.

• Adding a new channel to an existing link group

Hold down any [SEL] key within the group and press the [SEL] key that you want to add

to the group.

NOTE

If the link-destination output channel is already assigned to another link group, its assignment to

the previous group will be canceled, and it will be added to the newly assigned group.

• Removing a channel from a link group

Hold down any [SEL] key in the same link group, and press the [SEL] key for the channel

that you want to remove.

• Changing the level balance between channels that belong to the same link group

While pressing and holding down the [SEL] key for the desired linked channel, adjust the

parameter value. You can also remove all linked channels from the same link group

temporarily. This can be helpful if you want to edit parameters that are linked to each

other while maintaining the same relative level differences. While you are holding down

the [SEL] key, the fader values will not be linked. (However, you cannot temporarily

cancel this link during the “fading” phase of a recalled scene.)

CH LINK SET window

Displayed when you press the channel display field in the CH LINK MODE window. You can

also link channels in this window.

1 Channel select button

Select a channel that you want to link. The selected input channel will be indicated in

blue, the selected output channel will be indicated in orange, and the alphabetical

character that indicates the link group will appear for linked channels.

2 LINK buttons

Link the channel selected in, 1.

3 UNLINK button

Cancels the link selected in

, 1.

4 UNSELECT ALL

De-selects all selected channels.

5 CLOSE button

Closes the window.

NOTE

If you use CL5 settings data on the CL3/CL1, or CL3 settings data on the CL1, buttons will be

shown crossed-out if they are assigned to a channel that does not exist on that model.
