Channel View

Ch 4

Introduction

As mentioned earlier, the Channel View allows access
to key controls for each channel including EQ and FX
send adjustments, channel linking and compressor
level.
There are two possible channel views:
(1) The channel view for channels 1 and 2 (and 3
through 6 on the ProDX8) and the Bluetooth / Stereo
channel is displayed above and...
(2) the channel view for the FX channel is displayed
on the following page.
Notice in both views that the controls for
the currently selected channel are on the
left side and the main mix controls remain
on the right.
From here you're able to one-touch navigate to
the Mixer View, System View, FX selection / channel,
other adjacent channels or the Graphic EQ.

No, this isn't "less than divided by greater than."
I'm pretty sure someone's head would explode trying
to work out that math problem! Rather, these two
channel navigation buttons take you to the previous
channel ["<" button] or next channel [">" button].
Additionally, you can switch between channels by
swiping left and right on the channel name displayed
between these two buttons.
Go ahead and switch between channels by tapping
the buttons or swiping left and right. The rest of this
Reference Guide can wait!

13. Link

Two adjoining mono input channels may be linked
together. This is ideal for stereo input sources such
as keyboards, submixer outputs, vocal processors and
more. When linked, the level control, EQ, compressor,
etc. are adjusted with a single set of controls!
Linking channels is easy. At the top of the Channel
View is an option to "Link X". Tap it! As seen below, a
popover will ask you to confirm which channel's settings
you prefer. Tap your channel choice...or cancel out.
The new linked channel will take on all of
the attributes [EQ settings, compressor level,
FX level, etc.] of the tapped channel button.
In other words, if you tap the Channel 1
button, the resulting stereo channel will take on all
of the settings of channel 1. However, if you tap the
Channel 2 button, the resulting stereo channel will
take on all of the settings of channel 2.
