Chapter 6 Mixing Procedure 2 (Output and Monitor)
Setting up surround outputs
1. Press [PROJECT] ([SYSTEM) while holding down [SHIFT].
This calls up the system menu screen.

2. Press CURSOR [UP] and then [F2], and select SURROUND.
fig.06-15
3. Turn on the surround master switch.
Use CURSOR [UP] to select a parameter in the upper section of the display. Press
[F1] (ON) and select [SURROUND CONTROL MASTER SW] on the screen—when
surround is turned on, it's highlighted in black.
4. Set whether to use a joystick for surround panning, or not.
To control surround pan using an optional MIDI joystick, press [F2] (MIDI
JOYSTICK CONTROL).
5. Set whether or not surround panning will follow channel panning.
A signal's left/right surround position (PAN) usually follows its channel pan
setting. Press [F3] (SURROUND PAN SLAVE) to disable this behavior—when
surround pan-slaving is turned off, it's not highlighted on the display.
6. Select the desired surround mode.
Select a parameter in the lower section using CURSOR [DOWN] and press [F1] (2+2),
[F3] (3+1) or [F5] (3+2+1).
Surround panning
In a surround system, each channel's signal can be separately positioned in two
dimensions, front/rear and right/left. This is called "surround panning." The
signal's position is controlled using two parameters, PAN for left/right positioning
and DEPTH for front/rear positioning.
• To set surround panning while viewing each channel's position graphically, call
up the CHANNEL EDIT mode surround page (p. 74).
• To control the surround panning of multiple channels at the same time using
their faders, use PARAM VIEW on Fader (p. 74).

The joystick will control
surround panning for the
channel whose [CH EDIT]
was most recently pressed.
The system is compatible
with J. L. Cooper's MCS
PANNER. Connect the
joystick to the console's
MIDI IN jack.
Surround panning is
available for Flex Buses 1 to
6 (p. 89).
