Effect send

There is one stereo "loop" send (using the internal
effects) in addition two effect sends (using the external
EFFECT SENDS
jacks) for each channel. Please see
"Single effect" on page 42 for details about the use of the
internal single effect.
Press the channel's

key (this order can be reversed).

Fader/pan

Press the
FADER/PAN
key to display the FADER/PAN
screen for the current channel. To change the channel,
press the

change to.

PHASE

PAN

Use this screen to make pan, phase and fader setting for
four channels at a time on this screen (linked channels still
count as two channels here).
Phase
ª
Use this to correct miswired microphones, etc. Out-of-
phase sources can result in unnatural EQ and a "hole in
the middle" stereo effect. The phase symbol ( Ø ) shows the
current status of the channel: either normal (N) or reversed
(R). Use the cursor keys and dial to change these settings.
Pan
ª
Use PAN parameters to set the stereo position.
In the track channels, this parameter sets the pan positions
of the signals sent to the stereo bus. In the input channels,
it sets the pan positions of signals sent to the sub mix bus.
Full left ("hard left") is represented by L63, and hard right
by R63. The center position, where the signal is sent equal-
ly to the left and right is represented by C.

For each effect send, there is a soft switch at the left side
of the screen. Use the dial to set this switch either OFF or
POST (post-fader) or PRE (pre-fader).
T I P
"Pre-fader" means that the channel fader does not
affect the level of the effect send, as opposed to
"post-fader" where the effect send level is affected
by the channel fader setting.

With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the PAN key to reset
the highlighted channel's pan position to the center.
In the case of linked channels, the pan position both
of the highlighted channel and the channel to which it
is linked will be centered.

Faders

ª
The on-screen track channel faders are for display only.
The input channel faders adjust the levels of the signals
sent to the sub mix bus. Select then with the cursor and use
the
JOG/DATA
dial to set them.
The minimum fader value as shown on screen is 0 (full
cut), and the full level is 127. A level of 100 corresponds to
the "unity gain" position of 0 dB.
In the initial preference settings, the positions of the physi-
cal faders on the top panel and the actual fader levels
(internal fader values) always correspond, but different
fader matching settings may cause the positions and actual
values to differ.
In this case, the
