5 – Channel modules : Module setup

Module setup

The fourth channel module screen is called the
screen and allows the setting of general parameters
affecting the use of the module. Note the block dia-
gram at the top of this screen, showing the current
configuration of the channel module, along with the
enabled/disabled status of the components (dynamics
processors, EQ, etc.). As changes are made to the set-
ting, this block diagram is updated to reflect the cur-
rent status of the module:

Figure 5.16: Channel module SETUP screen

As with the other module screens, the cursor keys are
used to move a box around the screen, and the POD
encoders and key are used to make changes
ENTER
to the parameters.
NOTE
Note that buss modules allow the setting of Aux 1–2
level and pan here, together with stereo level and pan.
Aux modules provide only stereo level and pan here,
and the stereo buss provides only Aux 1–2 level and
pan.

INPUT/RETURN selection

through 32, as explained earlier, two different inputs
may be selected, which may be switched or "flipped"
globally in blocks of eight ("Flipping the channels"
on page 48) or may be changed on this screen using
the on-screen INVERT SRC (source invert) button (POD
1, first row).
When you press , a popup message asking
ENTER
you to press once more to confirm the flip
ENTER
operation (or a cursor key to cancel).

GATE switching

Use POD 2 on the first row as a
rotary switch to turn the gate for the module on or
off.

AUX 1-2 SOURCE

It is suggested that the aux 1
and 2 sends are used as studio foldback (cue) sends.
The fourth POD control on the first row of this screen
allows you to choose pre-fader or post-fader inputs or
the return channel to be used as the feed to aux 1-2
(this is independent of the input return selection).

Dynamics insert point

type of processor (compressor or expander) that has
been recalled from the library, the screen may show
COMP (compressor) or EXP
move the insert point pre- or post-EQ.

Dynamics on/off

Depending on the basic type of
processor (compressor or expander) that has been
recalled from the library, the screen may show
(compressor) or EXP (expander) here. Use the POD 2
encoder (second line) to turn this dynamics processor
on or off.

Assignable insert position

encoder (second line) to turn the insert point of the
assignable "soft" insert to pre- or post-fader position.

Phase control

Use the POD 1 encoder of row 3 to
reverse the input phase of the channel module. If two
channels are linked, then a phase control for each
channel will be shown (POD 1 and POD 2). Also, see
"Phase/trim/delay" on page 71 below.

Module delay

A delay can be applied to channels
on an individual basis, to compensate for the latency
of other equipment, the acoustic delays caused by
microphone placement, etc. The delay time can be
expressed in milliseconds or in samples.
The delay point can also be set to be pre- or post-
module (see also "Delay" on page 72).
Use the POD 3 encoder to set the delay time (in
0.1ms or single sample steps).
Move the cursor to the pre-post field and choose
either pre- or post-module delay.
The maximum delay time is 16383 samples, at every
sampling frequency. In milliseconds, this equates to:
FS Maximum delay (ms)
44.1 371.5
48 341.3
88.2 185.7
96 170.7
