Channel Parameter Edit; Adjusting Pan - Fostex VF-160 Operation Manual

You can edit the various parameter settings such as pan and equalizers for channels 1 through 16 and the master
channel. We refer this type of editing as "Channel parameter edit". There are several channel parameter edit keys on
the top panel (as shown below) and pressing the dedicated key for the parameter you want to edit brings up the
corresponding edit screen. Some keys also handle the second parameter (labeled under the key) and you can bring
up the corresponding edit screen by pressing the key while holding down the [SHIFT] key. You can view and/or edit
the following parameters.
• Pan setting
• 3-band equalizer setting
• Effect send level setting
• Pre/post selection of the effect send
• Aux (auxiliary) send level setting
• Pre/post selection of the Aux (auxiliary) send
• Compressor setting
• Fader level setting
• Channel view (viewing only)
<Hints>
If a channel whose source is set to INPUT via the IN-
PUT SEL setting is selected as the edit channel, the
channel name is shown as below.
In the following example, channel 9 which is set to
INPUT, is selected as the edit channel.

Adjusting Pan

You can adjust the pan (or balance) of each input chan-
nel signal fed to the stereo outputs, as well as fed to the
Rec buss outputs. The panpot for master channel con-
trols the L/R level balance of the stereo outputs.
1. Press the [PAN] key.
All channel settings are shown on the screen.
The first time you bring up the channel parameter edit
screen, the message prompting to select a channel ("Select
CH!") flashes, as well as all the CH STATUS/CH SEL indica-
tors on the panel flash.
From the second time on, the previously selected channel
is selected and ready to be edited when bringing up the
screen (as shown in the drawing of step 2 below).
