• Automation status
• Pan mode
Where these settings are made using physical con-
trols, moving one control of the pair will move the
other control of the pair, and will affect the settings.
Only adjacent modules can be linked, with the odd-
numbered module being the left channel of the pair
(that is, 1 and 2 can be linked, but 2 and 3 cannot).
To link modules:
1 Press and hold the
SEL

cursor key to cancel the operation.

Mute groups

In each mute group of channels, there is one master
channel.
Altering the mute status of this master changes the
status of the slave channels of the group.
Slave channels can change their status independently
of the rest of the group. A slave channel can belong
to only one group at a time.

Balance

One major difference between stereo
linked channels and individual mono channels is in
the pan and balance controls (see "Pan and balance
settings" on page 84).

Linked dynamics

Another major difference lies
in the way that triggers, etc. are set for the dynamics
processors of the module. See "Dynamics proces-
sors" on page 75 for details of how this works.
