Simultaneously Adjusting A Stereo Source (Stereo Link); Adjusting The Faders - Roland VS-1680 Owner's Manual

Chapter 11 Other Convenient Functions
Simultaneously Adjusting a
Stereo Source (Stereo Link)
When recording or playing back a stereo source, nor-
mal mixer operations require you to control the left
and right channels separately, which can make it
inconvenient to adjust equalizer, effects, and other set-
tings. In such cases, you can have the settings for a
pair of channels, with the exception of the fader and
pan settings, linked so that they adjusted in the same
way. This is called the Stereo Link.
When Stereo Link is on, adjacent odd- and even-num-
bered channels are paired as shown below. The set-
tings of each odd-numbered channel will be the same
as the settings of the corresponding even-numbered
channel. When the setting of one channel are modi-
fied, the settings of the paired channel will change in
the same way.
