Channel Name
The name of each channel appears in the Chan-
nel Scribble strips If you move a fader or rotary
encoder, the scribble strip temporarily shows
the volume level or pan position. You can re-
name each of the input channels. (See “Naming
Channels” on page 103.)
Encoder/Meter LED Ring
Encoder Mode
In normal mode (when the “L”
and “R” Encoder/Meter indicators are lit), the
LED rings above the rotary encoders indicate
one of the following:
◆
In Pan View (or Home View), the LED rings in-
dicate channel pan position.
◆
In Send View, the LED rings indicate the level
for the selected send (A–D) for each channel.
◆
In Master Fader View, the Delay Return LED
ring shows pan position. (No other Rotary En-
coders are active in this view.)
◆
In Channel View, the LED rings display EQ,
Compressor, or Pan/Send information.
Meter Mode
When you press the Encoder/Meter
mode switch to the right of the Channel View
area so the Meter LED is lit, the LED rings act as
meters in the following ways:
◆
In Pan View and Send View, the LED rings act
as post-fader meters for each input channel.
◆
In Master Fader View, the LED rings act as
post-fader meters for the effect return and Mas-
ter Fader channels.
◆
When viewing EQ controls in the Channel
View area, the LED rings act as post-fader meters
for each input channel.
◆
When viewing compressor controls in the
Channel View area, the LED rings act as input,
output, and gain reduction meters for the dis-
played compressor.
Channel Volume Fader
The volume of each input is controlled by its
corresponding channel fader.
Pan
The pan position of each input on the stereo
output bus is controlled by its corresponding ro-
tary encoder when Digi 002 is in Pan View.
Solo and Mute
The solo and mute status of each channel are
controlled by the corresponding switches on
each channel strip. In Stand-alone mode, the
Solo switches behave in latched fashion, allow-
ing more than one channel to be soloed at the
same time.
Channel Select Switch
Depending on the current view, the Channel Se-
lect switch performs a variety of functions. In
Pan/Send View, this switch toggles the corre-
sponding send between pre- and post-fader op-
eration. In Channel View, you press this switch
to select a channel and display the controls for
any of the internal effects on Digi 002.
Naming Channels
In Stand-alone mode, you can name the input
channels so that the name appears in each
channel’s scribble strip. (The names of the Mas-
ter Fader and Effect Return channels cannot be
changed.)
To change the name of an input channel:
