This feature can be especially handy for
applications such as vocal comps and bus
switching. Inverse switching is set and recalled
individually on all parameters, so Bus 1 and the
linked Bus 1 can be inversely locked, while Bus 2
and mutes are locked to the same value.
• Holding down [Shift] and enabling a linked
channel mute, Bus 1-8 and L-R assigns, EQ on/off,
Gate on/off and Comp on/off assignment enables
the inverse function. To leave this mode, press
[Shift] and the linked button again. The mode may
also be initiated by using the keyboard [Shift] and
clicking on a linked channel’s button.
Unlink (Ctrl+U)
• Removes a link between channels.
• Initiate by selecting the linked channels and then
selecting “Unlink” under Channels in the upper
menu bar, or by pressing and holding the linked
channels’ SELECT buttons for two seconds, and
then choosing Link Off in the Fat Channel Display.
Faders to Unity (Ctrl+])
• Sets the selected channel faders to unity.
• Affects faders only (including the MASTER L/R
fader). Does not affect other channel parameters.
Faders to Off (Ctrl+[)
• Instantly sets selected channel faders to off.
• Affects faders only (including the MASTER L/R
fader). Does not affect other channel parameters.
Adjust Channel Delay…
• This feature provides a means to shift channels in
time, relative to each other.
• Select the channels that will remain at the
original position; all unselected channels will be
offset by the selected number of samples (
±
255).
• This feature helps compensate for phase and
timing discrepancies in a synchronization scenario
or any multi-playback/record device setup.
Reset Channel Delay…
• This resets the time-altered channels to a status
of no offset.
Reset Channel Layout…
• This action resets all channels to the default
contiguous channel layout (1-97). It “undoes” all
channel rearrangements across the board.

fader bank for clipboard, automation, and other
operations pertaining to multiple channel
modifications.
