Chapter 6 Mixer Channel Strip Detail
This chapter explains in detail each of the settings available
in the Mixer display for the Input Mixer, Track Mixer, and
the Master Block. For general information about signal flow,
busses, etc., see Chapter 5, “Using The Digital Mixer.”
Input Mixer
The following functions are found in the Input Mixer. Press
the SELECT button for any Input to view and adjust its
settings. Press the function button located under the display
corresponding to the setting you wish to change. Or, press
the [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] buttons to move the
cursor to the setting you wish to change. Use the TIME/
VALUE dial to select the desired value.
[F1 (MIX)] MIX Bus Enable/Pan
This parameter both assigns the channel to the MIX bus and
determines the stereo position of the signal in the master
stereo mix.
(Mix Assign Switch)
On:
The channel is assigned directly to the MIX bus. Set this
to “on” when you simply want to mix an input without
actually recording it.
Off:
The channel is not assigned to the MIX bus.
(Pan Knob)
Sets the panning of the signal (L63-R63) sent to the MIX bus.
[F2 (Low)], [F3 (Mid)], and
[F4 (High)] Equalizer
Sw (Equalizer Switch)
Turns the EQ on and off. The EQ switch must be ON to make
settings in the EQ section.
(Equalizer Select)
This setting selects how many bands of EQ are available in
the channel.
2 Band EQ:
Low and High bands are available.
3 Band EQ:
Low, Mid, and High bands are available.
You can use three-band EQ on as many as 16 tracks and/or
inputs at the same time. Two-band EQ can be used on all 26
tracks and inputs at the same time.
Low
This adjusts the gain (-12 dB to +12 dB) and the shelving
frequency (40 Hz-1.5 kHz) of the low-band EQ.
Mid
This adjusts the gain (-12 dB to +12 dB) and the center
frequency (200 Hz-8 kHz), and the Q (filter sharpness) (0.5-
16) of the mid-band EQ. The Mid band is not available when
“2 Band EQ” is selected.
High
This adjusts the gain (-12 dB to +12 dB) and the shelving
frequency (500 Hz-18 kHz) of the high-band EQ.
ENTER Button
When the cursor is positioned inside the EQ section, the
ENTER button will be blinking. Press [ENTER] to view a
graphic display of the EQ settings.
[F6 (PRM.V)] Parameter View/
[F6 (CH.V)] Channel View
This changes the display from Channel View to Parameter
View. Press [F6 (PRM.V)] to view the parameter settings
(such as Pan or Effect Send) for all channels. Press [F6
(CH.V)] to view all of the mixer settings for just one channel.
[F1 (EFX1)] Effect 1 Send

through the mixer fader.

Bus.
