User’s Manual
• 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
key of one module of
the pair to be linked.
2
Press the
SEL
key of the second module. A
popup message appears:
3
Press
ENTER
to link the two modules, or a
cursor key to cancel the operation.
•
Unlink modules in the same way (press and
hold one
SEL
key of the pair, and press the
other
SEL
key to bring up a popup message).
It is also possible to use the
ST LINK
screen brought up
using the
ST LINK/GROUP
key.
Use the cursor keys or channel
SEL
keys to move the
cursor and the
ENTER
key to make or break links.
No popup message appears when making or break-
ing stereo links in this way.
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.
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.
Use the
LINK/GRP
key (
ALT
+
1
) to bring up the
links screens:
