Here you can set the parameters of the currently selected input channel (INPUT CH 1–64, ST IN CH 1–4) or output 
channel (MIX channels 1–16, MATRIX channels 1–8, STEREO/MONO channels).

You can access this window in the following ways.

From the [Windows] menu, choose [Selected Channel] and select “MAIN VIEW”

Double-click the channel number in one of the Overview windows

On the LS9 console, assign a USER DEFINED KEY to [LS9 EDITOR CONTROL]-[SELECTED CHANNEL], and execute 
it

By choosing [Selected Channel] from the [Windows] menu and then selecting “ADDITIONAL VIEW,” you 
can view a window for a channel that is not selected. This ADDITIONAL VIEW is not linked with [SEL] key 
operations on the panel of the LS9.

The type of parameters that can be edited in this window depends on the type of the currently selected channel. The 
parameters of the Selected Channel window are explained below, in the order of input channels (input channels 1–
64, ST IN CH 1–4), MIX channels, MATRIX channels, and STEREO/MONO channels.
