To check this:
1. set Input Gangin=Off, load the *Default* PRESET, set INA Delay=1 and INB Delay=0;
2. set Input Gangin=On, return to the Input Delay menu: the display shows INA&B Delay=1:
a. if you leave the value unchanged and once again set Input Gangin=Off
going back to the Input Delay menu, the display shows INA Delay=1 and INB Delay=0 ("original" values).
b. if you change the value, for example INA&B Delay=3, and you once again set Input Gangin=Off
going back to the Input Delay menu, the display shows INA Delay=3 and INB Delay=3 ("new" values).

The practical use of the Ganging function consists in the possibility of editing with identical values the parameters
of similar elements, carrying out single (instead of double) operations.
For example, it's possible to set the same Delay value or equalization on both inputs with just one operation;
or set identical Xover parameters for the various outputs fed to a stereo sound system; or yet again, enable
The LIMITER simultaneously on the two outputs dedicated to two mono stage monitors.
The system automatically recognizes incompatible elements contained in the various configurations and only
enables the Ganging function where it can effectively be used. Therefore, the Ganging function doesn't have
any effect on the MONO setups. The Ganging function can be enabled separately for both groups of input and
groups of outputs.
IMPORTANT:
Precisely for its characteristics, the Ganging function affects the way in which the relative
parameters audio are edited or represented:
As soon as Inputs and/or Outputs are ganged, the various menu pages only show the values that can actually
be used. This however doesn't mean that the values change immediately. On the contrary, the values remain
unchanged (Even if not shown) until new values are entered. Only at that point ganged, Inputs and/or Outputs
assume the same value with the just one operation.
For example, even if the display shows that "Input A&B" are ganged in the page with a certain parameter, the
value shown remains that of Input A until a new value is entered, as Input B doesn't automatically assume the
values of Input A.
This condition is used to avoid accidental or temporary enabling of the Ganging function from changing the values
of all the stored PRESET. The rule can be summed up as follows: "only the values that have to be intentionally
changed are changed".
So generally speaking, to avoid contradictions, oversights and confusion between what is shown and what is
effectively carried out, it s advisable to enable the Ganging functions before starting to edit a PRESET. Moreover,
it s best to make certain to effectively set the required value, manually confirming all the parameters required.
Note:
The elements in Ganging assume the "new" value as soon as the DIAL changes the status of the "old "
value. So, if the value which has to be allocated to the elements in Ganging is the same as the old value, it's
necessary to use the DIAL, temporarily change the value (even only by one step) and then go back to the "old"
value.
5.4.1 GANGING SUBMENU
Ganging
Input Ganging
Output Ganging
This submenu allows to group together the treatment of similar inputs and/or outputs.
Similar is intended as meaning elements which have the same properties and/or the same structure.
For example, the right and left sections of a stereo system are similar, as they are made up symmetrically of
the same quantity and type of elements (the same components for High, Mid and Low frequencies).
