INPUT CHANNELS VS RECORDER TRACKS
When the booting procedure is completed, the main screen displays the modulometers of the inputs channels
as well as main information's related to the set up of the mixer and most of the recording parameters.
The main screen displays either the modulometers of the Inputs channels or the modulometers of the
recorder's tracks (see examples below). Touching the blue region at the bottom of the screen toggles the
metering of the Inputs channels or the metering of the recorder's Tracks.
For sake of clarity in reading this manual, please note that:
- Inputs or channels: always refer to a physical input or output of the analogue mixer
- Tracks: always refer to a virtual track of the recorder

INPUTS MODULOMETERS
When the screen shows the INPUTS modulometers, numbers 1 to 6 represent the input channels of the mixer,
and 7 & 8 represent either the master Mix-L (7) and Mix-R (8) or the stereo [RETURN] inputs.
The first column - numbering from 1 to 8 - indicates the status of the input channels and of the master mix (or
the Return's inputs); the red square indicates the status of assigned and armed tracks.
- Number 1 to 6 represents the number of the input channels.
- A high-lighted number means that the input channel is powered [ON]; a dimmed number means that the
input channel is powered [OFF] (saving on batteries).
- Numbers 7 & 8 appearing over a Red square means that Stereo Master Outputs [Mix-L & Mix-R] are
assigned; either high-lighted (powered ON) or dimmed (powered OFF to save on batteries).
- Numbers 7 & 8 appearing over a Blue square means that the stereo [RETURN] inputs are assigned as
channels 7 & 8 instead of the master outputs.
- High-lighted Red square indicates that the recorder's track is assigned and armed, ready to record; dimmed
Red square means that no input is assigned and/or the track is not armed.
