Surround assignments
In surround mode with
the pan switch on, the meaning is different—channel
modules are assigned to the panned groups of sur-
round channels for fine adjustment.
In addition to using the cursor and
ENTER
keys for
assigning the channels modules to the surround bus-
ses, the
ASSIGN
keys can also be used.
With the pan switch on, use any of the
ASSIGN
keys
1 through 8 to turn surround 1 on and off (all indica-
tors light together),
ASSIGN
keys 9 through 16 to
turn surround 2 on and off, and
ASSIGN
keys 17
through 24 to turn surround 3 on and off.
See “Surround operations” on page 88 for further
details of this and other surround operations, includ-
ing the individual assignment of channels to sur-
round matrix output channels with the pan switch
off.
Non-channel assignments
Assignments from
the busses may be made to the stereo buss as well as
to the aux 1–2 send busses (which can therefore be
used as studio monitors).
Assignments from the aux sends can be made to the
stereo buss only.
Assignments from the stereo buss are to the aux 1–2
send busses (again for monitoring).
Bulk assignment
The POD 1 and POD 2
switches correspond to “assign all” and “de-assign
all” on-screen buttons.
For channel assignments, use the POD 4 encoder to
select a target buss (or the stereo buss or direct out-
put) for channels and then press
ALL CH ON
(POD 1) or
ALL CH OFF
(POD 2) to assign or de-assign all channels
to or from the selected target.
Buss assignments may be made to the stereo buss
and/or the aux 1–2 buss pair. The labels of the on-
screen buttons change here to
ALL BUSS ON
(POD 1)
and
ALL BUSS OFF
(POD 2). When the stereo buss is
selected as the source, these labels change to
ON
and
OFF
.
For aux sends and the stereo buss, the button labels
are
ALL ON
(POD 1) and
ALL OFF
(POD 2).
Buss panning
The balance between odd- and
even-numbered busses is set in the
MODULE AUX/BUSS
screens (see “Aux and buss setup” on page 81). See
also “BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN” on page 44 for
details of how buss and stereo panning are linked.
