Chapter 12—Common Channel Functions
DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
FADER/SOLO RELEASE:
When you check this check box, raising the channel faders of
soloed Channels from –
∞
will unsolo the Channels. If the channel fader position is higher
than –
∞
, you cannot solo the corresponding channel.
This function is disabled in Mixdown Solo mode and for the Output Channels.
Pairing Channels
Input Channels, Bus Outs, and Aux Sends can be paired for stereo operation. Input Chan-
nels can be paired either horizontally, that is, adjacent odd-even channels on the same Layer
(e.g., 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc) or vertically, that is, counterpart channels on adjacent Layers (e.g.,
1-25, 2-26, 49-73, 50-74, etc). Bus Outs and Aux Sends can be paired only horizontally.
Pairing Channels by Using the [SEL] Buttons
Only horizontal pairing can be set by using the [SEL] buttons.
1
Use the LAYER buttons to select the Layer containing the channels that you
want to pair.
2
While holding down the [SEL] button of the first channel, press the [SEL] but-
ton of the second channel.
The settings of the first channel are copied to the second channel and the channels are
paired. The [SEL] button indicator of the currently selected channel lights up, while the
[SEL] button indicator of the other channel flashes.
To cancel a pair, while holding down the [SEL] button of the first channel, press the [SEL]
button of the second channel.
The following channel parameters are copied, and controlled together, when channels are
paired: Fader, On/Off, Insert On/Off, Aux/Matrix On/Off, Aux Send Mode, Aux/Matrix
Send Level, Aux/Matrix Pre/Post, Aux Pre Point, Gate parameters, Compressor parameters,
Comp Position, EQ parameters, Fader group, Mute group, EQ group, Comp group, Solo,
Solo Safe, [AUTO] button, Fade Time, Recall Safe, Bus to Stereo On/Off, Bus to Stereo
Level.
The following channel parameters are not copied, or controlled together, when channels are
paired: Input Patch, Insert Patch, Output Patch, Phase, Delay On/Off, Delay Time, Delay
Feedback, Delay Mix, Routing, Pan, Follow Pan, Surround Pan, Bus to Stereo Pan,
Aux/Matrix Send Pan, Balance.
When channels are paired, the Attenuator value is copied, but the changes made in the
Attenuator page are not reflected in the pair partner. However, if you change the values in
the EQ Edit page, Parameter view page, or on the control surface, the changes will be
reflected in the pair partner while maintaining the relative level difference.
When Aux Send Mode is set to Fixed, Aux Send On/Off is not controlled together.
Check the Routing ST Pair Link check box to link the routing from the paired channels to
the Stereo Bus. See “Setting Preferences” on page 274 for more information.
Note: When the AUX/SOLO LINK or FADER/SOLO RELEASE check box is checked, the solo
setting is cancelled.
