PM5D / PM5D-RH Quick Start Guide Part 3
13
Entering names and doing the patch; the planning stage.
When preparing a show fi le with the PM5DV2 Editor it is important to remember the layout of the actual console surface
and the limitations of using paired/stereo channels. Some important points to remember;
1) Mono channels can be paired to make stereo but only adjacent odd / even channels.
2) There are 24 channels in each mono layer and stereo channels are in two layers of 4 so avoid putting groups of
related channels across the layers. (Just like splitting related channels across a center-master analog console.)
“THE EXAMPLES” have less than 64 channel requirement and many are stereo so they can be accommodated on a
single PM5D.
The most obvious candidates for the stereo channels are the effects returns, CD and ambience mics. There needs to be
one more stereo channel; this could be a stereo keyboard or stereo sampler line; but in this example the drum overhead
mics were chosen.
The revised list here shows this in the “First Attempt” column.

At this stage it is noted that the stereo sampler lines
are in even + odd pairs so they cannot be linked into
pairs. By making the decision to move a single channel
the pairing can be made; this is labeled second
attempt.
With “THE EXAMPLES”, the choice is made to keep the
Simon vocal as the last channel in a layer; making it
quick to fi nd.
