Thg HR-1
6 has
two stereo
outputs
(four
individual
outputs).
The volume
slider is active
on
only ths
firsl stereo
outpul
(output
1). In addition,
il only
one side
of an output
is
connacted,
the stsreo
mix assigned
on
ihat storso
output becomes
a mono
mix on
that
single output.
This saves
having
lo reconstruct
a mono
mix from
a stereo
mix, when only
a
single
output is
being used.
Using Four
outputs,

leaves all

as desired
and the kick
and snare
