Simultaneously Adjusting a
Stereo Source (Channel Link)
When recording or playing back a stereo source, nor-
mal mixer operations require you to control the left
and right channels separately, which can make it
inconvenient to adjust equalizer, effects, and other set-
tings. In such cases, you can have the settings for a
pair of channels, with the exception of the fader and
pan settings, linked so that they adjusted in the same
way. This is called the Channel Link.
When Channel Link is on, adjacent odd- and even-
numbered channels are paired as shown below. The
settings of each odd-numbered channel will be the
same as the settings of the corresponding even-num-
bered channel. When the setting of one channel are
modified, the settings of the paired channel will
change in the same way.
At this time, you can use the channel faders and pan
knobs to make the following adjustments.
Odd-numbered channel faders:
Overall volume level of the signal that is output to the
mix bus or the recording bus (Offset Level)
Off-numbered channel pan knobs:
Overall left/right balance of the signal that is output
to the mix bus or the recording bus (Offset Balance)
Even-numbered channel faders:
Overall volume level of the signal that is output to the
AUX bus (AUX level)
Even-numbered channel pan knobs:
Overall left/right balance of the signal that is output
to the AUX bus (AUX balance)
1. Press [CH EDIT (SELECT)] for the channels for
which you wish to have Channel Link turned on.
2. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ], so that
“Channel Link=” appears in the display.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. For now, select
“On.”

This turns the Channel Link function on and off.
4. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
Adjusting the Faders
When Channel Link is on, the balance of both channels
is preserved, and the total volume level controlled
with fader for the odd-numbered channel. If you want
the channel faders to act independently, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Press [CH EDIT (SELECT)] for the channels for
which you wish to adjust that channel’s fader.
2. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ], so that “MIX
Sw =” appears in the display.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
MIX Sw (Mix Switch)
This selects the bus to which the source or track out-
put will be assigned. For this example select “On.”
On: The source or track will not be assigned to a
recording bus, but will be sent directly to the
mix bus. Set this to “On” when, for example,
you simply want to mix the inputs without
recording the source. However, the sources that
are assigned to the RECORDING bus are dis-
abled.
Off: The source or track will not be assigned to the
mix bus. If it is not assigned to a recording bus
either, then that source/track will not be output
anywhere.
4. Press PARAMETER [ ], so that “MIX Level”
appears in the display.
5. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
MIX Level
Adjust the volume level (0–127) of the signal that is
output to the mix bus or the recording bus.
