6 - Using the Settings Panel 2 COMPRESSOR When the input volume exceeds the THRESHOLD level, the input volume is compressed, reducing output volume variation. For example, by reducing the levels of sounds that are high level, lower level sounds become relatively louder, creating a more even volume level throughout and a more sustained sound. (See "COMPRESSOR display area overview" on page 19.) Click the Select (5) button of a channel to make compressor settings for it. Compressor settings are shown here for the channel selected using its Select (5) button. NOTE • If the input is a stereo signal (stereo-linked channel or master), compression will start and be applied to both channels when either the left or right input channel exceeds the threshold level. • When the compressor is off, the compressor curve will appear but the meters will not be active. 3 Mode This shows the operation mode of the unit set using the MODE button on its front panel. 4 REVERB This effect adds reverberations to the original sound. Multiple sounds are delayed at various times with damping over time that is as natural as possible to produce reverberations like those of a hall, live-music club or studio, for example.

The indicator lights blue at levels of 0 dB or less and yellow at levels from 0 dB to 6 dB. q SOLO buttons The SOLO buttons change according to the current mode. When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode, if a channel is soloed (SOLO button turned on), channels that have not been soloed will automatically be muted (in place solo monitoring). When the unit is in MIXER mode, channels that are soloed (SOLO buttons turned on) will be sent to the SOLO bus and channels that have not been soloed will automatically be muted (PFL solo monitoring). The MUTE buttons of muted channels will light. (Default: off ) Multiple channels can also be soloed at the same time when the unit is in AUDIO I/F or MIXER mode. NOTE • When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode and all the SOLO buttons are off, clicking a SOLO button will solo that channel and automatically mute the other channels, lighting their MUTE buttons. • When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode if every SOLO button is turned off, channels that had been automatically muted will become unmuted. Channels that had been individually muted before any channel was soloed will remain muted. • The MASTER L/R channel MUTE button will not turn on automatically when the unit enters solo mode.

COMPRESSOR
When the input volume exceeds the THRESHOLD level,
the input volume is compressed, reducing output volume
variation.
For example, by reducing the levels of sounds that are high
level, lower level sounds become relatively louder, creating
a more even volume level throughout and a more sustained
sound. (See “COMPRESSOR display area overview” on page
19.)
Click the Select (
5
) button of a channel to make
compressor settings for it.
Compressor settings are shown here for the channel
selected using its Select (
5
) button.
NOTE
•
If the input is a stereo signal (stereo-linked channel or
master), compression will start and be applied to both
channels when either the left or right input channel exceeds
the threshold level.
•
When the compressor is off, the compressor curve will
appear but the meters will not be active.

REVERB
This effect adds reverberations to the original sound.
Multiple sounds are delayed at various times with damping
over time that is as natural as possible to produce rever-
berations like those of a hall, live-music club or studio, for
example. (See “REVERB display area overview” on page

To select a different channel, click that channel's button. The
previously selected channel button will become unlit, and
the newly selected channel button will light.
6
PHASE buttons
Use these to change the phases of the signals on each
channel.
If the phase becomes reversed due to the wiring of micro-
phones or other causes, click these buttons to reverse the
phases of those channels.

PRE button lit
The signal is sent to the AUX bus
before adjustment by the channel
fader.
The AUX level will not be affected by
the channel fader.
POST button lit
The signal is sent to the AUX bus after
adjustment by the channel fader.
The AUX level will be affected by the
channel fader.

AUX 1–4 knobs and indicators
Use to adjust the levels of the signals sent to the AUX bus
(AUX levels).
Range: inf to 6 dB (default: inf)
Use the mouse to click and drag an AUX knob up or down to
adjust that AUX level.
While dragging the mouse, the value being adjusted is
shown below and to the right of the AUX knob.
The indicator lights blue at levels of 0 dB or less and yellow
at levels from 0 dB to 6 dB.
q
SOLO buttons
The SOLO buttons change according to the current mode.
When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode, if a channel is
soloed (SOLO button turned on), channels that have not
been soloed will automatically be muted (in place solo
monitoring).
When the unit is in MIXER mode, channels that are soloed
(SOLO buttons turned on) will be sent to the SOLO bus and
channels that have not been soloed will automatically be
muted (PFL solo monitoring).
The MUTE buttons of muted channels will light. (Default: off)
Multiple channels can also be soloed at the same time when
the unit is in AUDIO I/F or MIXER mode.
NOTE
•
When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode and all the SOLO
buttons are off, clicking a SOLO button will solo that
channel and automatically mute the other channels,
lighting their MUTE buttons.
•
When the unit is in AUDIO I/F mode if every SOLO button is
turned off, channels that had been automatically muted
will become unmuted. Channels that had been individually
muted before any channel was soloed will remain muted.
•
The MASTER L/R channel MUTE button will not turn on
automatically when the unit enters solo mode.
