Information shown in the display Function menu Global functions Output functions • SLOT 3/4 Up to 30 channels of audio signals can be received via input channels 1-16 of I/O cards installed in slots 3 and 4. (Since channels 15/16 of SLOT 4 are not used, only 30 channels are actually available.) If you choose this setting, the signals from the CASCADE IN connector (channels 1-32) will be assigned to channels 1-16 of the SLOT IN 3/4 ports instead.

(Since channels 7/8 of SLOT 4 are not used, only 30 channels are actually available.) If you choose this setting, the signals from the CASCADE IN connector (channels 1-32) will be assigned to channels 1-8 of the SLOT IN 1-4 ports instead.

(Since channels 15/16 of SLOT 4 are not used, only 30 channels are actually available.) If you choose this setting, the signals from the CASCADE IN connector (channels 1-32) will be assigned to channels 9-16 of the SLOT IN 1-4 ports instead.

O CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT Select one of the following as the signal source that will be output from the CASCADE OUT connector. Hint If you select a setting other than CASCADE OUT, the same signals will be output both to the corresponding slots and to the CASCADE OUT connector. • CASCADE OUT The audio signals sent by the cascade function will be output from the CASCADE OUT connector. If PM5D is selected as the transmission destination (N), control signals for parameter linkage will also be transmitted and received. The type of signals that are output can be selected in the CASCADE screen. • SLOT 3/4 The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) as are output from output channels 1-16 of slots 3/4 will be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector. • SLOT 1-4 [CH1-8] The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) that are output from output channels 1-8 of slots 1-4 will also be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector. • SLOT 1-4 [CH9-16] The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) that are output from output channels 9-16 of slots 1-4 will also be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector. P CASCADE MODE Choose one of the following two modes of operation when multiple PM5D units are cascade-connected. • MASTER If the Cascade function is enabled, control signals will be sent to an external PM5D. • SLAVE If the Cascade function is enabled, control signals will be received from an external PM5D. Q BI-DIRECTION (Bi-directional communication) When multiple PM5D units are connected, this button selects whether they will mix each other's audio signals. Set the Cascade mode and the BI-DIRECTION button according to the type of cascade connection, as discussed below. If you cascade-connect two PM5D units in a "ring" topology (i.e., connect the CASCADE IN connector of each unit to the OUT connector of the other unit), set the cascade mode to MASTER on one unit and SLAVE on the other unit. Turn the BI-DIRECTION button On for both units.
