VM04 Owner’s manual

6. Channel Edit Mode

This mode is used to set the PAN, EQ, EFFECT SEND and EFFECT POST/PRE on each input channel.

The CHANNEL EDIT key on each input channel has exactly the same mode of operation. Therefore, we will discuss their functions using Channel 1 as an example. Press the Channel 1 CHANNEL EDIT Key. The key itself will light up so that you will be able to confirm you have entered into the CHANNEL EDIT MODE. The LCD display will show the following message.

Character section

This will display “1-Pan: C”. This means that you can now adjust the Channel 1 PAN setting.At this point the setting will be at the center position between left and right. This is related to the VIEW Status Indicator as its dot is at the PAN position. You can use the VIEW key to change the item you want to adjust; PAN -> EQ Lo -> EQ Hi -> EFF -> POST/PRE -> PAN.

Channel Fader display

This will numerically indicate the current Channel 1 INPUT Fader position on a range from 00 to 99. When the indicator is showing 80, the INPUT Fader will be at the nominal setting.

<Useful info>

The VIEW key works in reverse if you keep pressing it for a while rather than hitting it once; PAN -> POST/ PRE -> EFF -> EQ Hi -> EQ Lo -> PAN.

6-1. PAN setting

1.Rotate the DATA ENCODER.

If you turn it clockwise, the character display will change to R1 -> R10 and the sound will gradually move to the right. At the same time, the PAN indication on the VIEW display will change to a single dot and move upwards (to R).

Similarly, if you turn the dial counter-clockwise, the display will change to L1 -> L10, the sound will move to the left and the indicator will move downwards (to L).

<Useful info>

When turning the DATA ENCODER, the position display will read L10 ~ C ~ R10 with a 21 step digital indication. And the actual sound will move smoothly without any clicking or stepping noise interference.

Indicates L1 ~ L10 or R1 ~ R10.
