Adjusting and storing STEP6 mixer settings

This section explains how you can adjust the volume, tone and pan etc. of the input/recording/playback for each channel, to create the desired overall balance of sound. This process is

known as “mixdown”.

Mixer settings can also be registered as a “scene”. Scenes can be selected as time passes during playback, or recalled as general-purpose settings.

1. Pairing settings

You can group the settings of adjacent odd/even mixer channels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6), so that changes made to the values of one channel will be reflected by both channels. This is referred to as “pairing”. This is convenient when you are mixing tracks that were recorded in stereo.

Pairing applies to the settings of the [TRACK STA- TUS] keys, high EQ “HEQ”, low EQ “LEQ”, effect send “Snd”, Aux send “Aux”, the [PAN] knobs and the [CHANNEL] faders.

Of these, you can specify for each setting other than the [TRACK STATUS] keys and the [CHAN- NEL] faders whether or not the setting will be paired when pairing is turned on.

■Pairing on/off

1To turn pairing on, simultaneously press the [EFFECT SEND] keys for the desired pair of adja- cent odd/even channels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6).

SENDSEND

When pairing is on, parameters for which pairing is enabled can be operated as follows.

[TRACK STATUS] keys, “HEQ”, “LEQ”, “Snd” and “Aux” can be set from either odd or even channel.

[CHANNEL] faders and [PAN] knobs (pan will function as the left/right balance adjustment when paired) are operated from the odd-numbered chan- nel (1, 3, 5). Adjustments made to the even-num- bered channel will be ignored.

When pairing is on, adjusting the EQ etc. will cause the display to appear as follows.

2To turn pairing off, simultaneously press the [EFFECT SEND] keys of the adjacent odd/even channels.

■Enabling parameters for pairing

For the [PAN] knobs, “Snd”, “Aux” and “EQ”, you can specify whether or not pairing will be enabled for each parameter. This setting is common to the entire song.

1Press the [EDIT] key, and then press the [SYSTEM] key several times (the indicator will light) to access the “ChPairSw” display.

3Rotate the [VALUE] dial to enable (o) or disable (-) pairing.

2.Adjusting the volume of each channel

You can adjust the input/recording/playback vol- ume of each channel. The available range extends from OFF to unity gain ( )* and an additional +12 dB of gain. Normally you will leave the faders set at unity gain, and rather than raising the fader for low-volume channels, it is best to make adjust- ments by lowering the other faders.

*Unity gain refers to the state at which the audio signal does not change, and is the optimal level for the sound.

✧To adjust the volume, raise or lower

the [CHANNEL] fader of the corre- sponding channel.

When pairing is on, use the odd-num- bered channel to make adjustments.

This parameter can be stored in a

scene.1

When the input monitor (refer to p.47) is set to AUTO, the faders of tracks whose [TRACK STA- TUS] is set to REC will affect only the input sound, and will not affect the playback sound (refer to p.58).
