Editing Mixes: Chapter 5

LEVEL SETTING FOR EACH PROGRAM

The Level function of Mix Edit is used to control several parameters that deal with the audio output of the selected channel. Parameters in the Level Function’s group include: Volume, Pan, Output, Effects Send Level, Effects Bus and Program Enable.

Program Enable (On or Off) Page 1

This determines whether the selected channel is enabled or disabled. When disabled, no sound will be heard. The Channel indicator in the display for a disabled channel will not appear.

✪Even if a channel is enabled, it will not play unless the proper settings in the RANGE (LOW/HIGH) and MIDI/KEYBOARD functions are made (see pages 42 & 44).

Program Volume (00 to 99) Page 2

This sets the overall volume for a channel. Higher numbers give higher levels.

Program Pan (<3 to 3>, or PROG ) Page 3

This determines the pan position of the selected channel. When set to PROG, the Pan setting will be that stored with the Program assigned to the selected channel. However, you can override this setting by selecting a different value, thereby assigning the channel’s panning between the left and right outputs.

Output (Main, Aux, Off, or PROG) Page 4

This determines the audio output assignment for the selected channel. When set to PROG, the channel will use the Output assignment of the Program. However, you can override this assignment by setting this parameter to something different. To send the sound’s output to the Main outputs, select Main. To send the sound’s output to the Aux outputs, select Aux. When set to OFF, the channel will not be sent to the outputs (but can still feed an effect bus).

TIP: To send a sound to an individual output, use Output in conjunction with Pan. Example: Panning a sound full left and selecting the Aux outputs means that the sound will appear at only the left Aux output.

Effect Level (00 to 99, or PROG) Page 5

This determines the amount of signal from the selected channel that will be sent to the effects, using one of the four effects buses as determined by the Effect Bus parameter (see below). When set to PROG, the effect level will be that stored by the channel’s Program.

Effect Bus (1, 2, 3, 4, or PROG) Page 6

This determines which effect bus the selected channel will be routed to. When set to PROG, the effect bus assignment will be that stored by the channel’s Program. 1, 2, 3 or 4 overrides the Program’s bus assignment, sending all sound layers of the Program to the chosen bus.
