Fostex VF160EX Pair Fader setting [Pair Fader Set]

146
The “Pair Fader Set” menu sets whether or not you simultaneously control the adjacent odd and even chan-
nels.
Normally, each channel fader on the VF160EX acts independently. By setting "Pair Fader Set" to "On", you can
pair faders of two adjacent channels, allowing the odd channel fader to control the partner (even) channel's
level. This function is useful for stereo source, etc.
You can also control "Pair Fader channels" simultaneously during channel parameter editing, etc. See <Hint!>
below.
• Initial setting: "Off" for all pair channels
• Options: "On", "Off" for each pair
channels
* You can set the value for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF160EX.
