Channel Parameter Edit

You can edit the various parameter settings such as pan and equalizers for channels 1 through 16 and the master channel. We refer this type of editing as "Channel parameter edit". There are several channel parameter edit keys on the top panel (as shown below) and pressing the dedicated key for the parameter you want to edit brings up the corresponding edit screen. Some keys also handle the second parameter (labeled under the key) and you can bring up the corresponding edit screen by pressing the key while holding down the [SHIFT] key. You can view and/or edit the following parameters.

•Pan setting

•3-band equalizer setting

•Effect send level setting

•Pre/post selection of the effect send

<Caution>

If you must edit channel param- eters such as setup of PAN or EQ, be sure to check that the "Scene Sequence Mode", explained later, is switched "Off". Should the pa- rameters be edited with this "Scene Sequence Mode" switched "On", the parameters will be re- turned to their original setting when VF160EX is operated in PLAY or STOP. Refer to page 66 for "On/off of the Scene Sequence

Adjusting Pan

You can adjust the pan (or balance) of each input chan- nel signal fed to the stereo outputs, as well as fed to the Rec buss outputs. The panpot for master channel con- trols the L/R level balance of the stereo outputs.

1.Press the [PAN] key.

All channel settings are shown on the screen.

The first time you bring up the channel parameter edit screen, the message prompting to select a channel ("Select CH!") flashes, as well as all the CH STATUS/CH SEL indicators on the panel flash.

From the second time on, the previously selected channel is selected and ready to be edited when bringing up the screen (as shown in the drawing of step 2 below).
