[PAIR/GROUP] Key

The S/P DIF function page lets you assign the S/P DIF digital two-track input to any odd-even pair of channels (e.g., 1&2, 13&14, etc.).

The Ø PHASE function page lets you invert the phase for each of input channels 1 through 20.

Press a Page Select key to specify Channels 1-8, 9-16, or 17-20.

You can also use the [ROUTING/PHASE] key in conjunction with the [PAIR/GROUP] key to enter MMC mode. (For more information, see “MMC (MIDI Machine Control) Send” on page 192.)

ROUTING/PHASE Key

Function Pages	Includes parameters that enable you to...

1:ROUTING	Route input channels 1-20 to ST BUSS, REC BUSS, or ADAT
	DIRECT.

2:S/P DIF	Assign S/P DIF digital input to any odd-even channel pair.

3:Ø PHASE	Invert phase for each input channel.

[PAIR/GROUP] Key

The [PAIR/GROUP] key displays a sequence of three function pages that enable you to pair channels, mute groups of channels, or group faders under the control of a single fader.

The CHANNEL PAIR (CH PAIR) function page enables you to pair any two odd-even channels using the [EQ EDIT] keys.

The MUTE GROUP function page enables you to create three groups of channels (Mute Groups A, B, and C) that you can silence instantly.

The FADER GROUP function page also enables you to create three groups of channels (Fader Groups A, B, and C). Faders in a group can be con- trolled by a single fader.

Use the Page Select keys to specify Channels 1-8, 9-16, or 17-20; use the [EQ EDIT], [SOLO], and [ON] keys to apply these functions to spe- ciﬁc channels.

You can also press the [ROUTING/PHASE] key simultaneously with the [PAIR/GROUP] key to enter MMC mode. (For more information, see “MMC (MIDI Machine Control) Send” on page 192.)

PAIR/GROUP Key

Function Pages	Includes parameters that enable you to...

1:CH PAIR	Pair odd-even input channels.

2:MUTE GROUP	Create Mute Groups A, B, C

3:FADER GROUP	Create Fader Groups A, B, C

[CH VIEW] Key

The Channel View [CH VIEW] key displays a sequence of three func- tion pages that display settings for speciﬁc channels, and allow you to copy channel and EQ settings from a source channel to destina- tion channels.
