17. FX INS

The FX INS display shows the number of any effect that’s been
inserted into the channel’s signal flow(Page 82), or “Off” if there are
no effects inserted in the channel.
Press ENTER/YES to jump to the FX Ins screen to insert an effect on
the channel, or to remove an insert effect. See Page 217.

18. DIR 1-8

Use the DIR 1-8 boxes to assign the channel to any of the eight Direct
busses (Page 208) pre- or post-fader (Page 209).

To assign a channel’s signal to a Direct bus from a CH EDIT VIEW screen:

1. Select the desired Direct bus box.
2. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial so that its number is highlighted.
Only one channel’s signal can be routed to a Direct bus at a time. When you assign a
channel to a Direct bus, it replaces the channel previously routed to the bus. For a list of
the channels currently routed to the Direct busses, press ENTER/YES. Press EXIT/NO
to close the list.

19. SOLO

Turn SOLO on to quickly isolate the channel by turning off any other channels
whose SOLO switch is not turned on. To solo multiple channels, you’ll find it
quicker to use Solo Mode (Page 143).

20. MUTE

Use a channel’s MUTE switch to quickly silence the channel’s signal. To quickly
mute more than one channel, use Mute mode (Page 143).

21. PAN

The PAN knob sets the channel’s stereo position in the MASTER mix and when
you’re performing a stereo bounce (Page 195). PAN can be set from L63—all the
way to the left—to R63—all the way to the right.
When the channel’s parameters are linked with another channel via the
ChLink parameter, the appearance of the PAN parameter changes to
show the stereo image created by the two linked channels. Adjusting the
PAN parameter’s value shifts their entire stereo image left or right while
maintaining the positions of the two channels relative to each other.
When a channel is soloed in Solo Mode, its SOLO switch is automatically turned on.
When a channel is muted in Mute Mode, its MUTE switch is automatically turned on.
Use the PAN parameter only when the channel’s signal is being sent to a stereo
destination, such as the MASTER mix, a pair of tracks or a pair of outputs.
