The volume level of each track can be adjusted over a range of -12Ð12dB.

■Causing top panel fader and pan knob operations to take

effect immediately

When the volume or pan has been adjusted in Channel Edit condition, switching between INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX can cause the fader or pan knob locations to no longer match the actual volume level or pan. In such cases, an Ò✱Ó symbol will be appended to the displayed values of the set- tings. Also, when the fader or pan locations are shown in the bar display, the current channel fader locations will blink.

2.Press [YES].

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS FaderMatch” appears.

Jump: The actual value will change at the instant that the fader or pan knob is moved.

5.Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)].

You will return to Play condition.
