Listening Only to a Specific Channel (Solo/Mute)

When making equalizer adjustments or checking the balance during mixdown, it is often desirable to be able to monitor the sound of one specific channel. Although it would be possible to individually mute each of the channels that you didn’t want to hear with STATUS buttons, this is inconvenient. In such cases, you can monitor only a specific channel and mute all the other channels. This is called the Solo function. To use the Solo function, use the following procedure. If, in contrast to the Solo function, you wish to mute only specific channels, this is called the Mute function.

3.Monitor and Mute alternate each time you press SELECT button. Furthermore, you can monitor two or more channels. However, channels which were muted before the Solo function was turned on cannot be monitored even when their SELECT buttons are pressed. Additionally, when you are monitoring just one channel, pressing the SELECT button of that channel allows you to then monitor all channels. At this time, you will be able to hear the automix status of each channel while you con- tinue pressing [AUTOMIX].

4.To turn off the Solo function, hold down [SHIFT] and press the [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)] once again.

Return to Play condition.

Muting Only to a Specific Channel

1.Hold down [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)].

This turns the Mute function on; the SELECT button indicators are all blink. In the present status, all chan- nels are monitored.

2.While holding down [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)], press the SELECT button for the channel you wish to mute.

The button indicator goes off, and only that channel is now muted. You can also mute two or more channels.

Listening Only to a Specific Channel

1.Hold down [SHIFT] and press [SOLO (EZ ROUT-

ING)] in the master section.

The display will briefly indicate “SOLO Mode ON,” indicating that the Solo function is on. The display in the CONDITION field will alternate between the name of the current condition and “sol,” also indicat- ing that the Solo function is on. At the same time, the SELECT indicators for each channels are blink. In the present status, all channels are monitored.

2.Press the SELECT button for the channel you wish to monitor.

The SELECT indicator stays blink, and only that chan- nel is now monitored. At this time you can make adjustments to fader, balance, equalizer, effects, and other settings.

3.Monitor and Mute alternate each time you press [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)] and SELECT button. The muted state will remain valid even if you take your hand off [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)] or the SELECT button. If you wish to switch the input/track/effect return, press [FADER (EDIT)].

4.If you wish to monitor all channels, hold down [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)] and press [CLEAR].
