5 – Channel modules : Module setup

You can also set all, odd-numbered, even-numbered or blocks of eight channels to the same value using the BATCH SETUP facility at the bottom of the screen.

Use the ENTER key to SET the value set with the POD 3 encoder to the channels chosen with POD 4.

Delay You can “slip” modules relative to each other in order to compensate for microphone placement, etc. This is the second tab of the DIGITAL TRIM/DELAY screen (it can also be set from the individual module screens).

As with other screens, you can use the cursor to move around and highlight the settings for four mod- ules, and the POD encoders to adjust these settings.

The BATCH SETUP works in the same way as the digital trim described above, with a few additions.

First, POD 1 can be used to change the position of the delay between pre-and post-fader for all chan- nels. Additionally, POD 2’s encoder changes the unit in which delay is measured between samples and milliseconds.

POD 3 and 4 and the ENTER key work in the same way as they do for the digital trim.

In addition to the channel delay, aux, buss and stereo modules can also have delay added.

Figure 5.21: Master delay screen

The operational difference between this and the channel delay screen is that the pre/post setting is not available on this screen.

Stereo linking

You can link two modules (channel modules, busses and aux sends) as stereo pairs when working with stereo input sources or stereo effect sends, etc.

When modules are linked, setting the following parameters (where these are available) on one of the paired modules echoes the settings on the other mod- ule of the pair:

•Digital trim

•Gate settings

•Compressor settings and insertion point

•EQ settings

•Aux send levels/pan-balance setting/pickoff point

•Mute

•Fader level

•Assignment

•Delay time

•Solo settings

•Grouping

•Automation status

•Pan mode

Where these settings are made using physical con- trols, moving one control of the pair will move the other control of the pair, and will affect the settings.
