48 Chapter 5—Input Channels

be located using the [OPTION I/O] button.

Panpots can also be adjusted on this page by using the cursor buttons to select the PAN control and the PARAMETER wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to set it.

Including center, there are 33 pan positions.

Input channels 1 through 12 and 17 through 24 feature a single panpot, as shown here.

Input channels 13/14 and 15/16 (and the effects returns) feature dual pan- pots, with the inner panpots being odd-numbered channel pans 13 and 15 (effects returns left), and the outer panpots being even-numbered channel pans 14 and 16 (effects returns right). When working with stereo signals, these dual panpots can be used to adjust the width of stereo signals, as shown below.

With the inner control set at L16 and the outer control set at R16, as shown here, the width of a stereo signal is 100%.

With both controls set at CENTER, as shown here, the width of the stereo signal is zero (i.e., mono).

Setting the controls to positions in between these two extremes allows you to set the width of the stereo signal. To maintain a central balance, however, you must set both controls to corresponding values. For example, L8 and R8, or L10 and R10.

Pan Modes

The three Pan modes, INDIVIDUAL, GANG, and INV. GANG, determine how the panpots operate on input channels 13/14, 15/16 (and the effects returns), and paired input channels 1 through 12. Since input channels 17 through 24 cannot be paired, they are not affected by the Pan modes.

1.Use the cursor buttons to select the MODE parameter, and the PARAM- ETER wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to select a mode.

INDIVIDUAL—In this mode, panpots function independently.

GANG—In this mode, panpots are ganged (i.e., linked) together.

INV. GANG—In this mode, panpots are ganged together but operation is inverted (i.e., panpots move in opposite directions).
