Basic operation of the AW2400

Switching Mixing Layers

Switching mixing layers affects the functions of [ON] keys 1–12, [SEL] keys 1–12, and faders 1–12, allowing efficient control in a variety of signal- routing configurations. Remote control of external equipment is also possi- ble.

Different mixing layers are selected via the keys in the LAYER section. The key corresponding to the currently selected mixing layer will be lit.

The mixer section controls correspond to the various mixing layers as fol-

* Operation depends on settings. Refer to page 204 for details.

For example, if the LAYER section [IN 1-8] key is engaged and the [SEL] 1 key is pressed, input channel 1 will be selected. If the LAYER section [TRACK 1-12] is then engaged and the same [SEL] 1 key is pressed, track channel 1 will be selected.

HINT

The [STEREO SEL] key, [STEREO ON] key, and [STEREO] fader always control the stereo output channel. These controls are not affected by layer switching.

Introducing the AW2400

Using the Selected Channel section

You can use the knobs and keys of the Selected Channel section to directly operate the mix parameters (EQ, dynamics, pan, etc.) of the currently selected channel.

1 Use the [SEL] keys or [STEREO SEL] key to select the channel that you want to operate.

The currently selected channel is indicated in the upper left of the screen. The channels correspond to each key as follows.
