Input channel operations
Various operations for input channels
When the PM5D is in the default state, the encoders of the
INPUT channel strip and ST IN/FX RTN channel strip are
assigned to control send levels to MIX buses 1–24. How-
ever you can use the various ENCODER MODE keys to
select one of the following as the function of the encoders.
The currently selected function is shown by the key that is
lit and by the encoder mode indicator.
Repeatedly pressing the [PAN] key or [ALT LAYER] key
will alternate between the function selected by that key and
the MIX bus send level. Repeatedly pressing the [GAIN/
ATT] key will alternate between the following three
choices; input sensitivity to the internal head amp → atten-
uator → MIX bus send level.
Hint
If the FADER section [FLIP] key is on, the functions controlled
by the encoders and faders will be exchanged.
You can use the FADER [FLIP] key to exchange the func-
tions assigned to the faders and encoders of the channel
strip.
For example with the default setting (FADER [FLIP] key
off), the faders control the input channel input levels, and
the encoders control the send levels to the MIX buses. If
you then press the FADER [FLIP] key to make the LED
light, the faders will control the send levels to the MIX
buses and the encoders will control the input channel
input levels.
The function assigned to the controls when the [FLIP] key is on (LED lit) will depend on the current encoder mode as follows.
Note
The DCA channel strip and STEREO A/B channel strip are not affected by the on/off status of the [FLIP] key.

*1. In the INPUT channel str ip, the CH 1-24 layer and the CH
25-48 layer are in a “front/rear” relation. In the ST IN/FX
RTN channel strip, the ST IN 1-4 layer and the FX RTN 1-4
layer are in a “front/rear” relation.
