Input channel operations
Monaural input channels can be paired to link their princi-
pal parameters. There are two types of pairing; you can use
only one type.
Horizontal pair mode
This mode pairs adjacent odd-numbered/even-num-
bered channels (default setting).
Vertical pair mode
This mode pairs channels of different layers that share
the same fader.
Hint
Input channels that are paired will have their parameters
linked except for head amp, delay, pan, attenuation, and
phase.
Note
If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, pairing can
be specified only within each individual machine.

Using horizontal pairing

Here’s how to enable or defeat pairing for adjacent odd-
numbered/even-numbered channels.
1To enable pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of
one of the adjacent odd-numbered/even-num-
bered channels, and press the [SEL] key of the
other channel.
The parameters of the channel you pressed first will be
copied to the subsequently-pressed channel.
Hint
The copy-source channel is determined by the order in which
you press the [SEL] keys. For example if you hold down the
channel 1 [SEL] key and press the channel 2 [SEL] key, the
channel 1 parameters will be copied to channel 2.
2To defeat pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of
one of the paired channels and press the [SEL]
key of the other channel.
Note
If you are unable to enable/defeat pairing by using the above
procedure, make sure that MAKE PAIR ON PANEL is turned
on in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen
(
p.206).

Using vertical pairing

Here’s how to enable or disable pairing for channels of dif-
ferent layers that share the same fader.
1Repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key of
the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the MIXER
SETUP screen appears.
2Click the VERTICAL PAIR button in the PAIR
MODE area to turn it on.
A window will appear, asking you to confirm that you
want to change the pair mode.
3Click the OK button.
Now you can use “vertical pair” mode.
When you switch to “vertical pair” mode, new num-
bers will be assigned to the input channels. For details,
refer to p.221.
You can return to “horizontal pair mode” by clicking
the HORIZONTAL PAIR button to turn it on.
