    SELECTED CHANNEL sectionThe SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the left of the display corresponds to a channel 
    module of a conventional analog mixer, and allows you to use the knobs on the panel to set 
    all the major parameters of the currently-selected channel.
    Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL] 
    key. If you have assigned an ST IN channel or STEREO channel to a single channel strip, 
    either the L or the R channel will be selected, and the major parameters for L and R channels 
    will be linked.Operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL SectionFollow the steps below to perform operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
    NOTE
    • To select a MIX or MATRIX channel, use the Bank 
    Select keys to recall the desired channel to the 
    Centralogic section, and then press the [SEL] key for 
    the desired channel.
    • The number and name of the currently-selected 
    channel is shown in the channel select field located in 
    the Function Access Area of the touch screen.
    • If an ST IN channel or STEREO channel has been 
    assigned to a single channel strip, you can switch 
    between L and R by repeatedly pressing the same 
    [SEL] key.
    • You can also switch channels by pressing the channel 
    select field located in the Function Access Area. 
    Press the left side of the field to select the preceding channel. Press the right side of the field to 
    select the next channel.
    • If you have turned on the option“POPUP APPEARS WHEN KNOB(S) PRESSED” on the 
    PREFERENCE tab (accessed by pressing the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button), 
    pressing a knob repeatedly will open or close the screen (1 ch).• Even if a different screen is selected, the channel selected with the 
    [SEL] key can be set using the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL 
    section. In this case, a window indicating the value of that parameter will 
    appear on screen when you operate a knob.
    STEP
    1.Use the [SEL] key in the top panel INPUT section, ST IN section, or the STEREO/
    MONO section, to select the channel to control.
    2.Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
    3.Use the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL section and the buttons in the SELECTED 
    CHANNEL VIEW screen to edit the parameters of the selected channel.

    to each MIX/MATRIX bus. You can also switch the on/off status of the 
    send signals. The view and the function of the knobs and buttons in 
    the SEND field vary depending on whether a pair of bus channels 
    (odd-numbered and even-numbered) are comprised of two mono 
    channels or a stereo channel.1
    Ta b s
    Enable you to select a group of 16 output bus channels to be 
    displayed in the SEND field.

    displayed.
    3
    ON button
    Switches the send signal to the corresponding bus on or off.
    If the destination bus is a stereo channel:
    1
    SEND/PAN knob
    The right-hand knob adjusts the level of the signal sent to a pair of bus channels (even-
    numbered and odd-numbered). The left-hand knob adjusts the pan and balance of the 
    same signal.
    2
    PRE indicator
    The type of the corresponding bus is indicated.
    3

    BALANCE knob in this window. For a MIX channel, 
    the PAN knob will appear if the signal is mono, and the BALANCE knob will appear if the 
    signal is stereo.
    NOTE• For mono input channels, the pan level is nominal at center and +3dB when panned either left or 
    right. These levels do not change even if channel link is used.
    • For ST IN channels, if the PAN knob is selected, the pan level is nominal when panned either left 
    or right and -3dB at center. If the BALANCE knob is selected the balance level is nominal at 
    center and +3dB when panned either left or right. These levels do not change even if channel link 
    is used.
