Alternative method to Create a Surround/Multi Input
The other method of creating a Surround or Multi Channel is very similar but starts with an empty channel strip.
1) Press the LCD Function button and select Create Multi.
2) Any blank channel strips will now have the words “Create Multi” written in their LCD display.
3) Press one of the Channel Select buttons on a blank strip and the Select Multi Channels will be displayed on screen.
4) Select a Multi Channel type which is either a surround format of your choice or a Multi Input.
A Multi input can consist of up to 11 channels of your choice that you want to group together. This could be a number of sources of similar
type (eg strings or vocals)
5) Assuming that you have chosen 5.1 as an example you will then be prompted to select each leg of the 5.1 stem by pressing
worksurface channel select buttons. As you choose each one, the selection will automatically move to the next.
6) At this point you will also be required to either Leave the relevant channels on the worksurface (in addition to the ones in the Multi) or
Remove the relevant channels from the worksurface and only have them in the Multi. The suggested method would be to Remove the
selected channels as otherwise they will exist in two places and possibly cause confusion.
7) When all the legs have been selected, press the OK button and the Multi Channel will be created in the same worksurface position as
the channel that was used to start the process.
