GANG function
The GANG function allows you to adjust multiple channels
at the same time on the
TRIM
,
PAN
and
LEVEL
screens.
Set the range of channels to be ganged by pressing the
channel number (1–6) buttons for the channels at both
ends of the range at the same time.
For example, to gang channels 3–5, press the 3 and 5
buttons at the same time. When you do so, channels
3
-
5
will appear selected on the screen as shown in the
illustration below.
You can create multiple gangs of channels by setting each
gang separately. However, no channel can be part of more
than one gang.
When ganged, you can adjust parameters for the ganged
channels at the same time.
If the parameter setting for any of the ganged channels
reaches its maximum or minimum value, turning the
VALUE/MARK knob in the same direction will not further
increase or decrease the other channel parameters.
If you press and hold the VALUE/MARK knob while
multiple channels are selected, the parameter values for all
of the ganged channels will be set to the lowest value of
the channels.
Any of the following actions will deactivate the GANG
function.
• Press any button that corresponds to a channel that is
currently ganged.
• Put the unit power in standby.
• Activate or Deactivate MS decoding.
• Use the INITIALIZE function.
When using the GANG function, the ganged channels are
the same on the
TRIM
,
PAN
and
LEVEL
screens. However,
channels that have been set to use mid-side decoding
cannot be ganged or unganged on the
PAN
and
LEVEL
screens.
NOTE
• You cannot gang channels that are set to use MS
decoding with channels that are not. However, you can
gang such channels separately.
• You cannot gang channels that are set to use different
types of MS decoding.
• When designating a range that includes multiple
channel pairs set to use MS decoding, only the
channels in the pair with the lowest number is ganged.
• If only one of the channels in a pair set to use MS
decoding is included in the range, none of the channels
will be ganged together.
• When dual recording is enabled, the GANG function
cannot be used. (See “Enabling dual recording” on
page 31.)
