Sub-mixer
The sub-mixer is typically used in mixdown mode to
provide additional inputs while the disk tracks are
being played back. An example of this would be if
MIDI instruments are being played back, synchro-
nized to the audio tracks recorded on the disk.
The sub-mixer allows the four inputs (
A
through
D
)
as well as the
AUX INPUTS
to be mixed together and
fed to the stereo output. On-screen level and pan con-
trols are available.
1
Assign inputs to the
SUB MIX
(see “Assigning
inputs to the sub-mixer” on page 37).
2
Assign the sub-mixer outputs to stereo
(“Assigning the sub-mixer to stereo” on
page 37).
3
When the
SUB MIX
key is pressed, the display
shows the
SUB MIX
screen:
The screen above shows that inputs
A
,
B
,
D
and
the
AUX
inputs have been assigned to the sub-
mixer. Input
C
is not assigned
(OFF
).
If you need to change these assignments, you
must use the
INPUT
and
SUB MIX
keys to make
the assignments, and press the
SUB MIX
key
again to show this screen if the display
changes.
NOTE
Remember that an input cannot be assigned to both a
mixer channel and the sub-mixer at the same time.

Use the cursor keys to move the cursor around
the fields (five pan settings and five level set-
tings) and the dial to change the values.
The maximum level for the levels is
127
and the
minimum value is
0
.
Pan settings can be made from
L63
(hard left)
through
C
(center) to
R63
(hard right).
If the
AUX INPUTS
are assigned to the sub-mixer,
they are treated as a stereo pair. The two inputs can-
not be adjusted independently, and the pan control
affects both channels together.
NOTE
There is no master level control for the sub-mixer; this set-
ting must be done by adjusting the individual input levels.
The inputs assigned to the sub-mixer and the output from
the sub-mixer cannot be used with either the internal effec-
tors or the effect or aux loop. All effect processing on sig-
nals used to and from the sub-mixer must be done outside
the 788.
