Activating Link
Stereo pairs are created by clicking the LINK button between two adjacent channels.
Caution: When Link is activated, all channel and plug-in settings in the right
channel are overwritten by the plug-ins and gains in the left channel. This opera-
tion cannot be undone.
When Link is activated:
• The LINK button text changes to UNLINK
• One set of controls is available for the stereo channel
• All current control settings of the left channel are copied to the right channel
• All inserted plug-ins in the left channel are converted to stereo (parameter values
are retained)
• The level meter changes to a stereo level meter
Link Deactivation
The stereo pair is separated back into individual channels by clicking the UNLINK but-
ton. When LINK is deactivated, all current control settings and inserted plug-ins for the
stereo channel are copied to both resulting mono channels.
Link Constraint
Odd-numbered channels can only be linked to the next even-numbered channel (for ex-
ample, channel 1 can be linked to channel 2, but channel 2 cannot be linked to channel
3).
Gains Options
The Gains Options (in the Main Column, below the View Menu) enable
various views to be changed, and operations to be performed, on the
channels displayed within Gains View.
View Options
The Inputs, Outputs, and Both options change the I/O channels that
are displayed. They do not use latching or modifiers.
Note: One of the view options is always active, including when a
latched option is being performed.
Latched Options
The Default and Isolate option operations are accomplished by select-
ing the option to latch the function, executing the operation(s), then
exiting the function.
These latched options use the same methodology as Inserts View. For complete details
about latched operations, see
“Option Latch” on page 65 .
