The Spread Control
When two channels are linked, they no longer have separate pan controls.
With the channel link comes a new feature, called Spread. The Spread control
varies the stereo image of the two linked channels from full stereo to mono.
This allows you to position stereo sources in your mix by controlling the
width of the stereo image.
Spread changes the panning of the left and right channels simultaneously.
Instead of having two channels panned 100% left and right, Spread allows
the channels to be panned to 60% left and right, for example.
The Effect of the Spread Control
Spread turns this:
into this, for example:
When you adjust the Pan control with a stereo‑linked channel selected, the
Pan LEDs show the width of the stereo spread that is currently set. Multiple
LEDs light to indicate the compression of the image from full stereo to
mono.
Solo Functions
Solo a Channel
While working with a mix, you may want to listen to a particular channel by
itself to check a part, locate or solve a problem, confirm a pan location, etc.
To do this you can use the Solo mode. Solo lets you listen to the selected
channel alone without disturbing the rest of the mix. Two types of Solo mode
are available; one functions on a channel by channel basis, the other (called
Held Solo) remains in force until the user exits it.
Solo mode works on the currently selected channel or Group. To use Solo,
first select the channel you want to hear alone. Its red button LED should
be lit. Now press the S
olo
button—the channel is now heard solo without
permanently changing the current mix.
You can make changes to volume and panning when a channel is in Solo
mode. All changes happen immediately. Consider Solo mode as a temporary
state only. You cannot save a Preset with a channel in Solo mode.
Only one channel, linked pair, or Group can be in solo at a time. To exit Solo
