  Use the VALUE dial to adjust the signal level 

suitably in a 0–100 range. The lower the 

number is, the lower the output level becomes 

(default value: 

100

). 

NOTE

A take that was recorded without decoding (mid 

 

and side channels recorded as is) can also be 

decoded during playback

 

by setting 

MS MODE

 

to 

MONITOR

. When decoding during playback, 

output will be of the stereo mix.
To record without decoding, set the 

 

MS MODE

 to 

OFF

 or 

MONITOR

If set to 

 

MONITOR

, you can monitor the decoded 

signal during recording. 

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 number keys 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

 

keys 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

 dial in the same direction will 

not further increase or decrease the other channel 

parameters.

If you press and hold the 

VALUE

 dial 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 key 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, at the 

PAN

 screen and the 

LEVEL

 screen, 

a channel pair that is set to MS decoding cannot be 

activated or deactivated the GANG function. 

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.
