In combination with the AUTO/REC switches in the channel
strips, the AUTOMATION switches are used to control the
dynamic automation of your mixing console. Please read chapter
11 “DYNAMIC AUTOMATION” for a description of the functions
performed by these controls.
3. DIGITAL CHANNEL PROCESSING
Each of the 32 input channels as well as the stereo main mix
bus are equipped with a full-featured 4-band EQ and a
comprehensive set of dynamics, including a digital compressor/
limiter and gate. The first 16 inputs also have a delay section.
All settings for the digital channel processing are stored in the
SNAPSHOT AUTOMATION memories, enabling you to load or
save an entire mix at any time, including all EQ, dynamics and
delay settings.
The digital channel processing functions are controlled on
screen with the help of the corresponding master controllers.
The EQ, compressor, gate and delay sections have their own
menu pages, which can be recalled with the CHANNEL
PROCESSING switches (PROC).
A library including a variety of factory presets and a convenient
store function is available for specific channels and for individual
EQ, dynamics and delay sections.
3.1 CHANNEL LIBRARIES
Use the CHANNEL LIBRARY function to store the complete
settings of one channel strip in the form of a single preset. 128
memory locations are available, 40 of which have been filled
with factory presets created by professional audio engineers to
give you a starting point for a wide range of applications.
The channel library stores the compressor, gate, EQ and delay
settings of one channel strip, and can be accessed via the
FADER menus. Simply press one of the fader bank switches to
display the CHANNEL LIBRARY menu for the channel selected
with the SELECT switch.

In order to load a CHANNEL LIBRARY preset, turn or press the
two master controllers below the preset list (SELECT PRESET),
until the preset of your choice has been selected, then use the
master controller named RECALL. The first 40 memory locations
are factory presets that cannot be overwritten. The remaining
memories are for user presets. CURRENT PRESET shows the
currently active preset.
Press the master controller STORE to store a CHANNEL
LIBRARY preset. This will open the STORE CHANNEL PRESET
menu.
Fig. 3.2: STORE CHANNEL PRESET menu
The master controllers below the preset list (STORE TO)
determine which preset memory will be used. Edit the preset
name with the corresponding controls (master controllers 3-5).
Press master controller 3 to delete the name displayed under
“STORE AS”; controller 4 determines the cursor position, and
controller 5 the character to be entered. Finally, press ENTER to
store your preset, or CANCEL to return to the CHANNEL LIBRARY
menu.
Individual library functions are available for the EQ, dynamics
and effects section. The operation of these functions is identical
to the CHANNEL LIBRARY.
