Combining Input Channels (Make Stereo)
Pairs of mono Input Channels can be combined to make ste-
reo channels, whose left and right sides are then controlled by
one input channel strip.
Combined Input Channels are shown in the patchbay as left
and right sides of the Input Channel name. FX Returns are al-
ways stereo, so they cannot be combined or split.
To combine pairs of mono D-Show Profile input channels and
make them stereo:
1 Put D-Show into Config mode.
2 Press the Select switches, or click on the mono channel pairs
on-screen, that you want to combine. The channels do not
need to be contiguous.
3 Right-click either of the selected mono channels and choose
Make Selected Mono Strips Stereo.
Each selected channel is combined with the next-highest se-
lected channel, even if the selected channels are not contigu-
ous. Channel order on the control surface is rearranged to ac-
commodate the new stereo channels. All parameter values
from the leftmost channel of each pair are applied to both
channels.
The input meter lights to indicate that a channel is a stereo
channel.
To split stereo channels and make them mono:
1 Put D-Show into Config mode.
2 Select the stereo channel you want to split into mono chan-
nels.
3 Right-click the selected channel and choose Split Selected
Stereo Strip to Mono.
Each selected stereo channel is split, placing the channels
next to each other on the control surface and in the Patchbay.
Channel order on the control surface is rearranged to accom-
modate the new mono channels.
