Channel Linking
Channel linking is used to link DSP processing on the Sy80
card:
Up to 40 Link groups may be created, and the channels within
each group operate as a ganged link. In other words, adjust one
channel to adjust all channels in the group.
Links between channels are relative. For example, a change of
EQ level from -8 to -4dB will add 4dB to the level of linked EQs
in the group.
If you need to adjust the relative balance between linked
channels, you can temporarily disable the link, Select and Hold
the channel to temporarly unlink..
Note the following points on channel linking:
• Only channels of the same type can be linked; for
example, you cannot link input channels to output
channels or vice versa.
• For any channel type, you can link Faders and Mutes.
• On input channels, you can also link Delay (if assigned),
Gate, Compressor and Equaliser sections.
• On output channels, you can link Delay (if assigned),
and any internal processing (one of the 16 floating DSP
paths) inserted on the channel.
• To link output processing provided by a UM8 card use
the Link I/O display, see Page 421.
• On Smart Faders, you can link the master VCA faders
and mutes. To link individual channel processing, press
SEL to deploy the slaves; you can then select the
individual component channels.
• Channel links are saved and recalled from a Page.
Channel linking can be configured from the console, using
Smart Link mode, or from the LINK display.
The console also supports a Fast Link mode. This creates a
temporary link which you can use to update a parameter across
several channels on the fly, see Page 318.
