the selected channel between pre-and post-Fat Channel.

channel to an adjacent channel. If the selected channel is an odd-

4, 6…), linking will occur with the previous odd channel.

source that will trigger the sidechain input and open the gate.

phantom power off for all channels where it is not required.
