5 – Channel modules : Aux and buss setup
Source selection POD keys 3 and 4 select the
aux send source screens. Select between pre-fader
(PRE) or post-fader (POST). For aux 1 and 2 only, the
RETURN input can also be selected as the send source
(for studio cue monitoring).
Linked channels are controlled together by the oddnumbered
(left) POD of the pair.
The BATCH SETUP section at the bottom right of the
screen allows the setting of the same source for
groups of eight channels, or for all (ALL) channels
together. A popup appears to confirm this setting
(ENTER to confirm, cursor keys to cancel).
Aux send pan/balance screens (linked)
When two aux sends are linked (for stereo cue or to
feed the stereo inputs of an effects processor, for
example), these screens change slightly.

In addition to the screen controlling the linked send
levels to the linked aux sends and the screen controlling
the sources to the linked aux sends, there is a
third screen, which provides the ability to view and

adjust the pan (and balance for linked channels) settings
to the linked aux sends (accessed with the POD
2 key).
This works in the same way as the previous screens,
with the addition of a batch pan setting facility.
There is also a way of copying the current channel
pan settings to the aux send pair pan settings (and the
other way round). This can be used for setting up
monitor cue mixes based on the stereo mix, or simply
for echoing the current position in the mix when
feeding stereo effect processors.
Use the POD 2 encoder to select whether to copy the
pan/balance settings from the channels to the aux
sends (CH→AUX) or from the aux sends to the channels
(AUX→CH). Use the on-screen SET button to actually
perform the parameter copy. A popup appears to
confirm this setting (ENTER to confirm, cursor keys
to cancel).
Using the encoders You can use the first eight
encoders in one of the aux modes (see “Encoders” on
page 22) to set the aux send levels and/or pans
(depending on the setting) for the selected channel
module.
Note that if the preference for the encoders to follow
the current screen is set (see “Encoder Mode Follows
Current Screen” on page 44) the encoders will automatically
change to the aux send and pan/balance
mode when the aux screens are selected.
Using the “fat channel” Use the “fat channel”
encoders to set the levels of the 12 aux sends, and the
SCREEN key to jump quickly to the aux send screen
for the selected channel.
