Chapter 5 Using the Digital Mixer

Chapter 5

Mix Assign Switch

When this is set to “On”, the source at each Input

channel is assigned directly to the MIX bus. Set this to

“On” when you simply want to mix an input without

actually recording it.

4. Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

Stereo Link

When recording or playing back a stereo source, traditional

mixers require you to control the left and right channels

separately, making it inconvenient to adjust their EQ, effects

and so on. With the VS-1680, you can link adjacent pairs of

mixer channels so that you can make adjustments to both

channels simultaneously. This feature is called “Stereo Link.”

When Stereo Link is on, adjacent odd- and even-numbered

channels are paired as shown below. The settings of each

odd-numbered channel will be the same as the settings of its

even-numbered partner. When the settings of one channel

are modified, the settings of the other also change.

fig.11-20

In the VS-1680’s Track Mixer, Channels 9/10, 11/12, 13/14

and 15/16 default as stereo channels. These channels are

useful for recording stereo sources such as pianos recorded

using two microphones, or drum overhead mics, for

example. These stereo channels can be unlinked, and can

function as totally independent mono tracks:

• They can be recorded independently.

• They can be routed to effects independently.

• They can be edited independently.

• Once these stereo channels are unlinked, the only thing

they share is one Fader, one SELECT button, and one

STATUS button.

Unlink Stereo Mixer Channels

1. Press Track 9/10 SELECT.

2. Move the cursor to LINK and use the TIME/VALUE dial

to change the setting to “Off.” The display shows Track

Mixer 9.

Now, you can control the two channels independently:

1. Hold SHIFT and press Track 9/10 SELECT once more.

The display shows Track Mixer 10.

2. Hold [SHIFT] and adjust the fader to make settings to

Track 10. Without holding [SHIFT], the channel fader

controls the level of Track 9.

3. Hold [SHIFT] and move the fader to control the level of

Track 10.

4. The [STATUS] button changes the status of Track 9.

5. Hold [SHIFT] and press the [STATUS] button to change

the status of Track 10.

The mixer channels for Tracks 11/12, 13/14 and 15/16 work

the same way when they are unlinked.

Link Adjacent Mixer Channels

It is possible to link adjacent channels on either the Input

Mixer or the Track Mixer. Use this when recording a stereo

input to a stereo track.

1. Press the SELECT button for the Input or Track channel

you want to have linked.

2. Press [F1 (Link)]. If “Link” does not appear above [F1],

press [PAGE] until you see “Link” above [F1], and then

press [F1 (Link)].

3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select “On.”

Link (Stereo Link)

This turns the Stereo Link function on and off.

4. Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

Adjust the Levels of Linked

Channels

When Stereo Link is on, the balance of both channels is

preserved, and their overall volume level is controlled with

the odd-numbered fader. Even-numbered faders do nothing

to stereo-linked channels. If you want to independently

adjust the fader levels of each channel, use the following

procedure.

1. Press the SELECT button for the input or track channel

that is linked.
