K-M IX H ARDWARE634.2.14.7 – S URROUND P ARAMETERS A RE G LOBAL , N OT P ER P RESETOne important thing to note when using Surround Panning Mode is that all of its parameters are“global” parameters. This means they are not stored on a per-preset basis; they will instead remain thesame when changing K-Mix presets.This is to prevent potentially “odd” behavior when changing presets. If surround parameters werestored with each preset, that could result in the headphone output suddenly becoming a subwooferfeed, different rotaries controlling different input channels, and surround speaker layouts unexpectedlychanging. These are likely to be undesirable behaviors, so surround parameters are global.4.2.14.8 – F UNCTIONAL D IFFERENCES B ETWEEN S TEREO & S URROUNDAs detailed in this section, Pan (Surround), and the previous section, Pan (Stereo), there are somesignificant differences between Stereo Panning Mode and Surround Panning Mode. It is important toknow these if you will be occasionally switching between the two modes.Here is a brief summary of the functional differences between stereo panning and surround panningwith K-Mix:• All output bus levels are linked in surround; they can be set individually in stereo.• Stereo parameters are saved on a per preset basis; surround parameters are global.• Rotaries function as traditional knobs in stereo; in surround their entire surface area can be used.• Channel select buttons do nothing when panning in surround; they are used to select the channelcurrently being edited when in stereo.• The headphone output can be used for bass management in surround.• Aux modes and Reverb mode are disabled when surround is enabled.• All effects on the main output bus (compressor, gate, EQ) are bypassed when surround is enabled.4.2.15 – EQThe [EQ] button is used to enter K-Mix’s “EQ Mode” — here you can adjust the equalizersettings for each of the eight input channels and the main output bus.4.2.15.1 – W HAT D O T HE C ONTROLS D O ?F ADER B EHAVIORIn EQ Mode, the K-Mix faders continue to function as though they are in Mains Mode. Faders 1–8control the level of input channels 1–8 and the master fader controls the level of the main output bus(outputs 1 & 2).R OTARY B EHAVIORThe four rotaries are used to adjust equalization settings for the currently selected channel (orchannels). By default the rotaries are set to adjust the following parameters:• Rotary 1 = Low Boost/Cut |
