This may be useful whensetting up a studio monitor mix, for example, and thelevels and pans of the aux sends used for the monitormix should initially be set to the same as the chan-nels.1 Check either of the two checkboxes (PAN/BALand/or LEVEL) to select the settings to be copied.2 In either of the two boxes associated withthese checkboxes, the top row copies settingsfrom the aux to buss, and the second row cop-ies them from buss to aux.Naturally, it is not possible to select both in thesame box, though it is possible to select CH ->AUX in one box and AUX -> CH in the other.3 Select the source and the destination parame-ters as explained here.• For pan/balance copying, linked pairs of auxsends and busses are available, or an ALL selec-tion is also available. Note that individual auxand busses are not available.• The STEREO buss is available as a destination.• The aux sends are selectable individually or aslinked pairs as sources or destinations for levelcopying.• Channels are divided into blocks of eight: 1-8,9-16, 17-24, 25-32 33-40, 41-48, 49-56, 57-64 and ALL.Individual channels cannot be selected.
