On a traditional mixing board, you usually have to use two faders to control a left and right stereo signal. If you want to make adjustments to the signal (such as EQ or effects changes), you have to change the settings on both channels. With channel link, you can make changes to both channels simultaneously . Channel Link pairs up adjacent, odd- and even-numbered channels, as shown in Figure 11.2. The settings of the odd-numbered channels will be the same as the settings of the adjacent, even-numbered channels. Figure 11.2. These are the adjacent channels that can be linked when Channel Link is enabled. In the VS-1680, channels 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16 default as stereo linked channels. On the VS-1880, channels 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16, and 17/18 default as stereo linked channels
Unlinking the Defaulted Linked ChannelsThe defaulted linked channels can be unlinked at any time.
When the defaulted linked channels are unlinked, you will have to use the SHIFT button to get to the channel edit screen for the adjacent, even-numbered channels. Adjusting the Volume Levels of Linked ChannelsWith Channel Link on, the overall volume balance of each channel is preserved. The odd-numbered fader now controls the overall volume for both channels. The even-numbered fader doesn't do anything. Using the following steps, you can change the volume balance of the two faders at any time, as shown in Figure 11.3. Figure 11.3. The individual level for each channel and the total level for both channels combined can be changed on this screen
Adjusting the Panning of Linked ChannelsWith Channel Link on, you can adjust the linked channel's overall stereo image while preserving their pan position in relation to each other, as shown in Figure 11.4. Use the following steps to adjust the pan position for the linked channels. Figure 11.4. You can set individual pan settings for the even- and odd-numbered tracks, as well as the total balance of the two
