This will open the PATCH SELECT window.
01V96i Quick Start Guide FADER MODE There are nine FADER MODE keys to the left of the LCD. [HOME] is the normal mode for the faders. Pressing the [HOME] key will show various METER pages on the LCD, so input, output, and Effect channels can be metered. The AUX 1-8 keys select one of the Aux Send levels to be edited by the faders, instead of the normal channel level. You can also see the Aux Send levels on the LCD, represented either by rotary pots or by bar-graphs.
01V96i Quick Start Guide Using the SELECTED CHANNEL controls When a channel is selected, some of its settings can be seen and controlled in the SELECTED CHANNEL area. The currently selected channel’s name and number is always shown in the top-left corner of the LCD screen. ✦ SELECTED CHANNEL area ✦ EQUALIZER When one of the EQ controls is moved, the LCD will show the EQ edit screen. There are 4 parametric bands. Select which band to control with the HIGH, HIGH-MID, LOW-MID and LOW switches.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ PAN The PAN settings of the selected input channel can be edited here (output channels do not have Pan). 01V96i can also perform surround panning. To select a SURROUND MODE, press the [PAN/ROUTING] Display Access Key so the SURR MODE page is shown on the LCD. Then choose the SURROUND MODE: 3-1 or 5.1 or 6.1. This will then convert some of the buses (1-8) into Surround Buses, and more displays will be added to the PAN menu for editing the Surround Panning parameters.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ DYNAMICS Each input channel has both a GATE and a COMP. The output channels only have a COMP. When the [DYNAMICS] Display Access key is pressed, the LCD shows the relevant GATE or COMP screen. Gain Reduction meters and Key-In source can also be viewed here. Usefully, the COMP can be positioned pre-eq, pre-fader (post-eq) or post-fader.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ ROUTING In the [PAN/ROUTING] menu, the Selected Channel can be routed to any of the 8 Buses, to the Stereo Bus and to a Direct Output. Move the cursor to the required bus number ([1-8], [S] for Stereo and [D] for Direct output) and press [ENTER] to route the channel. The PAN indicators below each channel number in the LCD ensure that the PAN of the channels will follow through to the Buses.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ Ø / INSERT / DELAY Press this DISPLAY ACCESS key to see Phase, Insert and delay information on the LCD. Phase reverse is only available for input channels. Insert and Delay are available for all channels except for the Stereo Inputs. Inserts need to be patched, choosing which rear-panel connection (or internal Effect) to use for INSERT OUT and INSERT IN. The INSERT POSITION can also be changed here. Press the [Ø/INSERT/DELAY] key again to see Delay settings for each channel.
01V96i Quick Start Guide CHANNEL PAIR If some Stereo input sources are used, such as a Synthesizer or CD player, it could be useful to pair the relevant input channels together. There are two modes for pairing channels, as selected in the [PAIR/GROUP] menu. HORIZONTAL VERTICAL Horizontal mode allows odd numbered channels to be paired with their adjacent even numbered channel. Vertical mode allows channels on the top fader layer (1-16) to be paired with the equivalent channel on the layer below (17-32).
01V96i Quick Start Guide FADER GROUPS Fader Groups are useful for controlling many faders by just moving one fader. There are 8 Fader Groups available for input channels and 4 Fader Groups for output channels. Here is how to link faders together in a Group: 1. 2. 3. Access the [PAIR/GROUP] displays on the LCD. 1 2 Choose a Group (A to H for inputs, Q to T for outputs) using the Cursor keys (right of the console, by the data wheel).
01V96i Quick Start Guide MUTE GROUPS Mute Groups are useful for switching On/Off many channels by just pressing one switch. There are 8 Mute Groups available for input channels and 4 Mute Groups for output channels. To assign channels to a Mute Group, follow the same 3 steps as made for a Fader Group, but while viewing the MUTE GROUP screens (Groups I to P are for Inputs, Groups U to X are for Outputs).
01V96i Quick Start Guide EFFECTS There are 4 Multi-Effect Units inside 01V96i. They can be viewed on the LCD by pressing the [EFFECT] Display Access key, and then pressing one of the buttons [F1]-[F4] below the LCD. ✦ EDITING AN EFFECT The Effect parameters can be edited using the data wheel and cursor keys to the right of the console. To change the type of effect (from Reverb to Rev-X for example), follow the LIBRARY link shown on the left side of the LCD to see the FX LIBRARY.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ USING AN EFFECT Before an effect can be used properly, it needs to be patched. The default patch (factory setting) has Aux 1-4 patched to the inputs of FX1-4 respectively. The stereo outputs of FX1-4 are patched to stereo input channels 1-4 respectively. This is convenient, but can be changed if necessary. For example, an effect could be inserted in just one channel using the INSERT OUT and IN patch. To change the FX patching, go to the EFFECT page in the [PATCH] display menu.
01V96i Quick Start Guide SCENE MEMORY There are 99 SCENE MEMORIES available in 01V96i. Each Scene stores all the mixing parameters, including all input channel, output channel and Effects parameter data. The SCENE MEMORY list can be seen by pressing the [SCENE] Display Access key. If a SCENE is PROTECTED, it cannot be overwritten when [STORE] is pressed. This avoids erasing something by mistake. When a SCENE is stored, a name can be entered.
01V96i Quick Start Guide ✦ SCENE COPY / PASTE If some settings need to be copied from one Scene to some others, the PATSE SRC and PASTE DST LCD screens can be used. In the PASTE SRC screen, choose which parameters of which channels should be copied. In the PASTE DST screen, choose which Scene Memories should be updated.
