Dynamics Library
Here is another handy feature of the 01X that puts the real-
world experience of professional engineers to work for 
you.  The Dynamics Library contains forty different 
dynamics processing presets for a variety of common 
recording applications, such as compressing drums, guitar 
and vocals.  It also includes some expansion presets for 
enhancing the dynamics of certain types of sound.
Select preset for your specific application or instrument 
and change the settings if needed.  Remember you can save 
your original settings as a User preset (see page 36).
■ Operation
q Press [SELECTED CHANNEL] to call up the Single 
Channel display.  
The button lights.
w Select the desired channel by pressing the correspond-
ing [SEL] button.
e Press the [DYNAMICS] button twice to call up the 
Dynamics Library.
r Select the desired preset with knob 1.
For a full list of the available Dynamics Library pre-
sets, see page 118.
t Press RECALL (knob 5) then YES (knob 8) to call up 
the selected preset.
For details on using Recall, as well as Store and Clear 
in the same menu, see page 100.
Use the preset as is on the channel or change the set-
tings as desired.
• Make sure to turn DYN (Dynamics) on (with knob 1), otherwise 
you won’t be able to hear any change in the sound.
Pairing channels
This convenient function lets you link two adjacent chan-
nels as a stereo pair—ideal for stereo sources, such as a 
synthesizer, rhythm machine or CD player.  This links the 
faders and most of the mix parameters for the channels, 
including EQ, Dynamics, Group assignments and Effects.  
(Parameters not affected by pairing include Input Patch, 
Pan and Phase.)
q Hold down the [SEL] button of one of the channels and 
simultaneously press the [SEL] button of the channel 
next to it.
Notice that this only works for ‘logical’ odd/even pairs.  
For example, channels 3 and 4 are a logical pair, but 4 
and 5 are not.  As a result, holding down the [SEL] but-
ton for channel 4 and pressing that of channel 5 has no 
effect.
Stereo sources
• When connecting stereo sources, keep this logical system in 
mind.  Always connect the left signal to an odd-numbered input 
(1, 3, 5, 7) and its right counterpart to the adjacent even-num-
bered input (2, 4, 6, 8).
w Select the control assignment for the pair by pressing 
the appropriate knob.
Notice that when you move one of the faders, the other 
moves with it.  Also, any mix settings you make for one 
channel are automatically made for the other channel 
as well. 
Don’t move both faders!
• Be careful to only move one fader in a channel pair.  Moving 
both at the same time may damage the motors.
To cancel the pair assignment:
• Simply repeat step 1 above, then at the “RELEASE PAIR?” 
prompt, press knob 8 (YES).
