FADERS / FADER BANKS 

The different channels are selected using the FADER BANK keys located above the trans­

port keys.  The types of mixer channel types are as follows: 

INPUTS 

12 general purpose mixer channels which can be used to mix the 
DPS24's various input sources. The channels can also be used to add 
EQ and dynamics and also to send the channels to either the internal 
effects and/or the AUX bus. By default, input sources are ADCs 1-12. 

TRACKS 

24 mixer channels which are sourced from the internal disk recorder. 
The channels can also be used to add EQ and dynamics and also to 
send the channels to either the internal effects and/or the AUX bus. 

GROUP 

8 channels providing control of the 8 group bus master levels. Pan, EQ, 
dynamics and FX/AUX sends are not available on these channels. 

FX RETURN 

By default, these 4 stereo channels provide control the stereo returns of 
the internal effects with balance control and FX/Aux sends. However, 
these channels can be re-patched to mix any of the DPS24 input sources. 

FX SEND 

4 channels providing control of the 4 fx bus master send levels. 

AUX SEND 

4 channels providing control of the 4 aux bus master send levels. 

AUX IN 

A stereo auxiliary mixer channel allowing the AUX L/R inputs to be 
mixed to the main L/R bus with level and mute control only. This 
channel has a fixed source. 

MIDI CONTROLLER  16 channels each providing 2 MIDI controllers which can be assigned 

to any MIDI channel or controller. Controller #1 is contr olled by the 
channel fader and Controller #2 is controlled by the channel's PAN 
control. By default, these are configured to send MIDI Volume (CC#7) 
on Controller #1 and MIDI Pan (CC#10) on Contr oller #2.
