Channel Pairing

Immediately to the left of the 'PATCH' button is the 'PAIR/GROUP' button. Pressing this button brings up the controls for pairing two mono channels to be one stereo channel.

The 01v96i supports two channel pairing modes. Horizontal and Vertical pairing mode.


Horizontal Mode'

Horizontal Mode lets you pair odd then even channels. For example, Channels 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. Please note that even then odd channel pairings are not valid i.e. you cannot pair channels 2&3, 4&5 etc.

Horizontal mode is used by default and is the more typical of the two modes.


Vertical Mode

Vertical Mode lets you pair channels with their counterparts on the other fader layer, for example, channel 1&17, 2&18. I cannot for the life of me think why anyone would want to pair channels this way.


Pairing Channels

When channels are paired, they share the same fader level, the same ON, EQ, Gate, Comp, Aux settings. Pan and Routing parameters remain separate (though Pans can be linked separately). To pair/unpair channels, without using the LCD screen, first hold down the 'SEL' button for the Left channel, then also hold down the 'SEL' button for the Right channel (or vice versa) for half a second. This only works in Horizontal Pair Mode.

Patches can also be made using the LCD screen, by navigating to the 'STEREO' or 'MONO X2' buttons below each pairable channel pair. Please note. Paired channels are depicted by 'STEREO' and a heart, unpaired channels are depicted by 'MONO X2' and a broken heart. Please note that the board will double check that would want to make/break pairs this way.

Don't go breaking any hearts you coward.
