This feature allows the effect of a noise gate sourced from one channel to be applied to another, destination channel, even without being applied to the original source channel. SAVING A DYNAMICS PROCESSOR TO THE DYN 1 OR 2 PRESETS LIBRARIES Once you have followed the above procedure for loading and editing a Compressor you may well want to store the settings for recall at a later stage. when a Dynamics Processor is saved it will automatically be saved to both libraries.

Bank->Select: ON/OFF (SELECT follows Fader Bank selection) 328 By default this setting is set to OFF, so that selecting a different Fader Bank does not affect which channel is selected. By setting this to ON, the console will have a memory of which SELECT switch is active for MIC/LINE and TAPE fader banks. Returning to the opposing fader bank will automatically select the channel last selected when you were last in that fader bank. Put the Fader Bank into MIC/LINE mode, and press SELECT for channel 16. The selected channel will follow bank selection so by selecting the MIC/LINE fader bank, channel 16 will be automatically selected and when selecting the TAPE fader bank, channel 17 will be selected. Device ID When requesting data dumps from a remote source with MIDI System Exclusive messages, the 328 device ID must be set correctly. By default this is set to ID 1 and for most purposes is best left at this value. If you use linked consoles, the device IDs should be set differently so that the remote device is able to send System Exclusive commands to each desk individually. Note that the Device ID is stored within a User Setup and is retained on power down.
