alesce operation, and the Control Group remains intact.

The Coal key begins flashing.
2 Press the key for the Control Group you want to coalesce.
Multi Format Masters
A Multi Format Master supports building stereo, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 channels from mono channels. A Multi Format Master
channel can be assigned to a Strip just like a normal channel. There can be up to 48 Multi Format Master channels.
Multi Format Masters are most commonly used to implement stereo channels, which have the following additional controls:
• Balance
• LTM (Left to Mono)
• RTM (Right to Mono)
• Left/Right Swap
A both-to-mono function is available by pressing both the RTM and LTM keys simultaneously (see “Stereo Controls” on page 80).
To set up a Multi Format Master channel in PatchNet:
1 In PatchNet, click the Masters tab at the bottom of the window.
