Channel name area
Press the channel name area to switch the selected channel/parameter on the screen. If you switch fader layers, the indication in this area will reflect the change in layer selection. In this way, you can access any channel on screen.
- Switching layers will not affect the selected channel/parameter on the screen. The 12-channel group displayed on the OVERVIEW screen will change. However, unless you press the channel name area, the selected channel/parameter on the screen will remain unchanged since your last press of the [SEL] key(s). If you want to switch the selected channel/parameter on screen at the same time you switch layers, you can configure this arrangement by selecting [FADER BANK] > [SEL] LINK in the Preferences settings.
When you use a screen encoder to control an EQ or dynamics parameter in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, the corresponding parameter and its value will appear in the upper part of the channel name area.
EQ
Dynamics
MIX/MATRIX SENDS
The following functions will be displayed.
* If ALTERNATE FUNCTION is assigned to a USER DEFINED key, pressing the channel screen encoder repeatedly will turn the function on and off.
For the SENDS function, rotate the screen encoder to set PRE or POST.
You can also turn the function on or off by pressing the screen encoder while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
