CHANNEL STRIP Section
Overview
This section is for operating the channel parameters. The
channel assignment automatically mirrors that of “Mixer.”
The [Multi function knobs] are touch-sensitive knobs for
adjusting various parameters.
The [Multi function knob] has four separate control
operations: touching (which brightens the corresponding
parameter indication), turning, pressing, and
simultaneously holding down and turning. The [Multi
function A and B buttons] are directly below each [Multi
function knob]. These buttons are for turning functions on
and off or for selecting the controllable parameters of the
[Multi function knobs]. Each channel has two sets of this
knob and accompanying buttons.
You can select the controllable parameters of the [Multi
function knob] with the buttons in the “SECTION
CONTROL Section” (page 14). Information on the
controllable parameters of the [Multi function knob] is
displayed in the Label Pane at the bottom of “Mixer.”
The following chart indicates the relation between the
“Label Pane” and the controllable parameters of the [Multi
function knob].

Description of the Device
Alternatively, if the [e] buttons for two different channels
are pressed at the same time, it will be possible to edit
both of those channels simultaneously.
If you again press the [e] button for a channel being
edited, the “Mixer” will reappear. It should be noted that,
even when Channel Setting mode is active, the specific
parameters controlled by the individual [Multi function
knobs] can be changed in the SECTION CONTROL
section.
The [Touch slider bar] is a touch controller for scrolling
through the channels. When you slide your finger along
the bar, the channels scroll across corresponding to the
distance your finger travels.
In such a case, 16 of the [Multi function knobs] can be
used with each. Of the two channels, the one on the left
can be controlled by the left bank of 16 knobs and viceversa.
