CONTROL MODES
Access Mode
With access mode selected, all control cells on the surface are populated with EQ and dynamics controls for the
currently accessed path. Access mode is activated on the console by pressing the ACCESS control modes button on
the surface.
Summa 24+8 and 36+8 display the full complement of EQ and dynamics controls when in access mode. Summa 12
+ 8 shows either the EQ or dynamics controls and the two control cells on the far left of the surface provide the option
to switch between the two. The touch display can also be put into access mode by selecting ACCESS from the Show
menu. As for the surface controls, when in access mode on the touch display, all touch controls correspond to the
accessed fader/path.

which place path-specific controls in the control cells directly above each fader, replicating analogue channel strips.
For example, selecting pan mode places pan controls for each path above each fader, as shown here:
