The
MULTI EDIT
function (Shift + Solo) can be used for editing parame-
ters simultaneosly on all four layers – regardless of whether they belong

Note that the Shift button can be let up, once Multi Edit is active.
a double press on Multi edit activates the “sticky” mode, allowing edits
to be performed without keeping the Multi edit button pressed down.
exit the “sticky” Multi edit mode either by pressing Multi edit (Shift +
Solo) again, or by pressing Shift/exit.
