Shortcuts
◆
APPLY TO ALL CSOLO on any
channel clears or enables Solo on all channels.
The SELECT Switch
The SELECT switches select channels for group-
ing, deletion and all other channel-related func-
tions that do not have dedicated controls on the
channel strip.
For example, you do not need to select a chan-
nel in order to solo or mute it. Just press its
SOLO or MUTE switch.
However, for any function that uses a set of con-
trols not found in the channel strip such as in-
put/output routing and other Assign functions,
or whenever you want to apply a certain func-
tion to multiple channels, the SELECT switch
in-
cludes or excludes channels from the operation.
The SELECT switches are additive, or latching,
enabling the quick selection of several channels
without the need for any key strokes.
To select a single channel:
■
Press the SELECT; the green LED illuminates
when active.
