The [FINE] button is used to turn fine-tuning on and off, allowing for extra precision when
adjusting parameters. This essentially “zooms in” on the current rotary and fader positions.

ADERS
To fine-tune a fader parameter, do the following:
1. Press and release the [FINE] button to toggle Fine-Tuning Mode on. The fader LEDs will instantly
move to the center of the fader; this represents the original “coarse” value.
2. Move the fader up from center to increase the parameter’s value with extra precision.
3. Move the fader down from center to decrease the parameter’s value with extra precision.
4. Press the [FINE] button to exit fine-tuning mode. The fader LEDs will go back to their normal
appearance.
5. If you need to go further than the range offered by fine-tuning mode, you can repeat steps 1–4
again to reset the center point to the new value.

OTARIES
To fine-tune a rotary parameter, do the following:
1. Press the [FINE] button to toggle fine-tuning mode on. The rotary LEDs will instantly move to the 12
o’clock position — this represents the original “coarse” value.
2. Move the rotary clockwise to increase the parameter’s value with extra precision.
3. Move the rotary counterclockwise to decrease the parameter’s value with extra precision.
4. Press the [FINE] button to exit fine-tuning mode. The rotary LEDs will go back to their normal
appearance.
It is important to note that when fine-tuning the rotaries they act as “endless encoders” — you can keep
moving them around and around in the same direction as much as you want. This is unlike their normal
behavior, which is restricted to movement between the 7 o’clock and 5 o’clock position, similar to a
traditional knob.
Depending on the mode your K-Mix is currently in, some faders may not be
controlling a mixer function. If this is the case, fine-tuning will not work for those
faders and their LEDs will be off.
