• ASGN Button
This button is used in conjunction with other buttons to adjust input and output assignments.
There’s a lot of info here, so please pay attention!
The button’s LED illuminates solid red when pressed and held, but another button must be pressed
in order to enter what’s called “Assignment Mode”.
When in assignment mode:
(1) the ASGN button’s LED will flash red.
(2) the selected channel display will present the selected function (similar to what may be seen
in the images to the left of each description).
Even while in assignment mode, you are still able to mix the show as usual and navigate
through the other banks of channels, too, as every control (other than SEL) doesn’t
change its function. You’ll use this to find the channels you wish to assign and unassign.
Just be careful to leave assignment mode when finished to prevent inadvertantly
assigning / unassigning channels while still in assignment mode.
Pressing the flashing ASGN button again ends assignment mode.
• ASGN + Main LR –
Pressing and holding the ASGN button while pressing the [Mix Selector]
Main L/R button puts the console into assignment mode for the Main L/R. The SEL button
LEDs of channels that are already assigned to the Main L/R will flash, indicating that they are
assigned to the Main L/R. From here you’re able to assign and unassign channels to the Main
L/R simply by pressing the channels’ SEL button.
• ASGN + Subgroup –
Pressing and holding the ASGN button while pressing one of the
[Mix Selector] subgroup buttons – whether the subgroup is linked or unlinked – puts the
console into assignment mode for that subgroup. The SEL button LEDs of channels that are
already assigned to the chosen subgroup will flash, indicating that they are assigned to that
subgroup. From here you’re able to assign and unassign channels to the selected subgroup
simply by pressing the channels’ SEL button.
• ASGN + VCA –
Pressing and holding the ASGN button while pressing one of the [Mix
Selector] VCA buttons puts the console into assignment mode for that VCA. The SEL button
LEDs of channels that are already assigned to the chosen VCA will flash, indicating that they
are assigned to that VCA. From here you’re able to assign and unassign channels to the selected
VCA simply by pressing the channels’ SEL button.
