How to navigate
This section shows you how to navigate the channels, mixes and groups, and how to
select the ones you want. Refer to Figure 9 “Location of the navigational controls on
the control surface” on page 52 throughout this section.
In many cases there are a number of navigational methods you can choose from to
carry out a particular task. Some may be more suitable than others in a given situation
and there may even be a combination of methods you an use. Experience should guide
you to the most appropriate and the ones you most prefer.
Switching between inputs and outputs
You can easily change from working with inputs to working with outputs, and vice
versa. To switch channel type, simply select any channel of the type you want to switch
to. The channel select (upper) section shows which type of channel is currently in
operation (and the channel number selected).
>> To change channel type
Do one of the following:
• Press a quick access button in a fast strip of the required channel type.
• To change to inputs from outputs, press an LCD select button in any input fast strip.
Navigating channels and mix buses to the control surface
There are a number of ways in which you can bring channels and mix buses to the
control surface, particularly using the scroll buttons.
>> To navigate a channel to the control surface
With the channel type you require currently in operation, do one of the following:
• Scroll to the channel using the scroll by 1 buttons in the channel select (upper)
section. This will also select the channel.
• If you are currently operating the inputs, scroll the bank containing the input
channel you require to the control surface using the scroll by 4 buttons in the input
select section.
• If you are currently operating the outputs, navigate the bank containing the output
channel you require to the control surface by pressing its output select button (in
either the top or bottom output fast strip sections).
>> To navigate an input channel to a fast strip on the control surface
If you have navigated the currently selected input channel away from the control
surface, you can bring it back by pressing ALIGN.
>> To navigate a mix bus to the control surface
Do one of the following:
• Scroll to the mix bus using the scroll by 1 buttons in the mix section. This will also
select the mix bus.
• Scroll the bank containing the mix bus you require (aux or matrix) to the control
surface using the scroll by 8 buttons in the sends section.
