MIXER EDIT 

 

Channel Edit modes: Easy and Advanced 

 

The internal digital mixer is a versatile processing system that in some 

cases may be too complex for immediate operation; therefore, the EDIT 

mode can be set in EASY or ADVANCED; to modify the EDIT mode, go to 

SETTINGS ( )from the Home Page, and press EASY/ADVANCED, a popup 

will appear, with confirmation required. 

 

The EASY EDIT mode is assuming the user is operating in MONO MIX OUT 

mode, without full processing control:

Touch Screen Gestures 

 

On some pages, gestures are enabled to allow a faster navigation. A 3-dot graphical 

element helps in understanding if a gesture is available. 

 

As an example, on the MIXER view, a right-to-left swipe is available for jumping to 

the Reverb page, as shown on the right. 

 

In this document, when a gesture is available, it will be detailed for each of the 

pages affected. 

 

 

Here is a summary of available gestures:
