How to make the CL-16 feel
like an analog mixer
An analog mixer’s channel strip typically includes trim,
fader, solo, mute, pan and EQ. The CL-16 has a similar feel
with its dedicated faders, trims, solos (PFLs), and mutes.
By setting the CL-16 to an EQ mode e.g. LF EQ (Hold Bank
then Arm), the channel strip’s upper and middle knob give
access to EQ control and provide more of an analog channel
strip feel.
Outputs

on Faders modes, rotate upper knobs to adjust output
