tOTEM™ (THE ONE TOUCH EASY MIX) KEYS
These keys place the console into ‘MIX’ mode allowing quick & easy mixing from Channels
to Buses, Channels to FX or Buses to Matrix. Pressing any key triggers a sequence of events
that re-configure the control surface and console monitoring system to the optimum layout
for the desired/required function.
NOTE: If selecting a tOTEM key whist there are no contributing channels or buses
on the active layer the surface will appear 'blank' — this is correct.
