9. Channel Faders
– In COMPUTER Control
mode, the channel faders send continuous controller
information to banks of eight channels in the host
application’s software mixer. The current bank is
selected by the
BANK
keys.
In MON MIX mode, the channel faders control the
monitor level of the audio inputs, as selected by the
BANK keys:
Bank 1
= analog inputs
Bank 2
= ADAT inputs
Bank 3
= S/PDIF inputs (channels 1 and 2 only. Chan-
nels 3-8 are inactive.)
NOTE: The faders do not affect the input level to the
host computer.
In MIDI control mode, the channel faders send out
continuous MIDI controller commands.
10. FLIP key
–
In COMPUTER
Control mode, this
key will switch the control parameters of the Channel
Faders and their associated Channel Rotary Encoders.
(Example: if the Rotary Encoder is set to Aux Send
function, pressing the
FLIP
key will cause the encoder
to control the channel level, while the channel fader
will control the Aux Send function.)
In MON MIX mode, this key has no function.
In MIDI CTL mode, this key sends out specific MIDI
controller commands.
11. PAN key
–
In COMPUTER
control mode,
when the PAN key is pressed, the Channel Rotary
Encoders will control the Panning function for the cur-
rently selected bank of eight channels in the host appli-
cation.
In MON MIX mode this key has no function, but
remains lit since the channel encoders only function as
PANs.
In MIDI CTL mode, this key sends out specific MIDI
control commands.
12. AUX keys 1-8
