Fader Banks
It’s important to remember that the SX-1’s faders

FADER BANKS
section on the SX-1’s slanted front
panel, and the cue mix bank is reached via the
CUE
key to the right of the virtual channel strip.

MAIN DISPLAY
key above the
LCD ACCESS
section (on the SX-1's slanted front
panel). The

LED should light.

knobs and keys to indicate their current function.

virtual controls. Some keys are single function while
others are of a pop-up menu style. Most of the soft
