<AUTO>
This LED indicator lights solid red to
show Write automation ready for the Master Fader. It
blinks red when writing automation data for the Mas-
ter Fader.
Virtual Channel
The Virtual Channel is the horizontal row of 16
knobs (called “virtual pots”) above the Channel
Strips.
Virtual Pots
These pots are multi-function, infi-
nitely rotating controls. They serve as the channels’
pan pots, EQ controls, Aux sends, or pan pots for the
cue mix. They are surrounded by a ring of LEDs
which indicate their current setting. For example, a
pan pot that is hard left will have its far left LED illu-
minated, or an AUX send that is full open will have
all of its LEDs lit. The virtual pots’ functions are
determined by the
VIRTUAL CHANNEL/ PAN
and
CUE
key settings.
VIRTUAL CHANNEL/PAN
The
VIRTUAL
CHANNEL/ PAN
key determines whether the virtual
pots will function as EQ, Aux Sends, and a pan pot
for the selected Channel Strip (the channel whose
SEL
key is active), or as individual pan pots for each
of the 16 Channel Strips.
CUE
The
CUE
key enables each Channel Strip to
control its respective channel’s cue mix. When
CUE
is illuminated, the faders control the channels’ cue
send levels, and each channel’s associated virtual pot
controls the cue mix pannings.
