Slot Input Router

Here you can specify the routing and gain from the slot input to each input channel.

• To specify the routing to the input channel, press the second-from-right function button (SELECT 1/SELECT 2) to select

the input channel.

■

Input On/Off

Here you can turn the input to the 4x4 Matrix Mixer on/off for each input channel.
