Fader  Strips

  -  These  provide  access  to  the  input  and  master  channel  levels  and 

processing.  The  faders  are  motorised  and  move  to  present  the  sends  to  a  mix  or  FX 

when a 

Mix

 key is selected. Pressing GEQ Fader Flip presents the graphic EQ across 

the faders.

Mix

Sel key.
