EHAVIOR
In Compressor Mode, the K-Mix faders continue to function as though they are in Mains Mode .
Faders 1–8 control the level of input channels 1–8 and the master fader controls the level of the main
output bus (outputs 1 & 2).

EHAVIOR
When in Compressor Mode, the four rotaries are used to adjust compressor settings for the currently
selected channel (or channels).
• Rotary 1 = Threshold
• Rotary 2 = Compression Ratio
• Rotary 3 = Release Time
• Rotary 4 = Makeup Gain
It is also possible to hold down the [SHIFT] button to access more compressor parameters. When
holding down [SHIFT] the rotaries will adjust the following parameters:
• Rotary 1 = off
• Rotary 2 = off
• Rotary 3 = Attack Time
• Rotary 4 = off
Rotaries act like traditional knobs; the minimum value is at 7 o’clock and the maximum value is at
5 o’clock. Move the rotary clockwise to increase the current parameter’s value; move the rotary
counterclockwise to decrease.

EHAVIOR
The channel select buttons are used to select the compressor that is currently being edited by the
rotary controls.
• Each input channel and the main output bus has its own compressor, so any of the channel
select buttons may be used.
The LED color of each channel select button is used to display the currently selected compressor (or
compressors).
• Green = currently selected
• Red = not selected
When selected, the rotaries will update to display the selected channel’s compressor settings.
