Conventions used in this manual
In this manual, we use the following conventions:
o
This unit has two types of buttons that can be operated:
physical buttons on the top panel and buttons that appear
on the touchscreen. The buttons on the top panel are
identified as keys, for example, the “MUTE key”.
o
The sets of 8 knobs beneath the touchscreens are called “LCD
knobs” and are identified from left to right as LCD knob 1 –
LCD knob 8.
o
SDHC/SDXC memory cards are referred to as “SD cards”.
o
The following modules that handle stereo signals are called
“stereo modules”.
i
CH 1–40 modules when the stereo link setting is on
i
MIX 1–22 modules when the stereo link setting is on
i
ST IN 1–2 module
i
FX RTN 1–4 module
i
MAIN L/R Master module
o
The last snapshot that was stored or recalled is called the
“current snapshot”.
o
