page 18)
If several bands are performing on the same stage, or
if a single performer’s mix or audio sources vary greatly
from song to song, you can save a complete mix setup
for each band or each song as a Scene, and easily
switch between Scenes.
You can also save individual channel setups by
overwriting existing Presets or by saving them as new
Presets in the Library screen.
After fine-tuning the sound of each channel to suit each
instrument or mic, you can save them as Presets and
recreate that configuration anytime, easily.

the USER DEFINED KEYS.
