OVERVIEW
➸ NOTE : Channels which are routed to a sub-group need to be taken out of the stereo L/R bus to avoid them
appearing twice - once through the direct connection of the channel to the stereo L/R bus and secondly through
its connection to the stereo L/R bus via the subgroup.

Directly above the channel faders is a row of continuous rotary encoders (the Q-STRIP) with a ‘collar’ of LEDs
around each of them that serve a variety of purposes. On power up, their default function is to act as PAN controls
with one pan control for each of the channels. However, they may be used to set FX/AUX send levels. This function-
ality is selected using the Q-STRIP FUNCTION keys:
PAN Sets the rotary encoders to act as pan controls for each of the channels.
FX/AUX 1-4 Sets the rotary encoders to act as send levels for the internal effects channels or to the AUXILIARY
bus.
➸ NOTE : If the sends are configured as stereo sends, FX1/AUX1 sets the send level and FX2/AUX2 sets the pan
position. The same is true for FX/AUX3/4 - if set to stereo, FX3/AUX3 sets the level and FX4/AUX4 sets panning.
