Assignable Channel Encoders
Each channel strip has one touch-sensitive, continuously rotating encoder for adjusting parameters as assigned by the Channel En-
coder Assignment switches (see
Channel Encoder Assignment Switches). Each encoder can also be pressed, which is typically
used to access sub-menus. Each encoder also has corresponding
Sel and In switches.
• A Channel Encoder
Sel switch assigns a secondary function of the displayed parameter to the corresponding Channel En-
coder. For example, engaging the
Sel switch for an encoder controlling EQ frequency assigns Q (bandwidth) to that encoder.
• A Channel Encoder
In switch toggles two-state parameters, such as turning an individual EQ Band on/off.
Channel Encoder Modes
The Channel Encoders operate in either Normal Mode or Channel Mode. The channel displays shows the current channel mode.
Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, each Channel Encoder controls the same parameter for every track on the channel strips. A line appears under the
attentioned track’s name in the display.
Channel Mode
In Channel Mode, the 8 Channel Encoders control up to 8 different parameters for the attentioned track. In Channel Mode param-
eter names and value are highlight in each channel display. For the attentioned track, track name as well as parameter and value are
highlighted.
Channel Mode is useful for editing EQs and plug-ins that have many parameters.
