Autocontrols
The front panel buttons, M1–M7 have programmable as well as fixed
functions. Each can operate a macro in your show, as explained under
Macro control, page 7. They may also be used in combinations to give you
access to software displays and to make settings.

non-programmable combinations, they are called autocontrols. Execute an
autocontrol using the following 4-step procedure.
1. Press M7 and hold.
2. Press the additional button or buttons and hold.
3. Release M7.
