We will use the EQ display to show how the Pad works. Press the EQ button.
Operation
Normally the rotary knobs control the upper function in the box, which relates to the chosen type
of signal processing, i.e.
Path, EQ, Dyn, Aux or Plug-ins.
In the EQ case they control EQ frequencies and gains. These parameters are shown in Black
type, with a blue background. The lower set are shown grayed out.
The ALT key
Now hold down the ALT key.
While
ALT is held down, the lower parameters become active. These parameters relate to the
upper parameters e.g. the word IN below Band 1 Gain toggles Band 1 IN.
Many
ALT functions, like Band 1 IN, are switches. These are toggled by touching the rotary knob.
Others, like Q-factor, are controlled by
turning it.
In addition, the Pad Soft Keys are displayed. The upper ones are toggles like EQ IN, while the
lower ones are alternative pages of controls.
The Pad Soft Keys can be locked into place using the
Pad Lock button in the Mixer Megamode, or
by double-pressing
Path, EQ, Dyn, Aux or Plug-ins.
See How to Mixer Pad Details for more information
Using SEL
Press and release the SEL button.
While SEL is active, the
Path, EQ, Dyn, Aux and Plug-ins buttons are available. This means that
SEL is a kind of all-purpose mixing environment where any path can be selected, and any mix
parameters can be accessed.
Pad Details
Overview
The Pad is used to set all signal processing parameters.
In this guide we’ll look at all the functions of

Press
SEL, press Tracks, press a track number button, press exit.
