4.2.3 – BYPASS
The [BYPS] button is used to turn effects on and off. This can be done on a per channel basis, 
or an effect can be bypassed globally (all instances of an effect).
Bypassing only has an effect on the compressor, gate, EQ, and reverb functionality. Nothing 
else has the ability to be bypassed.
This button can also reset parameters to their original state and set faders to exactly 0dB.
4.2.3.1 – BYPASS EFFECTS ON INDIVIDUAL CHANNELS
To bypass an effect on an individual channel:
1.  Enter the mode for the effect you want to bypass. For example, enter EQ mode if you want to 
bypass the EQ on a specic channel.
2.  Press and hold the [BYPS] button.
3.  The channel select button LEDs will now display the current bypass state for each channel. Green = 
effect on (not bypassed), Red = effect off (bypassed).
4.  While [BYPS] is still held down, press a channel select button to toggle that channel’s bypass state.
5.  Release [BYPS] to exit Bypass Mode. All LEDs will return to their normal state (for the mode you are 
currently in).
Reverb is a global effect send, it is not per channel, so all channel select buttons 
are linked when bypassing in Reverb mode. They will either be all green (reverb 
enabled), or all red (reverb bypassed). Any channel select button may be used to 
toggle the bypass state of the reverb.
4.2.3.2 – BYPASS EFFECTS ON ALL CHANNELS SIMULTANEOUSLY
To bypass an effect on all channels at the same time:
1.  Press and hold the [BYPS] button. It does not matter what mode the mixer is currently in.
2.  The [COMP], [GATE], [EQ], and [VERB] buttons light up. If any channel has the effect enabled, the 
button will light up bright. If no track has the effect enabled, the button will be dim.
3.  While [BYPS] is still held down, press the [COMP], [GATE], [EQ], or [VERB] button to toggle the 
bypass state of all channels simultaneously.
If the channels have a mixture of bypassed and non-bypassed states for an effect, 
the rst press will bypass the effect on every channel.
