control over critical functions. It does not allow for fast access to hamburgers.
Tapping the quick access panel illuminates the button green and scooches the master fader and channel
faders to the left, making way for another strip of functions.
The following is a list of what resides in the quick access panel. We will go through each one in detail, but
here now is a super-short overview of each:
(1) Clear Solo [below] — Easily clear all solos.
(2) Eects Controls [page 120] — Globally mute the reverb and/or delay. Set tap delay.
(3) Mute Group Control [pages 121-125] — Set channel assignment and on/o control per
mute group master.
(4) View Group Control [pages 126-128] — Set channel assignment and view group select.
Tap the quick access panel button or anywhere else on the mixer view or channel view to exit out of the
quick access panel.
