Improvements to MIXER Mode

Take Over Mode

When 'Take Over Mode' is active, when on the TrkMIX, PrgMIX, HD MIX,

SYNTH, and EFFECTS EDIT pages, moving a Q-LINK will only update when the

current value of the control is crossed.

For example, if a HD MIX Channel is set to a volume of 70, and the

corresponding Q-LINK is set to its minimum position, if 'Take Over Mode' is

active, the channel's volume wouldn’t change until the Q-LINK moves past 70,

allowing for a smooth volume adjustment. If 'Take Over Mode' is off, the

control will change to follow the Q-LINK immediately.

To activate 'Take Over Mode', do the following:

01. In MIXER Mode, press [F3] (SETUP)

This will open the SETUP Tab.

02. Select the 'Knob / Slider Take Over Mode' field and select 'YES'

Take Over Mode will now be enabled.

Tip: 'Take Over Mode' applies to the TrkMIX, PrgMIX, HD MIX, SYNTH pages, and EFFECTS EDIT page. Q-LINKs set in Q-

LINK mode always work as immediate access, regardless of Take Over Mode setting.

Track Mute Options Available in MIXER Mode

In addition to accessing Record / Play Track Mute Events and Instant Track

Mute options from MAIN Mode, these are also available on the SETUP Tab in

MIXER Mode.

Tip: for more information on Track Mute Options, see page 2 of this document.
