8.2.1 Channel Name

The Main and Swap channels are designated by a number (C# by default) or by a four-
character name assigned in the Channel Assign Panel (see page 92). The Main channel
is below the Swap channel; the active channel’s display is brighter. Press the Swap key to
switch between the Swap and Main channels. The Strip controls only the active channel.

8.2.2 Function Keys

The Routing, Input, Dynamics, EQ/Filters, Aux Sends, and Pan functions can be

function has more than eight parameters, the WX keys (above * key) page backward
and forward to display the additional settings. Four function in/out switches are located
to the left of the function selection switches.

8.2.3 Rotary Knobs

Each Strip has eight illuminated, rotary knobs each with a four-character display and
two switches. The knob is a continuous controller; as the knob turns, the LEDs on the
outer ring light to show the current relative level. The display shows the knob’s current
function except while adjusting the knob, when it shows the parameter’s value.
The lower switch to the left of the knob toggles the knob’s function in/out.
