4.5 Knobs
Each fader strip has one touch-sensitive, continuously rotating knob that adjusts
parameters such as pan and aux send levels. The knob has a built-in switch
allowing it to be pressed from the top. This is called the Knob Top key and is
typically used to access sub-menus but also to turn parameters on/off.

Each knob has the following controls:

•The SEL key changes the knob function or toggles a secondary function’s
value, such as an aux send pre/post fader.
