6.4.1MC Mix display screen dim time

Drag the slider to set the amount of inactive time before the display screens of any MC Mix(es) in your system dims to half intensity.

6.4.2Footswitch

The footswitch punches in and out of recording. It is useful when recording and getting ready to play an instrument.

Two types of footswitches can be attached to an MC Control:

•Momentary – There are two momentary types: normally open, push to close; normally closed, push to open.

•Toggle – Latches when pushed on; push again for off.

We recommend using one of the momentary types. The toggle type works, but requires two presses. The MC Control automatically distinguishes between mo- mentary types by checking whether the switch is open or closed upon power up.
