Front Panel Operation

The MSX1616 series has three operational modes: Matrix, Preview, and Express.

In Preview mode, you can view input/output patches you have created.

In Express mode, you can recall previously saved presets with the press of one button. Non-technical users will find Express mode simple and convenient to use.
