3-1-2. Selecting the bus using the SHIFT function

The SHIFT function enables two materials to be allocated — the front material and the rear material — to one button, and the materials to be selected using the [SHIFT] button.

A total of 32 materials — front materials (1 to 16) and rear materials (17 to 32) — can be allocated to the three groups of 16 crosspoint buttons whether these buttons are the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons.

There are actually two SHIFT functions: “All SHIFT” for switching all the front materials to the rear materials or vice versa, and “Single SHIFT” for switching the front material of one crosspoint button with its rear material or vice versa.

“All SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to one of the USER buttons.

“Single SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to the No.16 or No.1 crosspoint button of the crosspoint button group concerned by a menu operation.
