Selecting Channels
To select Input and Output Channels for editing with the SELECTED CHANNEL controls,
you use the LAYER buttons to select a Layer, and the [SEL] buttons to select a channel on
that Layer.
1Select a Layer, as explained on page 33.
2Use the [SEL] buttons to select an Input or Output Channel.
The [SEL] button indicator for the currently selected channel lights up. In addi-
tion, the Channel’s ID and Short name appear in the upper right corner of the dis-
play (see page 30).
The exact channel selected by each [SEL] button depends on the currently selected Layer.
For example, when Layer 1–24 is selected, [SEL] button #1 selects Input Channel #1. When
Layer 25–48 is selected, it selects Input Channel #25. And when the Master Layer is selected,
it selects Input Channel #49, as shown in the following table.
For paired Input or Output channels, the channel whose [SEL] button you press is selected,
and its indicator lights up. The [SEL] button indicator of the other channel flashes.
Vertical and horizontal Input and Output channel partners can also be selected by using the
SELECTED CHANNEL PAN/SURROUND [L] and [R] buttons, which can also be used to
select left and right channels when the Stereo Out is selected.
If the currently displayed page contains a relevant parameter, when a channel’s [SEL] but-
ton is pressed, the cursor moves to that parameter automatically. If the currently displayed
page contains no such parameter, the page that does contain such a parameter is selected
automatically. For example, if a Delay page for the Output Channels is selected when an
Input Channel [SEL] button is pressed, the Delay page showing the relevant Input Channel
Delay parameter is selected automatically.

Stereo Out [SEL] Button

The Stereo Out [SEL] button is used exclusively to select the Stereo Out for editing with the
SELECTED CHANNEL controls. Its indicator lights up when the Stereo Out is selected.
Each time it’s pressed, the selection toggles between the Stereo Out’s left and right channels.
The SELECTED CHANNEL PAN/SURROUND [L] and [R] buttons can also be used to
select the left and right channels.
If the currently displayed page contains a Stereo Out parameter, that parameter is selected
automatically when the Stereo Out [SEL] button is pressed. If the currently selected page
contain no such parameter, the page that does contain such a parameter is selected auto-
matically. For example, if a Delay page for the Input Channels is currently selected when the
Stereo Out [SEL] button is pressed, the Delay page showing the Stereo Out Delay parameter
is selected automatically.

Auto Channel Select & Touch Sense Select

While the Auto Channel Select preference is on (see page 197), channels can be selected by
moving the corresponding fader or Encoder, or by turning on the corresponding [AUTO],
[SOLO], or [ON] button. While the Touch Sense Select preference is on (see page 199),
channels can be selected simply by touching the fader knobs.
