process of assigning channels to
mute groups. This ensures that no
channels are accidentally muted
during the assignment process
during a live performance.
2. It o ers an additional interface
for muting/unmuting the groups
in addition to the dedicated mute
group buttons at the bottom of
the console.
• • UTILITY - The UTILITY screen is a
supplemental screen designed to work

seen by itself, it always exists in the
context of another screen, and typically
brings up copy, paste and library or
customisation functions.
(3) ROTARY CONTROLS - These six rotary controls
are used to adjust the various elements
located directly above them. Each of the six
controls can be pushed inward to activate a
button-press function. This function is useful
when controlling elements that have a dual
on/o status that is best controlled by a
button, as opposed to a variable state that is
best adjusted by a rotary control.
(4) UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT NAVIGATION
CONTROLS - The LEFT and RIGHT controls
allow for left-right navigation among the
di erent pages contained within a screen
set. A graphical tab display shows which
page you are currently on. On some screens
there are more parameters present than
can be adjusted by the six rotary controls
underneath. In these cases, use the UP
and DOWN buttons to navigate through
any additional layers contained on the
screen page. The LEFT and RIGHT buttons
are sometimes used to con rm or cancel
con rmation pop-ups.
Please refer to the User Manual for more information
on each of these topics.
