All and everything about channels is page 120

Presets:

I probably need to ask FollowOn mode

• record a preset: [1],[RECORD],[modify]
• Crossfade to preset 1: [1],[GOTO]
• Load preset 2 in B register: [2], [PRESET]+[B]

• Edit sequence 1: [1], [SEQ], [RECORD] will overwrite, [2],[RECORD] will save it as 2.
• edit sequence of presets: put preset 5 after 1: [1],[SEQ] then [insert]
• Load a Sequence to a Crossfade Playback [1], [SEQ] + [PLAYBACK]

• Modify times: [MODIFY]+[TIME] opens the time window

• Load, work, arrange sequences of presets in [MENU],<PLAY> and [MENU],<PLAYLIST>.
• Also, hold down 2 secs [A], [B], [C] or [D] to access it and edit, or hold [PLAYBACK] 2 seconds.

• Bring up the list of presets: [PRESET]
• Blind editing a preset: [1], [PRESET]

• If you are in preset 0, then preset 1 is loaded to B register, just hit [GO]; you can interrupt with [PAUSE], restart with [GO]

• [GO BACK] button goes back in 2 seconds.
• Blackout: [0]+[GOTO]

All everything about presets is on page 178 Sequences, so order of presets and their time/delays, are on 198

Masters

• Set Preset to a master: [1], [PRESET]+[master button 1]
• Modify a subgroup: [MODIFY]+[MasterButton] or Hold Down [MasterButton] 2 secs
• Set time to a master, say 2 secs: [2],[TIME]+[MasterButton]

various trouble:

• [FREEZE] switch upper right does just that, freeze the output.
• always make sure console is not in direct channel, set direct channel switch to off
• check Blackout led, must be Off.
• Crossfade manual faders must be completely down to allow next crossfade to take place by moving from down to up.

Paste = C/Alt & INSERT
Copy = C/Alt & DELETE
Cut = Make a COPY followed by a DELETE
