Chapter 6: Channels and Strips 63
Map Channels, Control Groups, and Busses to Strips
Each Strip can control a Main and Swap channel. One or both of the channels can be a Control Group or Bus instead of a normal
channel. Channels can be assigned individually using the Strip controls or to multiple Strips using the Channel Assign Panel (page
64) or Bus Assign Panel (page 65).
Individual Assignment: Strip Controls
The Chan Select key can be used to assign individual channels to a Strip on the console surface:
1 Press the Main or Swap key to assign the desired channel.
2 Press and hold down the Wave key and press the Chan Select key.
The channel list appears on the meter bridge screen at the top of the Strip. Control Groups that have been created also appear
in the list. The Accept and Abort keys flash (see figure below).
3 Use the fader to scroll through the list of channels and Control Groups on the screen; the selected entry is highlighted.
4 Press the Accept key to assign the selected channel, or the Abort key to cancel.
To assign the Swap channel, press the Swap key and begin with step 2.
