Shortcut Assignment for Multiple Channels
To assign multiple, consecutive channels to the console surface:
1 Press the Main Panel key at the bottom of the Panel Viewer.
2 Press the Channels key in the Main Panel.
The Channel Assign Panel appears.
3 Press the Auto key so it illuminates.
4 Press the key beside the channel to designate as the starting channel.
5 Position your finger over the Chan Select key for the first Strip (left-most) you would like to assign on the console.
Because this technique requires a two-key sequence beginning with Chan Select and moving to the right to the Swap key, the
first Strip must be at the far left of those being assigned.
6 Begin by pressing the Chan Select key on the first Strip, but continue moving your finger to the right across to the Swap key of
the same Strip.
7 Continue sliding your finger to the right over the Chan Select and Swap keys of each Strip until you have pressed the Swap key
on the last Strip you want to assign.
You have just assigned the Main level on each Strip by pressing its Chan Select key. Pressing its Swap key enables that Strip to as-
sign its Swap level in step 8.
8 Move your finger back to the first Strip’s Chan Select key and repeat the same sequence of key presses.
You have mapped the next series of channels to the Swap level on the same Strips on which you set the Main levels.
For example, if the first sequence mapped channels 1–8 to the Main level on eight Strips, the second sequence would map channels
9–16 to the Swap level on the same eight Strips.

and B inputs.
