 CTL: Use this button to select the secondary functions for the dual-function display
buttons below. Also, holding the Control button while touching one of the knobs or
faders will reset any of the touch-sensitive controls to their default values. This is one of
three identical Control buttons on the channel control components set, and it works the
same as pressing the Control modifier key on a computer keyboard.

Left/Right, Front/Back, Down/Up, and Spread. Press the ALT display button to see the
alternate Rotate, Tilt, Divergence, and LFE controls. Hold the Control button and press

without a modifier to display four frequency bands, including High Frequencies (HF),

(LF). Press the ALT button for Gain control of each of the four bands. Use the Control
key for the secondary button function to display and modify the two channel filters for
High-pass, Low-pass, High-shelf or Low-shelf filtering. While in EQ/FILT In-Line display
mode, the Channel Control touch-sensitive knobs are used to sweep Frequencies
or Gain, and the Channel Control buttons toggle between Bell, Notch, High Pass
Filter (HPF), Low Pass Filter (LPF), High Shelf (Hi-Sh), and Low Shelf (Lo-Sh) filtering
curves. The functionality of EQ/ FILT works the same as using the Channel EQ window
