eter values displayed on the LCD. Rotate the Ro-

Insert Control Mode
Insert Control mode allows you to assign Inserts

play both the insert page and the current chan-

Insert 1, Rotary Pot 4 for Insert 2, Rotary Pot for
Insert 3, and Rotary Pot 8 for Insert 4).

signments for that insert.
This operation is available only if the Com-
