The channel strips on the displays represent the Sound slots of the focused Group. At the top
of the displays you see two rows:
▪ The first row contains the headers of your Groups. The header of the focused Group is high-
lighted.
▪ The second row contains the headers of the Sound slots in the focused Group. The header
of the focused Sound slot is highlighted.
If you select another Group (by pressing its Group button), the displays directly switch to the
Sound slots of the newly focused Group.
13.5.2 Adjusting the Level and Pan in Mix Mode
The Mix mode allows you to quickly adjust the level and panoramic position of each of your
channels via Knobs 1–8. To do this:
1. If you want to adjust the level and panoramic position of Groups, switch to the Group view
by pushing the 4-D encoder upwards.
2. If you want to adjust the level of a Sounds, switch to the Sound view by pushing the 4-D
encoder downwards.
3. If you want to adjust the panoramic position of a Sound, press the 4-D encoder and turn
it counterclockwise to pan the Sound to the left or clockwise to pan the Sound to the
right.
4. Use the Page buttons to show the desired channels on the displays. You can also use the
Group buttons and pads of your controller to directly switch to the desired channel.
5. At the bottom of the displays, the selected parameter appears under each channel strip.
6. Turn the desired Knob(s) 1–8 to adjust the displayed parameter in the corresponding
channel(s). You can also use the 4-D encoder to adjust that parameter for the focused
channel.
Hold SHIFT while adjusting a value to make finer adjustments.
