7.3.4 Modifying a matrix 
In order to modify a matrix, follow the steps outlined in chapter 7.3.1 to first access the 
matrix. Then move the blue cursor to the output channels for which you'd like to choose 
a different input source. 
1.  Rotate the [IN] encoder in order to immediately change the current set of 
source channels. In the above example, rotating it clockwise by one step 
would move the grey cursor to channels 25-32, while the output cursor 
remains on channels 1-8 of Matrix 1. 
2.  In order to change the physical MADI stream that is currently selected as 
a source, push the input encoder once. A thin red line below the physical 
input icon shows that the [IN] encoder can now be used to change the 
MADI input port for the channel group selection. 
After selecting a different MADI input port, press the [OUT] encoder once 
in order to reassign the [IN] encoder to the audio channel selection. 
To leave the routing screen, press the [OUT] encoder several times until IDLE is shown 
on the router display. 
7.3.5 Buttons while in matrix view 
When displaying or editing a matrix, the buttons [ROUTE], [GANG] and [SETUP] have 
new assignments. In order to access the standard [PRESET] and [SETUP] menus, it is 
necessary to first leave the matrix view by pressing the [OUT] encoder three times. 
[GANG] button 
While the [GANG] button is pushed, the behavior of the [IN] and [OUT] encoder changes: 
  [GANG] + rotate [INPUT] encoder clockwise 
This combination links the output cursor to the movement of the input cursor and 
as  a  result  automatically  increments  the  channel  routings.  It  is  the  most 
commonly used ganging mechanism and it should be employed when you need 
to extend patches consecutively (such as IN4-OUT6, IN5-OUT7, IN6-OUT8…). 
On the routing indicator, this process simply extends a thick line. 
[GANG] + rotate [OUTPUT] encoder clockwise 
This feature copies the current input patch to the next output. 
[GANG] + push [INPUT] encoder
