CHANNEL SELECTS 1-32 (FAT CHANNELS) A FAT channel is an often-used term in digital consoles to describe a display mode for setting
parameters for a selected channel. It is equivalent to the Channel Screen on the 8-Series. When Ch 1-16 meters are displayed, move a toggle
right towards ‘Sel’ to select a fat channel for Ch 1-16. When Ch 17-32 meters are displayed, move a toggle right towards ‘Sel’ to select a fat
channel for Ch 17-32. To exit a Fat Channel, press Meter or move the channel’s toggle right again. When a fat channel is selected:
- The selected channel’s meter changes to a white background.
- The selected channel’s meter along with the channel’s number and name is displayed on the left hand side in the Drive/Power Info Area
- The selected channel is PFL’d. Its associated trim pot ring LED blinks yellow and PFL ‘n’ blinks in the headphone eld in the Main Info Area.
Press the HP knob to toggle between the channel’s PFL and the current HP preset. This allows you to monitor the mix even when adjusting
parameters for a channel.
- The upper and middle row knobs switch to the selected channel’s parameter controls whose functions are described in the upper and middle
