GETTING STARTED - AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS MANUAL
2.0: INTRODUCTION TO THIS MANUAL
Anyone with minimal audio experience should be able to operate the Soundcraft Notepad console 
without reading too much of this manual, though we do recommend you take the time to go through it. 
An excellent place to start would be the feature list on the introductory page (section 1.0), which will 
familiarise you with all of the main possibilities, facilities, and functions.
Please note: Most of the illustrations in this 
manual are based on the Notepad-12FX 
console. Where there are differences between 
operation of Notepad-8FX and Notepad-5, it is 
noted in the relevant section.
PDF
If you’re reading the PDF version of the manual, 
you can use the thumbnail view and links from 
the contents page to navigate quickly.
For clarity, this manual uses section references 
rather than page numbers. In some instances, 
one section reference may extend to several 
pages.
