The aux and FX sends are adjusted with the channel controllers
and the display. Using the AUX and FX switches in the left
switch block you can assign one common aux or FX send to the
channel controllers of channels 1-16 or 17-32. When you press
the AUX and FX switches in the left switch block, the AUX and
FX send page is displayed, providing you with an overview of all
sends and masters, including their pre and post-fader settings.

If DISPLAY FOLLOWS CHANNEL CONTROL on the
PREFS page in the SETUP menu is activated (default),
the corresponding menus will be displayed as soon
as you press a switch. If this function is disabled,
the pages will be displayed only after pressing a
switch in the channel control bank a second time.
The 11 LEDs surrounding the channel controllers in the channel
strips indicate the level of the selected aux send, which can be
adjusted by turning the channel controller. The LED ring will
display the updated level.

The displayed aux and FX sends are the send parameters
available on the selected channel. Any changes made to the
send values with the channel controllers are immediately shown
in the display.
+
If the AUTO CHANNEL SELECT function on the PREFS
page in the SETUP menu is enabled, and you operate
a channel controller or fader, the display will
instantly switch to the associated channel, i. e. you
do not need to switch over with the SELECT
switches in the channels.

In addition to the channel controllers in the individual channels,
you can also turn master controllers 1-4 to adjust the levels, and
press them to switch over from pre to post-fader, and vice
versa. Master controllers 5 & 6 control the overall level of the
aux and FX sends. Master controller 5 selects the master send
to be controlled, and master controller 6 controls its level. Press
master controller 6 to set the overall level of the selected master
send to 0 dB.
+
Some channels, such as the BUS OUT 1-16 and AUX/
FX master, have no aux or FX sends. On these
channels the LEDs around the channel controller
will be blank, and turning the controller will have no
effect.
All of the eight aux and FX masters can be adjusted with the
faders upon selection of the fader bank AUX/FX. Thus, you can
not only control all aux and FX master sends at the same time
with the faders, but you can also use the level indicators next to
the faders to display the overall levels. Channel strips 1-4 function
as the aux masters 1-4, faders 5-8 as the FX masters 1-4, and
faders 9-16 as the stereo FX returns 1-4.
With the help of the PAIR and GROUP functions in the AUX/FX
faders menu, you can organize the aux master sends in pairs or
groups. In this case, they function as stereo sends, also in the
input channels (see chapter 7.2.3 "Pairing aux master sends").
The master FX sends cannot be organized in groups or form a
pair respectively.
