compact si e. To achieve this, there are several assignable features it is advisable you understand
before using the console for performance.
Assi n ilit
Assignability means that one button can assign a function to many other buttons. For example,
pressing a Control Channel SEL button assigns that channel s entire channel strip and associated
controls to the Assignable Channel Strip (ACS) section. In this way, the ACS can ta e the place of
many sets of repeated controls.
In addition, the console has 14 Mix busses, four stereo Matrix busses, and four internal F send
busses, most conveniently accessed with the tOTEM controls, which assign their respective bus
mixes to the console faders.
For full detail on the Si Impact s assignable controls, please see section 3.
Also note that the MI 1-14 Busses and Bus masters serve the same function as Auxiliary Mix
busses and masters.

Because the console has inputs and outputs that can be patched anywhere, and DSP channels that
can be controlled by any Control Channel, these elements are considered separate in this manual.

channels (console surface controls) and the channel processing elements that they control.
Se ti n 8 (Mix Features) deals with console performance functions that sit outside the assignable channel
ter references (For example, the INPUTS menu is dealt with in the Input Channels reference).

Use the power switch on the rear of the console to turn the console on and off. To boot into software update
mode, hold down the recessed Boot Loader switch when turning on.
