The following paragraphs outline the various switches and front panel controls.

NUMBER SWITCHES 1-16

The array of 16 switches on the left side of the panel, which are numbered 1-16,
are multi-purpose. The function switches that are to the right of these determine
what they do. Only one function is selected at a time and the LED for the particular
function will be lit when selected. These functions are described throughout the rest
of the manual.
FIXTURE SWITCH
This allows you to select fixtures for programming. With the "fixture" LED lit, the
number switches are used to select an active fixture. When a fixture is selected it
can be directly controlled using the faders or the joystick. A selected fixture can
also be controlled using a preset. A fixture does not have to be selected to be
controlled by scenes or shows. If a fixture is not selected it will only be
disconnected from the manual controls, the fixture is not turned off.
When a fixture is selected its name will appear in the LCD. If no fixture type has
been assigned to that number, it can't be turned on. Pressing and holding one of
the number switches will solo that fixture.

CHANNEL FADERS

Just below the number switches are 8 faders that can be used to control the
individual channels within each fixture. You can address up to 32 channels per
fixture by using 4 banks of 8 faders. The bank switch to the left of the faders is used
to select which bank of 8 channels is currently active. The LED to the left of the
faders shows the current bank. The channel numbers controlled by the faders are
printed to the left of each fader. For example the first fader can control channels 1,
9, 17 or 25 depending on which bank is selected. If a fixture has less than 32
channels, some banks and some faders will not be used. Before the channel
faders can control a fixture, that fixture must be selected. Any number of fixtures
can be controlled at once. If for example all fixtures are enabled, moving fader 1
in bank 1 will change channel 1 on every fixture.
If you are using the "multi fixture" feature, the channel faders can be used to
control each channel of every fixture within the multi fixture group. If for example
you have programmed 8 fixtures having 4 channels each, faders 1-4 will control the
first fixture of the multi fixture group, faders 5-8 the second and so on.
