The SELECT Button

The SELECT buttons select channels for group-
ing, deletion and all other channel-related func-
tions that do not have dedicated controls on the
channel strip.
For example, you do not need to SELECT a chan-
nel in order to solo or mute it. Just press its
SOLO or MUTE button.
However, for any function that uses a set of con-
trols not found in the channel strip such as in-
put/output routing and other ASSIGN button
functions, or whenever you want to apply a cer-
tain function to multiple channels, the SELECT
button includes or excludes channels from the
operation.
The SELECT buttons are additive, or latching,
enabling the quick selection of several channels
without the need for any key strokes.
To select a single channel:
Press the SELECT; the green LED illuminates
when active.
SELECT Button Shortcuts

strips to the opposite state.
