Page 42: Wing Mix
Good to know: What is a mixer? Each model memory has eight freely programmable linear mixers, four freely programmable curve mixers and four cross-mixers. These mixers basically allow a control signal from one control to be mixed with another channel. Depending on the type of mixer, this can be adjusted linearly, in the form of a curve or crosswise. -
