Encoder Automation Mode Indicator
Below each encoder knob is an LED marked "auto," which
lights when the corresponding parameter is enabled for auto-
mation. The indicator lights green for Read mode, yellow
when armed for automation in any of the Write modes, and
red when writing automation in any of the Write modes.
Encoder Display
Each encoder has a six-character display that shows parameter
names. When the corresponding encoder knob is touched or
moved, the display shows parameter values.
Encoder displays use colors and backlighting to indicate the
following:
• Green: Default color for input, insert, send, pan, and mic
pre parameter names and values
• Inverted green: Inactive input, inactive output, inactive
plug-in or inactive send names
• Yellow: Assignment options in Assign mode, any param-
eters in Flip mode
• Red: Clipped plug-in, send or channel
Dynamics and EQ Plug-in Indicators
When viewing inserts on an encoder, these LEDs light to indi-
cate the presence of a Dynamics plug-in (yellow LED) or EQ
plug-in (green LED).
Mute and Pre Indicators
When viewing sends on an encoder, these LEDs light to indi-
cate that the send is muted (red LED) or set to pre-fader oper-
ation (green LED).
Encoder Select Switch
Each encoder has a Select switch that is used to assign an in-
sert or send to that encoder, or to display insert or send
parameters for editing.
Inserts
When assigning an insert, the encoder Select switch is used to
confirm the selection of the following elements on each level:
• Insert type (TDM plug-in, RTAS plug-in, Multi-Mono
TDM plug-in, Multi-Mono RTAS plug-in, or Hardware
Insert)
• Plug-in subfolder (such as EQ, Dynamics, Pitch Shift,
Reverb, or Delay)
• Individual insert or plug-in
When viewing a plug-in, the encoder Select switch is used to
display and edit plug-in parameters on that channel's rotary
encoders.

Sends
When assigning a send, the encoder Select switch is used to
confirm the selection of the following:
• Send type (interface or bus)
• Send assignment
When viewing a send, the encoder Select switch is used to dis-
play and edit send pan information on that channel's rotary
encoders.
Bypass/Mute/Pre Switch
Each encoder has a Bypass/Mute/Pre (B/M/P) switch whose
function depends on what is currently displayed on the en-
coder. With Sends, the function of the B/M/P switch also de-
pends on the current Switch Mode setting.
See "Switch Mode Switch" on page 57 for more information
on changing the Switch mode and viewing the current func-
tion of the B/M/P switch.
Inserts
When a plug-in name is displayed on an encoder (in the top
level Inserts display), the B/M/P switch bypasses the corre-
sponding plug-in. The B/M/P switch lights when the plug-in is
bypassed.
When a plug-in parameter is displayed on an encoder (by
pressing its Select switch) the B/M/P switch affects certain pa-
rameters (such as polarity or channel linking) that can be tog-
gled on and off.
Sends
When a send name is displayed on an encoder, the B/M/P
switch does one of the following:
• If the Switch Mode is set to Mute, the B/M/P switch
mutes the corresponding send. The red Mute LED lights
to indicate that the send is muted.
• If the Switch Mode is set to Pre, the B/M/P switch toggles
the corresponding send between pre- and post-fader op-
eration. The green Pre LED lights to indicate that the
send is set for pre-fader operation.
Mic Pre
When mic pre parameters are displayed on a channel strip's
encoders (in the top level Mic Pre display), the B/M/P switches
do the following:
• Top encoder B/M/P: toggles phantom power on and off
• Gain encoder B/M/P: toggles mic pre HPF on and off
• Source encoder B/M/P: toggles mic pre Insert on and off
• Pad encoder B/M/P: toggles mic pre Pad on and off
• Polarity encoder B/M/P: toggles mic pre Polarity
