Basic operation on the PM5D

This chapter explains the various types of user interface used to operate the PM5D.

About the various types of user interface

Basic parameters such as mixing and editing the sound of each channel can be controlled by the faders and encoders of the top
panel. However to make more detailed settings, you will need to access the appropriate "function" and edit the parameter val-
ues in the display. The section below explains the various user interface components shown in the display, and how to use
them.
