from the screen to the right, there are (typically) four bracketed phrases
along the bottom.
Press the
ing the soft key below a bracketed phrase highlights that phrase and allows
you to adjust the parameter associated with that phrase. From now on, we'll
just treat those phrases as if they were actually the soft keys like so: "press
{IN GAIN} ."

than once cycles through the gang. First the parameters are
linked, then just one is adjustable, then just the other is ad-
