CONTROLS
7. Special Crossfader Related Features
"Kill" (Flash/Eliminate EQ Toggles)
These toggles eliminate the signal level for their respective frequency (low range, midrange and high.) In
the upward position, the switch will lock in position. In the downward position, the switch eliminates the
frequency until it is released. The left set of kill switches is used to control the sound of the input assigned
to the left side of the Crossfader. The right set of kill switches is used to control the sound of the input
assigned to the right side of the Crossfader.
Punch In/Out Transform Buttons
The punch buttons are used to instantly switch or eliminate the output of the mixer depending on the
Crossfader position. See "Punch" In/Out Switches for details on the settings and action of this control.
"Punch" (Punch In/Out switches)
The position of these switches determines whether the output sound will be eliminated or replaced with
the output assigned to the opposite channel. When the switch is in the upward position and the Punch
button is held then the output will be replaced with the signal assigned to the opposite to the mixer until
the button is released. This Punch "In" function will only swap the output signals when the Crossfader is
either completely to the left or completely to the right. When the position of the In/Out switch is in the
downward position then pressing the punch button will eliminate the output for that side until the button
is released. The Punch "Out" function works independently of the Crossfader position.
"Fader Start" (Fader Start On/Off switches)
When engaged the fader start can be used to instantly start a fader-start compatible device (See "Inputs
and Outputs" Section 9) by moving the Crossfader away from the endpoints. The behavior of this control
is largely dependent on the settings of your fader start compatible device.
NOTE: If the Fader Start function is on, then the Punch "In" Function may be deactivated depending on
the Fader Start mode that is selected on your compatible device. Consult your connected Fader Start
device manual for details on how this function interacts with the connected device.

8. Effects Processing Controls

"Process" (FX Processing Switch)
When engaged, this button illuminates red in color and routes the signal for that channel (CH1, CH2, CH3
or Microphone) to the Send Output on the Rear of the Mixer (See "Inputs and Outputs" Section 9.) When
processing a signal on more than one channel (CH1 and CH2 for example) then the signals will be blended
together because they are both being routed to the same destination via the Send Output. For optimum
performance, it is recommended that only one channel be processed at a time.
"Process Blend" (FX/Master Signal Blend)
This rotary control continuously blends the master output signal and the effect. Turning the knob
completely to the right maximizes only the return signal from the effects processor and turning the knob
completely to the left maximizes only the master output signal. In the center position a 50% blend of the
master and the return signal are sent to the master output. Use the "cue" button to preview the blend of
FX and the master signal in the headphones.
