BUS key
An individual BUS page allows the routing for a single channel on the recorder's internal mix busses and to the
output busses. The number keypad on the Mix-12 can be used to make channel assignments on the recorder and
assign the outputs.
The illuminated BUS key indicates channel, output or disk that is in the mix while in STOP mode. While in
RECORD mode, the illuminated BUS key indicates the channels in the disk mix.
When the BUS key is pressed once, the Input (#) – BUS page appears on your recorder.
Pressing a number (on the built-in keypad, the recorder front panel or a separate keyboard) toggles between the
