Soft Key bumps the controller assignment from its current level to full.
Chaser Go/Hold is the default for chaser assignments. Pressing the Soft Key starts the
chaser. Pressing it while a chaser is running stops and blacks out the chaser.
The [SHIFT] accesses the Go Controller operation, an automatic fade of the
controller assignment.

assignments. Latch may be used in conjunction with either of the SOLO keys.

function.
4. – SOLO When this is active, pressing a SK blacks out the output of the selected
controller only. May be used in conjunction with the latch function.
