Overview of Operations

This section describe typical procedures for operating the M-5000.
For more information abut the operation procedures, refer to the
Reference Manual (PDF).

Fader Bank Section

On the M-5000, operations are carried out using groups of eight
faders. Each set of eight faders is called a "fader bank. "
The M-5000 is provided with three fader banks. You can operate
the respective fader banks in an interlinked way or independently,
enabling you to carry out your intended operations instantly.

Layers

Each fader bank has two basic layers (CHANNEL and DCA/BUS) and
three customizable layers (USER 1 through 3) that you can switch
between according to purpose.

Scrolling

Pressing the [SCROLL K] or [SCROLL J] button shifts the channels
accessed by the fader bank in the currently selected layer by eight
channels at a time.

Press a layer button to switch to the desired layer.
If you pressed the button at a "Normal bank" (p. 46), other normal
banks also change in an interlinked way.
If an isolated bank has been pressed, only that isolated bank is
switched.
Layer button Description
[CHANNEL] This accesses the input-channel layer.
This accesses the layer of the DCA group
[DCA/BUS] master and the output buses (MAIN,
SUBGROUP, AUX, MIX-MINUS, and MATRIX).
[USER 1]–[USER 3] These access user-assigned channels.

Scrolling the Channels

1. Press the [SCROLL K] or [SCROLL J] button to scroll the
channels.
The channels assigned to the fader bank section in the selected
layer are switched in groups of eight.

normal banks also change in an interlinked way.

Anchor Channels

You can mark channels you want to access rapidly in the various
layers. These are called "anchor channels. "
Specifying anchor channels in the respective layers lets you quickly
jump to the desired channel. You can register up to 8 anchor
channels in each layer.
Memo
In the settings, preset anchors are present in the CHANNEL layer
at every 24th channel and in the DCA/BUS layer by channel type
(DCA, MAIN, SUBGROUP, and the like).
