Overview of Operations

This section describes typical procedures for operating the M-5000.

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.
