CHANNEL ENCODERS
Channel encoders always control a parameter on their own channel strip. The function of the channel
encoders can be globally selected via the [INPUT GAIN], [GATE THRS] and [PAN] keys on the Encoder
Mode panel (see Figure 7- 2).
Figure 7-2: Encoder Mode Panel.
[USER1] and [USER2] are currently used to set the channel encoders to control the Low-cut Filters and
the High-cut Filters respectively.
[SETUP] is reserved for future use.
HINT: If [ALL BUSSES] is active or a MATRIX output is soloed, the channel encoders are disabled and have
no function (the previous function is remembered however).
HINT: If Stereo Aux sends are assigned to the channel faders (using FLW Output Solo), the channel
encoders control the PAN for their channel’s contribution to the soloed Stereo Aux bus.

USER SETUP
User Setup for the two rows of VST encoders and the channel encoder are similar, except that
for the channel encoder setup you can set two different [USER 1] and [USER 2] Layers,
whereas for VST encoder rows you set a single layer which contains the functions for both the
upper and lower VST Rows.
[SETUP] for the channel rotary or [SETUP] for the VST encoders opens the Encoder Assign
Mode page in the master screen, and the Encoder Assign page in all four input screens.
