■ Causing top panel fader and
pan knob operations to take
effect immediately

condition, switching between INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX
can cause the fader or pan knob locations to no longer
match the actual volume level or pan. In such cases, an Ò
✱Ó
symbol will be appended to the displayed values of the set-
tings. Also, when the fader or pan locations are shown in
the bar display, the current channel fader locations will
blink.

locations do not match the actual volume level or panning.
Null: Changes will not occur until the channel
fader or pan knob is moved to the actual
value (same as Ver.1).
Jump: The actual value will change at the instant
that the fader or pan knob is moved.
5. Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)].
You will return to Play condition.
