Conventions in this manual
In this manual, switch-type controllers on the panel are
called
“keys.” Control knobs on the panel are called
“knobs.” Some knobs rotate from a minimum value to a
maximum value, while others rotate endlessly.
Virtual buttons displayed on the screen are called
“buttons,” and virtual knobs are called “knobs.”
Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square
brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key) to distinguish them from
virtual buttons and knobs displayed on screen. For some
controls, the name of the section is given before the [ ]
(e.g., SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key).
