To Assign the Rotary Encoders

First switch to the desired Bank. Then, select a channel by
pressing a Select button at the top of the fader channel.
Finally, select one of the 8 Page buttons.

Press Assign to enter Assign mode. The yellow LED is lit.

After entering Assign mode, rotating an Encoder knob
selects which one of the five encoders you will be
assigning.

At that point, the display “holds” the currently selected control.

If you change your mind and wish to edit a different control
instead, press Assign to exit assign mode. Press Assign again to
re-enter Assign mode and select a different control.

Use the LCD and rotary encoder knobs to edit the control.

Turn the right-most encoder knob to reveal additional editable
parameters.

After making the edit, press Enter on the Keypad to store the
changes to memory.

Jog and Shuttle Speed
The Speed of the Jog Wheel and the Shuttle Ring can be user-
adjusted in the Utility Mode.

The Speed of the Jog Wheel and the Shuttle Ring can be user-
adjusted in the Utility Mode.

To enter Utility Mode, press Shift Assign. Turn the right-most
encoder, and go to the page where you see "Jog" and 'Shuttle".

The Jog Speed range is 1 through 100.
Shuttle Speed range is 1x, 2x, 4x, 16x, and 32x. For example,
when the Shuttle Ring is rotated as far as its goes, the machine
will play up to 32 time play speed.

When controlling a digital audio workstation, there are several
factors that will affect the responsiveness of the wheel, in
addition to the Speed.

Some software applications feature a view of the audio
waveform, allowing the user to "zoom in" and "zoom out" of
the waveform. When "zoomed in", some applications produce
a slower and finer Jog. While "zoomed out", these applications
jog at a faster rate.

In addition (very important), your application may also have
some kind of software preference file for setting Jog
responsiveness.
