Assigning Mixer Controls
An Overview
The general procedure to change (edit) what a control sends or
change its name, is to enter Assign Mode by pressing Assign.
then do the following:
1. Select the control by moving it. This control is “held” in the
LCD display, and you cannot at this point decide to edit a
different control.
If you meant to edit a different control, press Assign twice to
exit and re-enter Assign mode.
2. Make the desired edit, by turning the rotary encoders below
the parameters shown the LCD.
3. Use the right-most encoder to change pages, to see and edit
more parameters for a single control.
4. To keep the changes, and store them to memory, press Enter
on the Keypad.
5. You may then proceed to select another control to edit.
6. To discard the changes, do not press Enter. Simply press
Assign to exit Assign mode.
7. When you are done editing, be sure that you have exited
Assign mode. Yellow LED off.

The Function Buttons Section
This chapter discusses how to assign and use the F buttons,
W Buttons, the Cursor Buttons and M buttons.
Before proceeding, it is important to briefly restate the Basic
Modes of Operation: User Assignable Mode vs. Special Mode.
In the User Assignable Mode, (the way the unit normally
powers-up), you, the user, can set it up how you want,
determining what kind of commands the controls send, and
how it controls your audio or video system.
In Special Mode, the audio or video system "takes over" the
MCS controller. The designers of the system (that is, the makers
of your Audio or Video system) have pre-determined how the
MCS works with your system.
This chapter relates to User Assignable Mode Only.
If your system switches the MCS Controller into Special Mode,
you will need to refer to the documentation included with the
system for operation instructions.
Attributes of the Function Buttons
The Function Buttons can have an alternate assignment using
the Shift button.
For example,
Pressing F1 can send an MMC command to Eject a tape.
Pressing Shift and F1 can send a Note command to play a
sampled sound.
The commands sent by the Function Buttons are not affected
by the Bank switch.
