change the setting for any of these fields, click the field in the CIA to activate it. If the field requires
data, enter it from the keypad. If the field is a toggle state, one click of the button will switch the field
to its other state.

can exist in the patch, but they can be distributed throughout the entire 99,999 channel count. Enter
the number of channels for your system using the keypad. This entry must be confirmed with the
[Enter] key.
