area during automation operations.
To the lower left of this button is a larger legend which
reflects the settings of the {ABS}, {TRIM} and {OFF}
buttons.
Touch AUTO legend for a pop-down of automation
options; what follows is a brief explanation of each.

the rear of the mixer. This mode can also be activated
in the AUTOMATION GUI by touching {FOOT SW}.
