Note: The Mode that is recalled also depends on the option set in the Value section’s
Mode menu (See “

Value Modes take effect.

Explanation

Direct

The stated Mode is activated in the Zone it belongs to. It is not necessary for
the Mode Change assignment to be located in the same Zone.
Example: While Shift is held down, button X switches the encoders to EQ view.
The Shift and X buttons are in Zone A, but the encoders are in Zone B.
All other value modes: Only the Modes of the Zone the Mode Change
assignment is located in can be recalled. The destination parameter minimum
is this Zone’s first Mode, and the maximum is the Zone’s last Mode.

Toggle

A button might toggle between the Zone’s first Mode and the stated Mode
