 LATCH: Similar to Touch mode, but the control remains active—even when the fader
is no longer being touched, or the V-Pot is not being turned. When you release the

you have set all channel strips to Off mode, press Read/Off twice while holding down
the OPTION key. The Read/Off button LED turns on, then off.
