Utilities
There are three
UTILITY
screens, accessed with the
UTILITY
key.
The first of these (
PARAM COPY
) provides a method of
copying values between channel parameters.
The second (
EXT. SW
) determines the function of the
external footswitch.
The last (
SYSTEM
) allows CF card management and
date setting. These have already been described in
“Formatting a new card” on page 24 and “Setting the
date and time” on page 27 and are not described
again here.

UTILITY copying
This screen allows the aux send levels and pan set-
tings for a group of channels to be set up to mirror
the settings made on the channel faders, and the other
way around. This may be useful when setting up a
studio monitor mix, for example, and the levels and
pans of the aux sends used for the monitor mix
should initially be set to the same as the channels.
