j1
ST 2/AUX switch
Set this to 
ST 2
 to send the input signals directly to the 
ST 2/AUX buss after being adjusted by the 
ST 2/AUX
 
knobs. Since this has no effect on the signals sent to 
the ST 1 buss, this unit can be used as mixer with two 
independent stereo busses.
Set this to 
AUX
 to send the signals to the ST 2/AUX 
buss after being adjusted by the ST 1 and then the 
ST 2/
AUX
 knobs. Set this way, ST 1 can be used as the main 
buss and ST 2/AUX can be used as an AUX send.
