7 Knobs
You use these knobs to control the values of multiple parameters (or knob settings)
on each track. At any given time each knob controls a single parameter only. You
use the KNOB FUNCTION panel (see item 9 below) to switch the parameter con-
trolled by the knobs.
When you are working the main screen, each knob controls its default parameter.
You can set these default separately for each track using the TRACK SET | MAIN
job (
