1.3.5 The Assigned Channel .........................................................

One of the channels in the Channel Strip panel is displayed in gold, indicating that it is currently the Assigned Channel. This means
that it has been assigned to the worksurface controls and can be configured in detail, as described below. To Assign a channel,
touch anywhere in the channel on the screen.

Once a channel is Assigned, all of the controls for that channel which are not displayed within the channel strip itself can be
accessed via secondary pop-ups, displayed by touching inside the relevant area of the channel. These pop-ups include controls
such as input and output routing and signal processing parameters.
A number of the physical rotary encoders on the control surface can be assigned to different on-screen pots. In order to ensure
that it is clear which function is assigned to which encoder, the assigned on-screen pot will have a coloured ring around it.

The twelve encoders and buttons immediately below the touchscreen (shown above) refer to the channels with which they are aligned.
Pressing one of the Quick Select buttons on the left of the screen will assign the selected function to these controls below the screen. Six
aux sends can be displayed in the Channel Strip panel at any one time. If more than six aux sends have been created in the session, the
scroll button outside the bottom left-hand corner of the screen can be used to scroll the display through the remaining auxiliaries.
The controls to the right of the Channel Strip panel allow the Assigned channel to be adjusted:
