Selecting channels on Express consoles

Using the keypad to set channel levels involves two steps: selecting the channels whose levels you want to modify, then entering output levels.

• To select a single channel, enter the channel number preceded by [Channel] if the [Channel] LED is not lit. For example, [Channel] [1] selects channel 1 or just entering 1 will do it if the [Channel] LED is lit.
• To select two channels that are not consecutively numbered, enter the number of the first channel, then press [And] and enter the number of the second channel. For example, [Channel] [1] [And] [7] selects channels 1 and 7.
• To select a group of consecutively numbered channels, enter the number of the first channel, then press [Thru] and enter the last num- ber. For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [9] selects channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
• To exclude consecutive channels from a selected group of channels, press [Except] before entering the channels to exclude. For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [1][5] [Except] [5] [Thru] [1][3] selects channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, and 15.
• Use [And] to select each non-consecutive channel to include in a selection. For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [5] [And] [8] [And] [1][1] selects channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 11.
• Use [Except] to exclude each non-consecutive channel from a selection. For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [5] [Except] [1] [Except [5] selects channels 2, 3 and 4.
• If no channels are selected, press [Enter] to select all channels currently at a level above zero.

Once you have entered your channel selections, you are ready to set channel levels.
