The channel numbers correspond to the slider numbers. When this Target is selected, the sixteen-position rotary switch is used to change functions, so you can simply and rapidly switch between them. There is a SEND ALL pushbutton, which updates the target device with all the slider positions. A lamp in the display window flashes to clearly indicate when MIDI data is transmitted by the C16 . The lamp flashes for data being transferred from the MIDI in port, as well as that generated as a result of movement on the front panel controls of C16 itself.
Space is provided on the hardy polyester front panel to name the fader assignments.
