wheel to select the desired function.

OFF/FADER ID (NO MESSAGE)
Whenever one of the 16 programmable buttons is programmed as "Off / Fader ID" it will identify its associated fader
when on the top of the preset screen. For example, pressing button 16 would cause the PC 1600x to display "Fdr16
: <fader name>." This allows you to see what the fader is going to do (if it is named) before moving it, without having
to look at the edit screens.
MUTE/SOLO FADER
A button can be assigned to mute the associated fader. Pressing the button will mute the fader by sending the
minimum value for the fader, and then disable the fader. When muted, moving the fader will have no effect. When
the button is pressed again, the current fader message is sent, and the fader is enabled. To program a button to
mute the associated fader, simply select "Mute fader" for the button function.
A button can be programmed to solo the associated fader by simply selecting the "Solo fader" function for the
button. With this function, pressing the button will send the minimum value for each fader except the button's
