There was a little big of a logical learning curve for me, but I do say it is a lot better than Yamaha's "channel pair" technique. IMHO, it is a waste of console real estate and channels I needed to pair landed on an even channel.

My typical workflow is I get the faders set as I want them on the control surface; to include multiple spare mono and stereo channels aready patched. Then, I do a 1-to-1 patch within the patch bay, to include the spare channels as well. Seems to work well for my setups. I'd rather have spare channels already assigned than fudge around with it last minute and try to make sense out of disorganization.
