The row of 10 rotary controls together with the
key is known as the ‘soft strip’. This is because the
function of these controls changes depending on the
select key pressed. This means that only one set of
controls is needed so simplifying the layout and
preventing clutter. The functions are identified from
the labels printed above or the number keys below.
The
key is used to switch the selected EQ in or
out of circuit.
The soft controls do not have any markers or end
stops. The settings are read from the large LCD
display above. This provides a visual picture of the
settings as well as a readout of the values associated
with each control. The settings can be stored in
memory for recall during setup or performance. The
controls continue to operate from the values recalled.
keys scroll up or down through the available
menu options for the selected screen. Note that
repeated pressing of the round select keys has the
same effect. In the
screen these keys scroll
through the song memories in incremental order.

and
keys have the following functions:
The keys illuminate red and flash when confirmation
is required for the selected function. This gives you
the chance to reconsider your action when major
changes are about to occur, for example rewriting the
console settings with the contents of a memory, or
storing the current settings to a memory. Press
to confirm or
to escape.
remains lit without flashing during store if the
current and memory contents are the same.
Important data can be overwritten in error
if care is not taken to check your action before
pressing one of the flashing keys.
Tip Use the memory
function to prevent
selected memories being overwritten. Use the
channel
function to prevent recalled memories
overwriting selected channel settings. These are
described later.
In many screens pressing
will restore the screen
settings with the contents of the undo buffer. This
buffer holds the last settings before the screen was
selected, or the settings current when the
key
is pressed. For example, the current EQ settings can
be reverted to a previous setting stored to the buffer.
key instantly resets the selected screen settings
to the factory default. For example, you can reset an
EQ flat, restore default effects parameters, or reset all
foldback levels off to start again.
and
keys let you quickly copy settings
between channels and memories. For example, an
EQ can be copied to several other channels or to its
own channel in other song memories. The copy
buffer holds one type of settings at any time. The
key illuminates when valid copy data is
available. The copy buffer is cleared when the
console is switched off.
