Quick Reference Guide
Channel select (lower) and channel type sections
The Channel select (lower) and channel type sections are used in combination to
navigate a single channel to the control surface, which is generally used for rectifying a
fault on a problem channel.
ALIGN button
The ALIGN button (both input select sections) navigates the currently selected
channel to the local input bay. This is useful, for example, if you have scrolled away
from the selected channel on the control surface and you want to get the fader back.
B button
The B button (master bay input select section only) assigns the 4-channel input bay
as area B. This operates with the channel strip on the right (in the master bay).
Right arrow (to right channel) button
The right arrow (to right channel) button — to the right of the top output select
buttons — assigns the channel strip, navigation controls and sends in the master bay to
the top row of outputs.
About the navigation ‘select’ sections
The ‘select’ sections in the mix and master bays (see Figure 7 on page 20) are used for
navigating the channels and mixes, and also show you which ones are currently
selected. They have the following functions:
• channel select (upper) section — scrolls either the input or output fast strips
(depending on selected channel type) channel-by-channel. Current channel
selection follows the scroll, which is shown on the section’s display, along with the
channel type.
• input select section — scrolls the inputs in banks (of four). Shows you which banks
of inputs currently populate the control surface by illuminating the appropriate bank
LEDs. When using VCA/POP groups, an LED will flash if its bank contains a
channel(s) that are members of the selected group, but don’t currently populate the
control surface. This section also has an ALIGN button and a B button (master bay
only).
• mix section — scrolls the mix buses singly or in banks of eight. Shows you the you
the number and type (aux or matrix) of the currently select mix bus. The quick
access button assigns the currently selected mix bus to the channel strip.
• channel select (lower) and channel type sections — see “Channel select (lower)
and channel type sections” above.
How to navigate
This section shows you how to navigate the channels, mixes and groups, and how to
select the ones you want. Refer to Figure 7 “Location of the navigational controls on
the control surface” on page 20 throughout this section.
In many cases there are a number of navigational methods you can choose from to
carry out a particular task. Some may be more suitable than others in a given situation
and there may even be a combination of methods you an use. Experience should guide
you to the most appropriate and the ones you most prefer.
