Key Syntaxes
There are mainly two kinds of keys in the console: keys with a fixed function, and softkeys in the
screens.
Keys in the Cobalt can behave in the following ways
Function Description Example
Direct Will perform a function directly
when it is pressed. GO and PAUSE in the Main
Playback
Numerical
Prefix
Requires a numerical entry (0-
9) before it is pressed.
(#) RECORD to store a
preset with that number
Combination Will change the function of another
key if it is held down while
pressing that key.
Hold C/Alt and press
PLAYBACK to clear the
Main Playback
Some keys can combine all three ways of working. An example of this is the PRESET key
• Pressing PRESET with no numerical prefix opens the Preset List with all presets.
• A number and PRESET selects the channels of that specific preset.
• A number and holding PRESET while pressing a Master Key will load preset (#) to that
Master.
NOTE
Hold down the ? (HELP) key, and press any key to get help on it.
