Select Channels From the Direct Selects
Direct selects provide one-touch selection of channels, groups, palettes, presets, effects and
macros. Eos provides the ability to display an a array of 20, 50, or 100 channels on direct select
displays with paging buttons provided for easy scrolling.
See “Using Direct Selects” on page 30.
Place any of the direct selects in channel mode by pressing {Select} followed by the {Channels}
button. When channels are posted to the direct selects, you can select one simply by pressing the
channel’s touchbutton. The command line will show the appropriate channel and the selected direct
select will turn gray.
Unlike selecting channels from the command line, channel selection from the direct selects is an
additive process. When a channel is selected, it is added to the current selection set. To select only
one channel and deselect all others, double-press the channel button.
For Example:
If channels [1] [Thru] [5] are selected from the keypad, pressing {Channel 6} from the direct
selects adds channel 6 to the current channel selection.
If channels [1] [Thru] [5] are selected from the keypad, pressing {Channel 6} {Channel 6}
deselects channels 1 through 5 and selects channel 6.
The following examples illustrate the various methods of selecting channels using the direct
selects:
• {Channel 1} - adds channel 1 to the currently selected channels, if not currently selected.
• This is similar to pressing [+] [1] [Enter] from the keypad. However if channel 1 were
currently selected when you pressed {Channel 1}, this would deselect channel 1 from
the channel selection.
• {Channel 5} {Channel 6} - adds channels 5 and 6 to the current channel selection.
• This is similar to pressing [+] [5 [+] [6] [Enter] from the keypad.
• {Channel 5} {Channel 5} - selects channel 5 and deselects all other channels.
• This is similar to pressing [5] [Enter] on the keypad, when the previous instruction is
terminated.
