Button Modules
When using the button module, pressing and holding a channel button while pressing another
channel button selects those two channels and all channels in between, similar to using the [Thru]
command from the keypad.
Century Mode
Century mode allows you to display up to 100 elements on the LCD1 direct selects at once. It also
allows you to quickly move to higher element numbers using the “millennium” buttons.
On LCD 1, there is a {100} touchbutton that allows you to enter century mode. When pressed, LCD
1 changes to display a 10x10 array of direct selects. Also ten “century” buttons appear granting you
one-touch access to banks of successive direct selects (100 each), based on their numbering.
Therefore pressing {201} will display direct selects 201-300 for the selected array, {301} displays
301-400 and so on.
Additionally, five “millennium” buttons appear, which grant you access to the “century” buttons of
additional millennia of direct selects. Therefore pressing {2001} changes the century buttons to
apply to direct selects 2001-3000, pressing {3001} accesses 3001-4000 and so on.
As with any array of direct selects, you may use the {select} touchbutton to choose which options
you want displayed while in century mode (for example: channels, groups, palettes, presets).
Offset
{Offset} is a feature used select a range of channels from a broader channel selection. For the offset
feature to function, you must first select a group of channels, then press {Offset}. When {Offset} is
pressed, the softkeys change to the following: {Even}, {Odd}, {Reverse} and {Random}. These
keys, along with the numeric keys from the keypad are used to create channel offsets.
The following examples illustrate how offset works:
• [1] [thru] [10] {Offset} {Even} [Enter] - selects channels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
• {Channel 1} & {Channel 9} {Offset} {Reverse} [Enter] - using button modules on the direct
selects, this selects channels 1 through 9 in reverse order.
• [1] [thru] [2] [0] {Offset} [3] [Enter] - from the selected group, this syntax would select
channels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 which is an offset of every third channel from the selection.
• {Group 5} {Offset} {Random} [Enter] - selects all channels in Group 5 and places them in
random order. This selection may be used only temporarily or it may be recorded to a new
Group.
• [1] [thru] [2] [0] {Offset} {Even} {Random} [Enter] - selects all even channels within the
range and puts them in random order.
• {Offset} [4] [Enter] -selects every fourth channel in the current channel selection.
N o t e : This feature is not supported without use of the button module.
