Chapter 5 Control Screens
Direct the cursor with the Trackerball and press the central red button
above the Trackerball to operate button. All routing assignments are
indicated by buttons turning red.
To display other groups of 8 channels, click on the appropriate softkey at
the bottom of the GUI or push its button below the screen. Select MORE
for further groups of channels.
Upper Surround buttons
The set of 8 buttons at the top of the GUI, set out in a 7.1 LS arrangement,
indicate surround routing assignments set by the buttons in the MULTI-
FORMAT section of the ROUTING panel. The buttons that are
operational at any one time depend on the format set in the centre section
(see Chapter 4 for details).
They set assignments for the Main Output Bus or the M/T Busses,
depending on which is selected on the SELECT TO FADERS panel. But
note that assignments to M/T Busses are possible only if at least one stem
has been assigned to the M/T Busses (see Chapter 4 for details).
If {CHANS} is lit, the assignments for the Main Output Bus are displayed
and changes can be made using the buttons on the ROUTING panel, or
using a Trackerball and associated buttons. If
{M/T SEND} is lit, then these
buttons display Stem assignments for the current stem.
Stem buttons A-H
These buttons, in the lower section of the GUI, inter-cancel and select
which stem the 8 buttons in the LS layout are assigned to.
To avoid routing the same signals to multiple stems, there is an automatic clear
option so that when a new stem is selected, assignments for the previous stem are
de-assigned. Alternatively they can be cleared manually allowing assignments to
multiple stems. See the “STEM CLEARING” option in the section for the
PREFERENCES GUI, later in this Chapter.
Routing buttons 1-48
These buttons reflect routing assignments to the Multitrack or M/T Busses.
Press any button on the ROUTING panel to make an assignment. The
output of the M/T Send Fader controls the level. If the M/T Pan is
switched in, then the L output feeds odd numbered busses and the R feeds
the even.
Stems A-H, which utilise groups of M/T Busses and can be up to 7.1 wide,
are set up via the centre section (see Chapter 4 for details). When stems
have been set up, the tracks they have been assigned to are distinguished
by colour coding of their outside borders. There is a different colour for
each stem. They are automatically mapped to the buttons laid out in the
form of a set of surround LS at the top of the GUI. So for example, if
track 35 is assigned as the Centre track for a stem, just press the
{ C }
button and the track 35 button lights too.
