Banks
A fundamental navigational concept in Realtime Rack is the Bank. A Bank is a subset of
all available MADI channels. Channels contained within a
Current Bank are represented
by the Channel Select Buttons in the Channels Bar and the Bank Bar .
Current Bank
The Current Bank is all the channels displayed in the Channels Bar. Channels contained
within the Current Bank are represented by the Channel Select buttons and the thin blue
Bank Bar.
The Current Bank is changed with the Bank Bar. The number of Current Bank channels
can be changed with the Bank Size setting.
Bank Size
The number of channels displayed simultaneously in the Current Bank is determined by
the Bank Size setting, which is set in View Menu>Settings>Display Tab>BANK SIZE.
Bank Bar
The thin blue Bank Bar visually represents all channels in the
Current Bank . The Bank
Bar is used for Current Bank navigation within all View screens.
Bank Bar Navigation
The Bank Bar is used to change the Current Bank. Any of the following methods can be
used to navigate available channels:
• Drag – Drag the Bank Bar, or anywhere in the Input Meters area, with the mouse
to change the current bank. With this method, the current bank can be shifted by
one or more channels.
• Click Input Meter – Single click any channel’s green input meter to switch directly
to the bank that contains the channel. With this method, the number of channels
shifted is determined by the BANK SIZE setting.
• Arrow keys – When the Bank Bar has keyboard focus, use the left/right arrow keys
to shift the current bank. With this method, the number of channels shifted is
determined by the BANK SIZE setting.
