Arrow Up and Arrow Down Buttons

The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons move up or down by “banks” of tracks (or
between “pages” of parameters, as discussed earlier). To quickly explain, a single
iControl device is only capable of viewing eight tracks at a time. To see, and edit or mix
more tracks, simply press the Arrow Up or Arrow Down button to switch between
tracks 1 to 8, 9 to 16, 17 to 24 and so on.

Note that when shifting by bank, this always “quantizes” to integer banks. As an
example: Your song has 19 tracks, and the iControl is displaying tracks 1 to 8.
Â

Pressing the Arrow Down button shifts to tracks 9 to 16

Â

Pressing the Arrow Down button again shifts to tracks 12 to 19

Â

Pressing the Arrow Up button shifts back to tracks 9 to 16, not 4 to 11

This way, you always revert to the bank positions you expect, and are used to.

Note: Pressing the Arrow Up button while holding down the Option button jumps to
the first tracks, and pressing the Arrow Down button jumps to the last tracks in the
song—as an example (in a 64 track song), tracks 1 to 8 or tracks 57 to 64.

If the Generator, EQ, Effect 1, or Effect 2 button is illuminated, the Arrow Up and Arrow
Down buttons have different functionality. See the sections above for details.

The Channel Strip(s)

As each channel strip is identical, the information discussed in this section applies
equally to all eight of the iControl channel strips.

Select Button

This button is used to select a channel for channel-based editing or assignment
commands. Each channel features an independent Select LED which is lit when a track
is selected.

Note: If the Track Info button is illuminated, the Select buttons behave differently. See

Track Info

” on page 103 for details.

Record Enable Button

This button arms or disables the channel for recording. Each channel features an
independent Record Button LED which illuminates when a track is “armed” for
recording.

Note: Holding down the Option button, while pressing any Record Enable button will
disarm all tracks.
