5. COPY Button : Used in conjunction with the SEL [3] buttons when copying channel settings
from one channel to another.
6. SWAP Button : By default, the input blocks of the channel strips are displayed at the top of the
virtual channel strip and the pan blocks at the bottom. The lower encoders control pan by
default, but pressing SWAP exchanges the on-screen positions of the input gain blocks and
pan blocks and reassigns the lower encoders as the channel input gain/trim controls. SWAP
also performs the same function on the outputs.
7. Faders : 16, 100 mm motorised faders. The fader information is displayed directly above the
fader on the OLED [11] screen. The fader is affected by any screen swiping or scrolling actions
plus any functions related to the fader e.g. GEQ. As the channels displayed on-screen are
changed, the faders reposition to follow the new channel set.
8. ON Buttons : Each fader has an ON button; when the button is unlit, the channel currently
displayed on-screen above it is muted. All channels default to OFF on power-up. The ON
button allows both ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ muting.
a.
‘ Soft’ Mute
:
a short press mutes the channel’s output electronically at the fader; any pre-
fade sends in use will remain active. The ON button is not illuminated.
b.
‘Hard’ Mute
: a long press mutes the channel and cannot be switched on via the
automation. The ON button flashes red in this state.
9. SOLO Buttons : Perform either a PFL (pre-fade listen), AFL (after-fade listen) or SIP (solo-in-
place) function, depending on settings made through the SOLO menu page on the MENU
screen.
The default mode for input channels is ‘Auto’ : if only one channel is solo’d it is PFL and
if multiple channels are solo’d it is AFL; Stereo channels under auto are always AFL ; Output
channels are AFL only. If the solo button illuminates pink it is in PFL, if it illuminates cyan it is
in AFL. AFL is post the channel pan pot (if in circuit), so correctly reflects the stereo imaging of
the channel be
ing solo’d; if the pan pot is not in circuit, AFL is mono. SIP mode is also
available, selected from the SOLO MENU page. As well as the master modes, the CDC five
also features ‘momentary’ and ‘latching’ solo operation:
a.
‘Momentary’ Solo
: Press and hold the SOLO button; solo is active while the button is
pressed and cancels when the button is released.
b.
‘Latching’ Solo
: A short press on a SOLO button activates solo mode and the button may
be released. Press again to cancel.
