MASTER BYPASS Switch
The MASTER BYPASS switch has two functions,
depending on the current state of the IN-
SERTS/PARAM switch/mode:
• When in INSERTS mode, the MASTER BYPASS
switch acts as a master bypass for all plug-ins
on the channel. When this occurs, the MAS-
TER BYPASS switch LED lights solid.
• When the INSERTS/PARAM switch is set to
PARAM mode, the MASTER BYPASS switch
acts as a master bypass for the plug-in cur-
rently being edited. When this occurs, the
MASTER BYPASS switch LED lights solid.
When the MASTER BYPASS switch is not lit, this
default state indicates that neither bypass mode
is engaged.
The COMPARE switch lights when a saved plug-
in preset has been changed but not saved. As in
Pro Tools on-screen, the Compare function is a
quick and easy method for toggling between
new settings and a saved preset.
Assigning a Plug-In
To assign a plug-in:
1
Press the INSERTS switch on the channel to
which you want to assign a plug-in. The abbre-
viated names of the five inserts for that channel
appear horizontally across the channel scribble
strips and the channel name appears in the
channel bar display.
2
Press the master ASSIGN switch, located in the
ASSIGN section of the CHANNEL BAR. The
switch LED will flash, indicating that ASSIGN
mode is now active.
3
Adjust the channel’s encoder knob to scroll
through the available plug-ins. Only one plug-
in can be assigned at a time.
4
Press the flashing encoder switch to confirm
the current choice displayed in the scribble
strip. The abbreviated name of the plug-in will
be displayed (flashing) in the scribble strips.
5
The master ASSIGN switch will continue to
flash, indicating that ASSIGN mode is still active
and that you can select plug-ins for the other in-
sert positions.
6
Press the master ASSIGN switch to confirm the
last choice made and exit the assign mode en-
tirely.
Double-pressing the flashing encoder switch af-
ter selecting a plug-in will confirm the current
choice and bring up the plug-in’s editable pa-
rameters to the channel scribble strips. The IN-
SERTS/PARAM switch LED will light solid, indi-
cating that you are in PARAM mode.
You can exit Assignment mode before commit-
ting to a plug-in choice by pressing the flashing
ESC/CANCEL switch. The flashing encoder
switch and the master ASSIGN switch LED’s be-
come unlit and Control|24 will return to its pre-
vious state.
In Inserts mode, the MASTER BYPASS
switch LED will flash when plug-ins are in
a “mixed” state, in which there are both ac-
tive
and bypassed plug-ins on a channel.
