Input Encoders and Assignment Controls
Each input channel features one assignable input encoder
that can be assigned to control a variety of channel functions
such as input gain, HPF corner frequency, pan/balance/width,
and specific parameters of built-in Dynamics processes.
The Encoder Assignment switches, located to the left of the
row of encoders, determine the function of the encoders on
Input Channels. The LCD displays the current function (see
“Input Channel LCD Display” on page 29).
Rotary and Switch Functionality
D-Show rotary encoders are dual-function controls that pro-
vide rotary and switch functions. In addition to adjusting pa-
rameters by turning the encoder, you can toggle parameters
(such as taking the high-pass filter in or out of circuit) by
pressing the encoder knob.
Encoder LEDs
Two types of LEDs surround each encoder:
◆
The LED ring around the encoder displays the relative posi-
tion of its currently assigned parameter.
◆
Below each encoder is an indicator LED, which indicates pa-
rameter status (in/out), default setting, or other conditions re-
lated to the current encoder function.
Switches in the Encoder section assign each of the following
parameters to the Input encoders:
Gain
Gain assigns the encoders to control input gain according to
the range available for this input (head amp gain for analog
inputs, digital gain for digital or line inputs). Pressing and
holding the encoder initiates Gain Guess, in which D-Show
automatically sets a nominal input gain level based on the in-
coming signal.
Pan
Pan assigns the encoders to control channel Pan if the chan-
nel is mono, or stereo channel balance if a stereo. The indica-
tor LED lights when the pan is at center.
Comp Thrsh
Comp Thrsh assigns the encoders to control the Threshold for
the built-in Compressor/Limiter. Pressing the encoder toggles
the effect in and out of circuit. If the LED is lit the effect is in
circuit.
Gate Thrsh
Gate Thrsh assigns the encoders to control the Threshold for
the built-in Expander/Gate. Pressing the encoder toggles the
effect in and out of circuit. If the LED is lit the effect is in cir-
cuit.
HPF
HPF assigns the encoders to control the HPF corner frequency.
Pressing the encoder toggles the built-in HPF in and out of cir-
cuit. If the LED is lit, the filter is in circuit.
Delay
The Delay switch assigns the encoders to control the amount
of delay in the channel. Pressing the encoder toggles the De-
lay in and out of circuit. If the LED is lit, the delay is in circuit.
Send 1–2 to Send 15–16
These switches let you select one of two Aux sends in
odd/even pairs (Send 1–2 through Send 15–16) or Variable
Group sends in odd/even pairs (Send 1–2 through Send 7–8
only).
◆ With mono sends, the first press of the switch selects the
odd numbered send (1, 3, 5, or 7) and the second press selects
the even numbered send (2, 4, 6, or 8). The switch lights green
for the odd-numbered selection, or yellow for the even-num-
bered selection.
◆ With stereo-linked sends, the first press of the switch con-
trols level for the bus pair, and the second press controls pan
for the bus pair. The switch lights green for level control, or
yellow for pan control.
Pressing an encoder toggles the send on or off. When the send
level is shown on the LED ring and the send is off, a single LED
lights. When the send is on, all LEDs light in a clockwise se-
quence from the lower left to the send level.
