20
function/stereo pair are then further grouped into a box that contains
selection buttons, a slider, and other controls and displays as determined by
the function.
The File Menu
At the top left of the Console window you will find the
File
menu. By
selecting the File menu, several configuration options become available to
you. The first menu option is “
New Console”
. The
New Console
option
allows you to create an additional iteration of the console program. In this
way, multiple devices (Laylas, Ginas or Darlas) may be controlled using
their own dedicated console.
The second option under the File menu is “
Exit”
which closes the current
instance of the console.
The Edit Menu
The
“Appearance”
option, first on the Edit menu, lets you customize the
look of your console. You can change the color of each of the console
elements, change the fonts used, or choose to abbreviate labels. You may
even want to produce multiple color schemes to help recognize the device
that is being controlled. A number of preset color schemes are included.
The second option on the Edit menu is
“Input Levels.”
This option is not
available on the Gina card.
The third option under the Edit menu is “
Mixer Device.”
The
Mixer Device
option lets you choose the device that the current iteration of the Console
program controls. So, if you have more than one device (Layla, Gina or
Darla) attached to your system, you can use the same console to control
them all using the
Mixer Device
option to control which device is currently
selected.
