Each of the console faders can handle the following functions:
The number of faders available in this grid corresponds to that available on the console (shown here is
the Sy80). The
Grid functions in the same way for any console as long as it supports Sensoft 8.1.
Later on in this manual we will show you how to access and use the configuration grid.
To give you the time to fully understand and master this feature, preset configurations
allow you to quickly set the parameters of your console. Having first inserted the floppy
disk “Examples”, use the
Import function to load these standard configurations.
1.D Spread zones
Let’s take a few moments to consider the concept used by InnovaSON to exploit more physical inputs
and mix busses than there are faders on the console, without having to resort to a system of layers.
As you saw previously, InnovaSON designs consoles dedicated to, among other situations, live
applications. It was therefore important to establish a design that took note of the following points:
A console with a size and weight lower than its analogue counterpart
Retention of the user-friendliness inherent in software previous to Sensoft 8.1
To always have a global view of the general state of the console on the monitor screen
To have to hand the maximum number of controls, for fast and effective user reaction
This last point made InnovaSON decide to implement the X
FAD
function in the development of Sensoft
8.1.
Whether for the management of inputs or the management of busses, the general principle is the
same: a full channel can control a single physical I/O or of a set of physical I/O. In the latter case, the
channel can be compared to a “fader bank”, because every time it is selected, it spreads out all the
channels it controls, in a zone defined by the user.
