6.3 diamond - Source-Specific Functions
The MF keys on each fader strip are programmed by the configuration and are defined per source. They can be used to
customize the functionality of the console. For example, to have PFL on a large or small MF key.
This topic describes the available keys and their most common
functions.
MF Keys
On a standard frame, each fader strip has 8 MF keys:
MF keys 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b are labeled by the display. This makes them suitable for functions that vary depending on the
type of source.
MF keys 3, 4, 5a* and 5b are labeled by foil-printed inserts and so, usually, they are configured for the same function
for all sources. The exception is if the surface supports more than one operating station. In this instance, each frame
can be labeled differently and have access to a different set of sources with different MF key functions.
*MF key 5a is only available if Layer 2 is disabled by the configuration.
If the frame is fitted with a
Rotary Fader Extension
module, then this adds another 4 sets of controls to the fader strip. The
main purpose is to provide localized source parameter control (described later). However, when source parameter control is
switched off, they operate as MF keys 6 to 9.
MF keys 6, 7, 8 and 9 are labeled by the displays, making them suitable for functions that vary depending on the type of
source. Note that, in this mode, the four rotary controls cannot be configured and have no function.
The image below shows the MF key layout.
