Function Buttons
The dual engraved function buttons are used for:
·
Parameter Control

LIM
,
DEL
,
EQ
or
INS
to map parameters for the source in
ACCESS onto the four sets of rotary controls (1).
·
Bus Assign
– press
BUS
and then select a page (
1
to
5
) to map bus assignments onto the Fader
Module's small MF Keys.
·
VCA Assign
(optional) – press
BUS
and then select
VCA
1
or
VCA 2
to map VCA assignments onto
the Fader Module's small MF Keys. Note that VCAs must be enabled in the configuration to support this
function.
·
Snapshot Control
– press and hold
SNAP LOAD

Ambient Light Detectors
The two detectors automatically adjust the brightness of buttons and displays according to the ambient light level.
Two detectors are included so that if one is covered by a script, the surface does not dim! The configuration can
disable the sensor or assign an on/off MF Key.
5
MF Keys (1 to 28) & Rotary Controls (VCA 1 & 2)
The 28 MF Keys and two rotary controls are programed by the configuration. In our example, the MF Keys are
programed for monitor source selection and the rotary controls for monitor level. The two displays always show
the name and parameter value related to the rotary control functions (e.g.
SPK
and
DJ HP
).
Depending on the configuration, each rotary control can adjust two parameters: turn to adjust the first (e.g.
monitor level); push down and turn to adjust the second (e.g. monitor balance).
6.4.2
Central Modules (monitor mode)
On a Central Module running in monitor mode, all controls are defined by the configuration.
Each module provides 46 MF Keys and six rotary controls (VCA 1 to 6), following the same MF Key/VCA layout
as on the main Central Module. The displays always show the name and parameter values related to the rotary
control functions.
Depending on the configuration, each rotary control can adjust two parameters: turn to adjust the first; push
down and turn to adjust the second.
Note that the 12 "Function Buttons" are not supported and cannot be programed. Therefore, they will remain
unused.
