SEL If one of the oval function keys in the central section is active, the ‘Mini Vis-
tonics’ view for parameter editing is activated for this channel upon pressing
this key.
Assignment Display At the left of the
REC
and
SEL
keys an indicator field with a red overload LED,
six yellow LEDs for channel-to-bus assignment indication (for
PGM
,
REC
,
and N–1
1-4
busses) and a blue channel-active LED. A channel is considered
as ‘active’ if it is switched ON, its fader is open, this channel is assigned to
an master bus, and the master control is open.
Fader Since the audio path is fully digital, the signal does not pass through the
faders; linear-track mono faders with a stroke length of 100 mm are used.
When opening the fader, fader start or signaling commands can be released,
depending on the configuration.
Rotary A rotary encoder and its key are available in every fader strip. The function
of these elements can be assigned with the FUNCTION keys in the central sec-
tion. If the rotary knob in the fader strip is touched, the channel label display
shows the corresponding value, depending on the selected function. Several
functions are selectable, such as input routing, input gain, balance, N–X level,
etc. The adjacent key can be, e.g., ‘Enter’ or ‘On’/’Off’, depending on the
selected function.
OLED Display, Global View Mode The OLED display in the channel strip normally is in global view mode; i.e.
it displays what is selected either with the four FUNCTION keys or the
34
rotary knob in the central section. If a logical input is assigned to the chan-
nel strip, it indicates the channel label, a second label (blank except in I/O
sharing mode or during input routing), level and gain reduction bar graphs,
the rotary graph as well as the function currently assigned to the rotary knob
(‘rotary parameter’).
As long as the rotary knob is touched, the channel label displays the current
parameter value.
There is a function called ‘screen saver’ available for the OLED displays. It
automatically reduces the display’s brightness after a configurable period of
time. The original brightness is restored as soon as a desk key is operated or a
touch-sensitive knob is touched. Using this function is strongly recommended
in order to increase the lifetime of the OLED channel displays .

The 8-digit channel label area normally indicates the (local or remote) channel
label if a logical input is assigned to the channel strip. As long as its rotary
knob is touched, the display shows the current parameter value, depending
on the selected function.
