Oval Keys The oval keys in the FUNCTION area ( INPUT , DEES , EQ , DYN , 1-4 , ASN )
are dedicated to assign functions to the encoders and their keys in the fader
strips. The function of the key depends on the selected parameter and can
be, e.g., On/Off or Enter.
When pressing, e.g. the oval EQ key, it is illuminated in red. If selecting now
one of the channels by pressing its SEL key, the light bars at the bottom of
the channel OLED displays are illuminated in red as well. This is called local
view mode (nicknamed ‘Mini Vistonics’).
Only the selected channel’s label is displayed, and its SEL key is illuminated
now. All other channel labels are blanked. The parameters of this particular
channel are displayed on the OLED displays and can be adjusted with the
corresponding rotary encoders. The different parameters can be switched on
or off using the corresponding keys. Inactive parameters are indicated by
greying them out. If a complete parameter set such as the EQ section can also
be switched on/off as a whole, always the key at the far right is used for
this purpose.
If a function has more than six parameters – such the EQ or DYN – pressing
its oval key successively toggles through all available parameter ‘pages’. This
whole process is very intuitive, just have a go with it!
For more details refer to chapter 5.3.2 .
4.2.2 mAsTER Controls
There is one master rotary control in this section for setting the N–X 1-4 bus
send levels (or AUX send levels, if configured). Its function can be assigned
to the desired bus with the
1
-
4
keys. The send level of the currently selected
bus is displayed by the LED ring around the rotary control; if the user has
no access to send levels the red LED at the bottom of the ring is on. In addi-
tion, the currently selected bus can be switched on/off with the
ON
key and
switched to mono with the MONO key; these keys are illuminated if active.
The PGM and REC bus send levels can be set on the GUI’s Sum - Master
page (refer to chapter 5.12.3.1 ), or with a dedicated fader if configured.
4.2.3 mOniTORing and Talkback Controls
The monitoring section primarily controls the control room (CR) and studio
monitoring. Two rotary controls with LED rings by default set and indicate
the volumes of the DJ headphones and the CR monitor loudspeakers.
CR/ST Shifts the whole monitoring section to control the studio monitoring, if illu-
minated; all functions indicated are now displaying the studio settings.
By pressing the momentary keys below the rotary controls, their functions
are modified to control:
SP The volume of the built-in PFL speaker
TB RET
The volume of the talkback return signal
GUEST HP The volume of the guest headphones.
HP SPLIT Activates split mode for the DJ headphones and the CR monitor loudspeakers
(configurable). On the DJ headphones the left ear listens to mono PFL, and
the right ear follows the mono monitoring source if HP Split is active.
6.3 mm TRS jack sockets for the DJ and Guest headphones as well as line
outputs dedicated to CR and studio monitoring are available on the core.
CUT Cuts (mutes) the monitor loudspeakers if pressed, or indicates a cut event if
illuminated.
