Vistonics

allows color and shape of controls to be varied according to good
ergonomic practice. A given audio function is always associated with the same
color, and a parameter is always associated with the same icon displaying
values graphically – just as or even more intuitive than an analog console.
Vistonics
™ makes it possible to bring the location where you can see a value to
exactly the place where you control it. Therefore, tiring translation processes
between looking at a screen and finding the corresponding hardware control
somewhere else are not existing anymore, saving just a little time and energy
a few hundred times a day!

Great attention has been paid in order to make the current association clearly
visible. Color coding has been used to indicate families of audio functions
such as EQ, dynamics, etc. Consistent icons make the physical meaning of
an audio function obvious – e.g. bar graph-like icons indicate levels, time
adjustments are indicated by clock dials, etc. This way, it is easy to identify
the currently associated function even from a distance.
The Vistonics
™
module consists of two main parts: 40 rotary controls with
push buttons next to each of them, as well as a touch screen area, showing
graphically the most important settings of each channel: Dynamics, EQ and
panning information. It is possible to change the association of a rotary con-
trol to audio functions either globally or locally.
