Which DSP channel is shown where is defined in the ‘strip setup’ dialog in
the Graphical Controller (refer to
chapter 4.4.7 ).
Desk Navigation Example Let’s assume a desk with 30 faders (between 20 and 70 possible in steps of
10). Since the desk can jump to six sections, this user can operate up to 6 × 30
DSP channels.
Please note that it is possible to have the same DSP channel
visible in multiple places within the six sections.
Step 1 The user defines the order of the 180 DSP channels in the strip setup dialog
box in the GC. There he will find six empty sections with 30 placeholders,
each for a channel assignment.
The definition will most likely be made in such a way that the user starts with
a new section when he starts with new channel type (as shown below).

Step 2 The user can now navigate through the ‘virtual surface’ (6 sections wide) in
two ways: Either he jumps to a specific section by pressing the corresponding
key in the control bay, or he scrolls from the present position to the destination
by pressing one of the arrow keys (< and >) in any of the bays. Pressing one
of these arrow keys will virtually move the physical surface in front of the
total console (6 sections) by one bay (10 faders) at a time in the corresponding
direction (like moving a chair in front of a huge console).

The arrow keys are located in every bay, and they all have the same function-
ality. This prevents the user from having to move to the center of the console
for navigation.
Locking a Bay It is possible to prevent one or more bays from scrolling by switching the
ScroLL: LocK BAY
key on the corresponding bay ON. This will make that
bay isolated from the remaining sections. It doesn’t only lock from scroll-
ing, but also all global view changes on the surface will not influence locked
bays. However, it is possible to change views on a locked bay by operating its
gLoBAL vIEW
keys. These will now only influence the locked bay. A locked
bay is strictly isolated from view changes and will operate independently.
Please note that it is also possible to scroll a locked bay independently by
using the arrow keys on that specific bay.
It is possible as well to lock multiple bays at a time by pressing and holding
the first

key and pressing a second
