Preselecto­rs Control Mode preselectors determine which controls are selected when a
new Control Mode is activated. Multiple preselectors may be active at a time.
Any and all combinations are allowed. Preselectors will illuminate when
activated.
The following describes the control classifications as defined by the Control
Mode preselectors:
•
FDR REC
(Fader): The fader of all channel types
•
MUTE
(Mute): The Mute of all channel types
•
KNOB
(Encoders): All continuous controller type encoders (knobs or
rotaries). This does not include knobs that control ‘selectors’ such as pan
format, or phase inversion (for example).
•
SWIT
(Switches): All switches (keys) and selectors (keys and knobs)
•
HELD
(Held Controls): All controls that are currently in a ‘Held’ status
(this could be any combination of faders, mutes, switches, and encoders);
refer to
chapter 5.7.3 , Touch Hold.

LOCAL CLR
: Not implemented.
No­te If no preselectors are active, then no controls will be put into the mode of the
pressed Mode Activator.
Clear/All •
CLR / ALL
: Permits the changing of all of the preselectors at once. This
key functions as follows:
- If one or more preselectors are active, then pressing
CLR / ALL
clears
all of the preselectors.
- If no preselectors are active, then all preselectors become active.
- Holding
CLR / ALL
and pressing a Control Mode activator will bypass
the preselector and select all controls.
This is very handy as follows. If the user wants to set only the fader to a
Control Mode and some preselectors are active, it is not necessary to manually
disengage each of the currently lit selections. Pressing
CLR / ALL
followed
by
FDR REC
, will clear all active preselectors and then select fader. This will
save several key strokes and improve efficiency.
Ano­ther Sho­rtcut If the user wishes to set all of the controls into a specific Control Mode the
following method may be used. Rather than pressing
CLR / ALL
until all the
preselectors are active, just hold down
CLR / ALL
and press the Global Mode
Activator for the desired Control Mode. All control types will be set into that
mode and the preselectors will remain in the state that they were.
Other Co­ntro­l Mo­de Entries
Control Modes may entered as part of other automation operations. These
operations are as follows:
• Turning Automation on for the First Time: Control Modes are entered
based upon the options selected on the Panel Presets Options page. See
Options below.
• Setting the Mix Status to on: Control Modes are entered based upon the
options selected on the Control Mode Options page. See Options below.
• Recalling a Scene: Controls that have been stored within the Scene Buffer
are set to WRITE ENABLE and come back in a Held state. The stored
values are also reset upon recall.
• Engaging
READ LOCK
: All controls are placed in READ mode. All mode
changes are locked out, AUDITION mode is defeated, and only written
values will be heard.
