4.4.2.4 Making and Clearing the Cross-Points
The creation and updating of cross-points is simple. First, select the Source
and Target; the Selection Bars have to be crossed to form an X-Y pair.
There are two ways of making or breaking a cross-point connection:
• By double-clicking the left trackball button, while the cursor is positioned
over the crossed Selection Bars, or
• By using the function keys on the control surface keyboard;
Vista: D950:
Using the
MAKE CONN
(make connection) function key will always make a
default connection, depending on the Source- and Target-type combin-
ation. Using the
CLEAR CONN
(clear connection) function key will always
clear any cross-point connection. (This is the fastest method to make or
clear a connection.)
Double-clicking the left track ball button: This method is more sophisti-
cated, because it allows you to select from a
number of connection options
displayed in a pop-up menu box. The menu display depends upon the
combination of Source (mono or stereo) and Target (mono or stereo). The
uppermost connection type in the menu is the default connection type,
which is applied if you use the function keys, as shown above.
