Pre-Selectors: Control Mode Pre-Selectors determine which controls are selected when a
new Control Mode is activated. Multiple Pre-Selectors may be active at
one time. Any and all combinations are allowed. Pre-Selectors will illumi-
nate when activated.
The following describes the control classifications as defined by the Con-
trol Mode Pre-Selectors:
•
FDR (Fader): The fader of all channel types
•
MUTE
(Mute): The Mute of all channel types
• ENC / KNOB (Encoders): All continuous controller type encoders
(knobs or rotaries). This does not include knobs that control “selec-
tors” such as pan format, or phase inversion (for example).
•
SW / 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 encod-
ers). Refer to
chapter 5.7.3 , Touch Hold.
•
LOCAL, LOCAL EDIT, LOCAL CLR
: Not implemented.
Note: If no Pre-Selectors 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 Pre-Selectors at once.
This key functions as follows:
- If one or more Pre-Selectors are active, then pressing
CLR / ALL
clears all of the Pre-Selectors.
- If no Pre-Selectors are active, then all Pre-Selectors become active.
- Holding
CLR / ALL
and pressing a Control Mode activator will by-
pass the Pre-Selector 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 Pre-Selectors are active, it is not necessary to
manually disengage each of the currently lit selections. Pressing
CLR / ALL
followed by
FDR
, will clear all active Pre-Selectors 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
pre-selectors 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 Pre-Selectors 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.
• Loading a Panel Preset (D950 only) : Control Modes are entered based
upon the options selected on the Panel Presets Options page. See para-
graph <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.
