Harmony UI  

The  C3500  has  two  screens: the  left  screen  is  dedicated  to  channel processing,  while  the  right  screen 
displays status, system setup, memory management menus and more. The C1500 and C2500 have a single 

screen which incorporates both functions. 

dLive integrates the touchscr

een with a set of ‘wrap

-

around’ 

controls colour-coded for intuitive and quick 

operation. Dedicated areas of the screen display values and status of the corresponding controls; some 

are configurable or user assignable (widget areas). Tapping on any of these areas will open the associated 

tab in the main screen area.

setting which is stored in Scenes.
