FX
Access the FX rack. Provides 8 virtual ‘rack positions’ for
loading your choice of processing from a library of effects devices
including reverbs, delays, modulators and more. A Front Panel view
presents a familiar control interface for parameter data entry. A Rear
Panel view lets you ‘patch’ the device into the signal path either as a
‘mix>return’ or ‘insert’. Choose the input to the device from a mix or
direct output, and its output to an FX (short) return or full channel.
SCENES
Access the Scene memories for storing and recalling all
or selected processing, mix and setup parameters. Scenes can be
named, copied and edited. These are typically used for theatre show
cues, multiple band music festival recall, event changes and so on.
Console parameters may be added to a Scene, or the existing
contents updated with the current console settings. The Reorder
Mode screen allows single or multiple Scene moving, copying or
removing from the list.
NAME&COLOUR
Enters a setup mode to use the strip
SEL
keys to choose the input, mix and DCA master colours and enter 5
character names for each. Choose from a swatch of 6 colours plus
off (no colour) for a single or range of channels. The colour is
displayed as a backlight on each of the Surface strip LCDs. You can
also store up to 48 custom names in a ‘Quick Menu’ for instant recall
of commonly used names. Note that name and colour may also be
set individually for the inputs and mixes using their normal
PREAMP
and
EXT IN
processing views.
MIXRACK SETUP
View and configure the MixRack architecture.
Configure the 32 mix buses from a choice of mono/stereo Group,
Aux, Main and Matrix mix types. Choose from a list of main mix types
such as none, M, LR, LCR, LR+Sub and more. Other pages let you
configure the digital audio networks, Direct Out source, Talkback
source, channel ganging setup, PEQ 20-20kHz frequency range
option, access to the onboard signal generator and PL devices setup.
SURFACE SETUP
Enters a setup mode to use the strip
SEL
keys to assign the Surface strips as input channels, mix masters, DCA
masters and more in any combination. You can assign single strips
or a range of strips within a fader bank. Other pages let you
configure the SoftKey functions, PL device functions, the ALT VIEW
key, and Surface preferences.
UTILITY
This screen provides access to the system setup,
configuration and diagnostic functions. Manage the Show and
Library memories and User Profiles here. Factory default ‘Template’
Show memories let you load from a choice of standard configuration
to give you a quick starting point with classic console architecture
and layout. Save your customised configurations as User Shows.
You can access the USB port for file transfer and archiving as well as
updating the system with the latest firmware available from the Allen &
Heath web site. This screen also provides access to many additional
facilities including TCP/IP network setup, system event logs and
diagnostics, changing user, locking the surface, reading the onboard
Help manual and powering down the TouchScreen before switching
the system off.
