Knobs
Each fader strip has one touch-sensitive knob along with two knob switches (
SEL
and
ON
), shown in the figure.
1
Each fader strip has one touch-sensitive, continuously rotating knob that adjusts parameters such as pan and aux send levels.
Each knob can also be pressed from the top. This is called the Knob Top key and is typically used to access sub-menus but also to
turn parameters on and off.
2
The SEL key changes the knob function or toggles a secondary function’s value, such as an aux send pre/post fader.
3
The ON key toggles two-state parameters, such as EQ Band 1 on/off.
Basic Knob Use
When the MC Mix is first powered on, the knobs are in normal mode (see Knob Modes on page 34). Each knob controls the pan
parameter for its track on the strip.
The knob selector keys can quickly access common parameters in normal mode:
• Press
AUX
to assign each track’s first aux send to each knob. Press
PAGE>
to assign the next aux send to the knob. Pressing
<PAGE
returns to the previous aux send.
• Press PAN to assign the track’s pan control to each knob.
It is also possible to edit plug-ins, EQ, dynamics, and other functions on the knobs.
Knob Modes
The eight knobs can be in normal or channel modes.
Normal Mode
Each knob controls the same parameter for every track on the strips.
Channel Mode
Channel mode is useful for editing EQs and plug-ins that have many parameters. The eight knobs control up to eight different
parameters on a single focussed track. Press a fader
SEL
key to focus that track. Channel mode is denoted in the display by a grid
of small yellow dots around each parameter name and knob position indicator. The focussed track is further distinguished by
these dots around its entire area including the track name.
