3. Control Panel Orientation
Control Panel Descriptions
Following are descriptions of each button in the
Next Transition Group
:
~
Enable
BG
to “arm” the background layer for a transition.
•
When
BG
is enabled, the selected
PST
source appears in the
bank’s preview monitor output.
•
When
BG
is not enabled, the selected
BG
source appears in
the bank’s preview monitor output.
When the transition is performed, the
PST
source flips to
BG
.
If
BG
is off and
DSK
is on, the current BG source is held during the next
transition — even if a different source is selected on
PST
.
~
Enable
DSK
to “arm” a transition to or from the
DSK
layer, using the
source selected on the
Phantom Key Bus
. The red LED above the
button lights when the DSK is on.
•
If the
DSK
is currently
off
and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key on. The key source appears in the bank’s preview
output.
•
If
the
DSK
is currently
on
and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key off. Here, even though the key is on, the key is
removed from preview — showing the bank’s
next
look.
•
Press and hold
DSK
to display the
Key Menu
, with the DSK
highlighted.
If
DSK
is off and
BG
is on, the key will not transition. If the key is
currently
off
, it stays off. If the key is currently
on
, it holds.
The following rules apply to both buttons in the
Next Transition Group
:
~
As you enable or disable buttons in the group, the selected layer appears
(or is removed) on the bank’s Preview output.
~
At the end of a transition (either manual or automatic), all buttons that
you enabled in the group remain on. This allows you to transition back to
the previous configuration.
~
Both buttons work in combination with the bank’s
MIX
,
WIPE
,
CUT
,
AUTO TRAN
button and the
T-Bar
. For example:
S
If you enable
BG
and
MIX
, and then press
AUTO TRAN
, the
transition automatically mixes to the selected source.
S
If you enable
DSK
,
BG
and
WIPE
, and then move the
T-Bar
, the
transition manually wipes to the selected source plus DSK.
S
If you enable
DSK
and then press
CUT
, the transition cuts the key
on or off.

” section on page 143 for details.
