Pop-ups are closed by pressing the box in the top right-hand corner of the pop-up, marked CLOSE or CANCEL (or by pressing
CAN on keypad pop-ups).
To the right of the Centre Panel is a single encoder marked Touch-Turn (shown below). This is used to access any rotary controls
within the Master Screen. To assign the Touch-Turn encoder to a particular on-screen pot, touch the pot to be assigned. You will
notice that a coloured ring appears around the on-screen pot, indicating that it is assigned to the Touch-Turn encoder. The colour
of this ring is unique to that control, and is also reflected in the base of the Touch-Turn encoder, providing further indication of
which pot is currently assigned to it.
The Master Screen button in the centre section switches the centre screen view from the Master Screen to the bank of
channels which are selected in the lower centre section.
Note: When the centre screen is assigned to show channels, there are no associated rotaries and switches to
control mix parameters such as EQ and Dynamics. Any controls that only involve the touch screen such as routing
functions can be performed in the normal way.
1.3.4 The Assigned Channel .........................................................
One of the channels in the Channel Strip panel is displayed in gold, indicating that it is currently the Assigned Channel. This means
that it has been assigned to the worksurface controls and can be configured in detail, as described below. To Assign a channel,
touch anywhere in the channel on the screen (except the Aux Send area).
Alternatively, use the ch left and right buttons at the bottom of the channel worksurface controls to scroll through the channels in
the panel:
Note that these left and right arrows are duplicated in the channel Setup and Output displays.
Note also that the Channel List display provides another method for assigning a channel to the worksurface
controls.
Once a channel is Assigned, all of the controls for that channel which are not displayed within the channel strip itself can be
accessed via secondary pop-ups, displayed by touching inside the relevant area of the channel. These pop-ups include controls
such as input and output routing and signal processing parameters.
A number of the physical rotary encoders on the control surface can be assigned to different on-screen pots. In order to ensure
that it is clear which function is assigned to which encoder, the assigned on-screen pot will have a coloured ring around it which
will be reflected in the colour of the light around the base of the encoder on the control surface.
