Front Panel Controls
The front panel controls vary depending on the modules fitted to the console. The images below show three examples.
In each case, the controls are divided into the following areas:
1. Virtual Extension (optional)
- visual feedback and touch-screen operation. The functionality is defined by the
configuration.
2. Fader Strips
- dedicated mixing controls for each channel. Some of the functionality is fixed and some is configurable. If
a Rotary Extension module is included, then this provides four extra rotary controls per fader.
3. Key Extension (optional)
- additional MF keys for central functions. The functionality is defined by the configuration.
4. Ambient Light Detectors
- automatic adjustment of the surface brightness. This function can be disabled by the
configuration.
5. Central Rotary Controls
-
four sets
of rotary controls that are dual-purpose:
When all Function Keys (6) are off, the controls are configurable. The functionality is defined by the configuration.
When a Function Key (6) is selected, the controls update to adjust the selected function. For example, press
Input
to
adjust the input parameters for the channel in access. In this mode, the functionality is system-defined, and the controls
work in the same way regardless of the configuration.
6. Central Function Keys
- 16 control keys for central functions. These functions are system-defined and include source
parameter control, layer switching, bus/insert/VCA assign, setup options and snapshot save/
load.
7. Central MF Keys & Rotary Controls
- configurable MF keys and large rotary controls. The functionality is defined by the
configuration.
To use an external keyboard for naming operations, such as editing user labels, connect the keyboard to the host
PC (running the Lawo GUI application VisTool).
