Master Section
9. V-POT ASSIGN
These six buttons are used to assign different
functions to the V-Pots. These usually include Pan,
Aux Send, EQ, Plug-In Effects, and Track level.
10. BANKS and CHANNELS
Pressing the left or right BANK button jumps
over to the next adjacent eight channels on either
the left or right side of the current location.
If one or more MCU XT Pros are present, the
BANK buttons may jump over by 8 times the
number of devices present. For example, if two
MCU XT Pros are present in addition to the MCU
Pro
, the BANK buttons may jump 8 x 3 or
24 channels at a time.
Pressing the left or right CHANNEL button
jumps over to the next adjacent channel on either
the left or right side of the current location.
11. FUNCTION SELECT
The function of these buttons vary depending on
the DAW application being utilized. Place the
overlay for the DAW application over this section
to provide the correct labeling for these buttons,
and refer to the documentation for the DAW
application that describes how it operates with
MCU Pro.
12. TRANSPORT
These standard transport control buttons are
fairly universal in their operation: Rewind, Fast
Forward, Stop, Play, and Record.
13. JOG / SHUTTLE WHEEL
Use the button to toggle between Jog and
Shuttle functions for the large wheel. Use the
wheel for editing audio in the DAW application.
14. ZOOM AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS
These four arrow buttons and the zoom button
are used to navigate around the graphic editor in
the DAW application.
15. TIME DISPLAY
This display shows the time location of the
project in either SMPTE or BBT (bar.beat.ticks)
format.
