Expert Panel : Expert Panel Overview
The size of the 'window' of faders selected around your finger, is determined by the number of physical
strips, or Slots, your console has, minus the number of strips currently in Hold (see page) Thus a 16 fader
console with 6 faders in hold, will display a 'window' 10 segments wide.
A slot with its
Hold
button on will not have its channel updated by this process.
A Slot whose fader is currently being touched will have a channel assigned to it as if it were a normal 'un-
held' channel, but this slot will not be re-assigned until it's fader is released.
When the 'window' consists of an even number of ARC™ Segments, the centre point of the window around
your finger will be the left member of the middle pair of Segments. For example, if the window is 10 Seg-
ments wide, there will be the four strips to the left of your finger, and five to the right, with the fifth window
being the one your finger is on.
A further example:
In a 16 fader console, with slots 4,7,9 and 13 held (with their corresponding channel numbers) touching the
ARC™ in chair mode at Segment 35 would result in a window 12 Segments wide and will load channels
into slots resulting in the following order of channels: 30,31,32,4,33,34,7,35,9,36,37,38,13,39,40,41.
Note:
When you touch segments near either end of the ARC
™
the 'window' does not slide
off the end but rather remains at full width and ceases moving.
Wipe Mode
Wipe mode allows the selection of non-sequential arrangements of channels. Here, touching the ARC
Segments (in any order) on the ARC Selector Strip fills in individual channels sequentially from the left most
available physical channel through to the right most. The process starts again, and the left most available
physical channel slot is again filled, when the Timmometer decays.
Chair button indicator
The
Chair
button indicator is lit when the console is in
Chair mode
. When the console is in
Wipe mode
,
the indicator is extinguished.
Please note
that this button is inactive without the ARC option
7 Undo button

Undo
.
Redo button indicator
The
Redo
button indicator is lit only whenever there is a
Redo

9 Touch button
Some physical controls on the Ramses Console are not touch-sensitive. The
touch
button allows you to
use these controls in
touch automation modes
as if they were touch-sensitive.
If, under touch automation mode, a non touch-sensitive parameter is altered, it will send a touch message
to the engine, triggering the engines usual response to a control that has been 'touched'. Now the
