4.4.4 Selecting a Module
In order for the Master Section to control an Input module, the module must be
Selected
. Selecting an Input module “attaches” it to the Master Section which then
becomes the module’s control surface. While a module is Selected, any changes made
to the Master Section will immediately affect the module, while any changes made on the
module will immediately be reflected on the Master Section.
An Input module is selected by pressing its numbered
Select
button. If the
One
button
is lit, pressing an Input module’s
Select
button selects that module and deselects any
previously selected modules. If the
Many
button is lit, pressing a
Select
button selects
or deselects the module, allowing multiple modules to be selected at one time.
Modules are also selected using the Selection buttons described later in this section.
Module selections can be cleared at any time by pressing the
Copy To Master
,
Copy
To Module
, or
Set Transparent
buttons in the Master Section.
4.4.5 Edit Buttons
The Edit Buttons are used to edit and copy switch states between the Master Section
and the Input modules. The following is a brief explanation of each of the Edit buttons,
examples of their use are given later in this section.
The Edit Buttons include:
• Copy To Master
• Copy To Module
• Module Undo
• Swap Last State
• Set Transparent
■
Copy To Master
When
Copy To Master
is lit and the
Select
button on an Input module is pressed, the
module becomes logically “attached” to the Master Section and its switch states are
displayed. While the Input module is attached, any changes made to the Master Section
will be immediately enacted upon the Input module and vice-versa. Single or multiple
Input modules may be attached by pressing
One
or
Many
before selecting Input
modules.
Copy To Master is the default edit mode of the console. Pressing
Copy To Master
clears all Input module selections and retains the current switch states of the Master
Section.
■
Copy To Module
When
Copy To Module
is lit, the switch states that appear on the Master Section will be
copied to any Input module selected. Single or multiple Input modules may be copied by
pressing
One
or
Many
before selecting Input modules.The copy function may be
performed on cue (delayed) to a number of modules by holding
Copy To Module
and
pressing
Many
. While
Copy To Module
and
Many
are flashing, select the desired Input
modules, then press
Copy To Module
to execute the copy.
■
Module Undo
Pressing
Module Undo
reverts each Selected module to its state at the time it was
selected for editing. Pressing
One
or
Many
(whichever is lit) while making changes
updates the module’s Undo state to the current state of the Master Section. When
Module Undo
is lit, changes have been made that may be undone.
■
Swap Last State
Pressing
Swap Last State
while Input modules are selected exchanges a Selected
module’s current state with its previous state. When
Swap Last State
is lit, the selected
Input modules are in their previous state.
