The fourth encoders of each band are used to set the
type (peak, notch, shelf, etc. of the band. An EQ band may have various options relating to the type of filter,
and the encoders reflect this:
Module levels and AUX sends
The level is
displayed up to the nominal level, and the nominal
level is marked by the lower indicator lighting with
all indicators up to the nominal position half-lit.
Levels above the nominal are shown by additional
segments above the nominal segment lighting, and
those below the nominal position changing to half-lit
status, as shown in the illustration here.
If the encoders are “flipped”, the position of the
channel faders is represented in the same way as for
aux sends.
Dynamics settings
These are typically “rotary”
settings, with the higher levels lighting more seg-
ments.
One exception to this is the output level from the
compressor/limiter, which lights the center indicator
(and bottom center indicator) at a 0 dB setting (no cut
or boost). Cuts and boots light indicators to the left
and right of the center, respectively.
The FLIP key
The
FLIP
key exchanges the func-
tions of the faders and the encoders, allowing the
touch-sensitive faders to be used for automating tasks
that might otherwise be performed by the encoders.
When this key is pressed, the faders automatically
move to reflect the new values assigned to them.
TIP
When setting up a cue mix on aux sends 1 and 2, for
example, you can use the faders for this, while still
keeping an eye on the main level settings (on the
encoders).
Encoder behavior
Typically, the encoders, as well as the PODs, change
values several steps at a time. To change the resolu-
tion of these controls, so that they change only one
step at a time, press and hold the
SHIFT
key (at the
extreme left of the unit) while turning the encoder.
However, there is an option allowing this behavior to
be changed so that the unshifted behavior makes fine
adjustments while the shifted behavior makes coarse
adjustments.
With the ALT indicator lit, press key 2 ( OPTION ).
Use the cursor keys to move down in the
OPTION
screen to the ENCODER OPERATION item, which allows
you to select either 1Step (fine) or Coarse (multi-step)
as alternatives for the unshifted mode.
Press
ENTER
to select one of these options.
