PM5D / PM5D-RH Quick Start Guide Part 3

The SEL channel windows;
Main and Additional
In the PM5DV2 Editor there are two SEL channel win-
dows; Main View and Additional View. Both views ap-
pear the same, and both can be on screen at the same time,
they differ in how their displayed channel is selected.
Note also the main view can access the libraries from
buttons within the window, but these are greyed out in the
additional view.
The selection of the Main View is by the [SEL] buttons,
but the Additional View selection is either by using the
arrows to increment and decrement the channel or by
clicking on the [Select] bar to produce a drop down box
of all the channels to choose from.
For now it doesn’t matter which SEL channel you use, the
Main View is probably a little easier, and it has the library
short-cuts, but later when connected on-line to the console
you may want to decide if you need the Studio Manager to
show the same SEL channel as the console or a different
SEL channel.
Dragging a rotary knob.
To set the value of a rotary knob click on the knob and
drag it round. The knob will reach an end stop just like
an analogue knob. For greater accuracy you can click on
the knob, drag the pointer out along the radius of a circle
and then turn the knob as if it was a giant knob with this
radius. This can be especially useful when using tablet
control. Alternatively, type a value into the text box
above the knob.
Drag out,
then turn
Channel copy and paste
The SEL channel can easily be copied and pasted to a
newly selected channel. Use the Edit menu or the familiar
short cut of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in windows (
a
+C and
a
+V in Mac).
