The Menu System
Using the Intelli-X
2
After the boot-up is complete, the display shows the
Home Page:
The Home page is the menu “entry level”, and conrms the
names of the currently-loaded project and preset (which will be
those in use when the unit was last powered-down), the model
type, and current digital audio sample rate and wordclock
source. To access the main menus, press the Enter button [8]
(the rotary encoder).
Entry to these menus is displayed in the form of icons, illustrated
below:
Note that not all the options in this menu (and others) are visible
simultaneously. Use the h and i buttons [2] and [3], or the
rotary control [8] to move along the row. In all menus, the item
selected for access is indicated by a highlighted icon. It may be
selected by pressing the Enter button [8].
Pressing the BACK/HOME button [4] at any time will move the
display “back up” the menu one level, and a “long” press will
return the menu directly to the Home page. (The exception to
this is when softkeys have been enabled.
Selecting and adjusting parameters
When a list of items is displayed within a menu or submenu, the
rotary control is used to scroll through the items rapidly. Each
item is highlighted in turn. The highlighted item may be selected
for adjustment by pressing Enter, when a ‘scroll’ symbol will
appear next to the current setting. While this is visible, the rotary
control can be used to select an alternative option, change the
parameter value or tick/untick a checkbox, as the case may be.
Altering numeric values – a shortcut
The range of some parameters is considerable, and the
resolution of adjustment very small, so in some situations,
using the rotary control to enter a high parameter value directly
is quite laborious. A shortcut data entry method allows a much
faster way of entering a known value:
1. Select the parameter to be adjusted so that it is highlighted.
2. Press and hold Enter (>2 sec).
3. This expands the parameter value by inserting leading
zeroes as required, and highlights the rst available digit
position.
4. Use the rotary encoder to select a different digit position, if
required, and press Enter again to select it.
5. The rotary enoder may now be used to alter that digit alone.
Press Enter when the correct integer is showing.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the full value is entered.
7. Scroll to the right hand end of the number string, and press
Enter to complete the adjustment.
Editing text elds
Several menu displays include text elds which may be
renamed by the user. The eld available for editing will be
highlighted. Press the Enter button again to highlight the rst
character of the eld. Press once more to enable character
editing. Note that a ‘scroll’ symbol appears at the end of the
eld. Use the rotary control to alter the highlighted character.
The characters available are:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_ - + . [ ] ( )
Note that the rst character is a blank space. Use this to delete
unwanted characters.
Each character in the eld may be edited in turn, using the ro-
tary control to select the next. When complete, press BACK/
HOME to highlight the entire eld.
Powering up the unit
When the Intelli-X
2
is powered on, the APEX logo is displayed
on the LCD screen while system initialisation and internal
diagnostic checks are being run. All front panel LEDs are tested
as part of these checks. The Boot status page is displayed
briey, conrming the rmware version number.
All unit operations and audio parameters are controlled through
the Intelli-X
2
’s menu system. This section describes the various
menus and submenus in turn.
