Throughout the top panel of the console, you
will

nd small buttons labeled
View. Press these buttons to immediately switch the console’s large color display
(known as the Main Display) to show information related to the section whose
View button you have just pressed.
For example, if you are editing the equalizer and feel like seeing a large display
of the EQ frequency response curve or corresponding EQ parameter
value,
simply
press the adjacent View button in the EQ section. If you need to check
where the talkback signal is being routed, simply press the View button next to
the Talk button and the main display will show the details.
With the View button approach of the X32 COMPACT console, there is almost
never a need to drill down through multiple menu pages, since the View buttons
will always take you directly to the relevant screen.
Tip: The Setup/Global tab on the main display allows preferences for the behavior
of View and Select buttons to be adjusted.
Customizing the X32 COMPACT through the
Utilities page
Press the Utility button, located to the right of the main display, to bring up
useful functions in a “context-sensitive” manner. For example:

Sometimes there is more to say
Some of the individual pages on the main display contain
more adjustable parameters than can be controlled by
the 6 rotary push encoders located beneath it. In these
cases there is a small page number indication, e.g. “1/2”.
Simply
press the Layer Up/Down buttons to switch
between
layers.
