Soft buttons
Soft buttons are options available on the touch screen. The soft buttons
are context sensitive.
Touch screen grid
In object mode, the touch screen grid represents the UKs (universal
keys). Objects can be selected by tapping the object number on the touch
screen grid.

The command line is the area where commands, entered using the
console keys or the soft buttons, are displayed.

Wheel tags
Wheel tags are context sensitive. The touch screen area above each
wheel shows the wheel’s use in the current operation. Examples:
• When a spot is selected, the wheels are used to set parameter levels.
• When editing fade times, the wheels are used to set the times for the
various options.
• When editing effects, the wheels are used to set effect attributes.
• Wheel 3 is used for paging the touch screen grid.
