Vector Violet Playback and Q-Key functionality
IMPORTANT! This section applies only to Vector Violet and Ultra Violet
consoles.
The Vector Violet and Ultra Violet do not have their own physical Q-
Keys, instead they have a “Q-Key” mode key that can simulate 20 Q-
Keys. This gives the ability to change the functions of the PB Select key
to the Q-Key control key. Once the System is in Q-Key mode you have
have access to 20 PB’s and 20 Q-Keys per page.
The Vector Violet has 2 additional keys:
