6.5.7 The All Button
The all button can be used in a variety of situations. It does (as the name suggests) apply the current
function to all channels. Pressing the all button by itself will not do anything. To use it you must be in a
mode where touching a MonARC channel will have an effect. It is the same as running you finger
across the MonARC from the first channel to the last. There are an innumerable number of cases where
the all button can be used. Here are a couple of examples.
Example 1: To clear all the elements in a group, enter group mode and select a group (described above)
and then press the –group button, then press the all button. This will remove all channels from the
current group.
Example 2: To set all faders to unity. Press and hold the unity MonARC modifier (see below) and then
press the all button. This will instantly set all to channels to unity gain.
6.6 MonARC Modifiers
The MonARC modifiers allow you to change any channel’s settings without having that channel
physically present in front of you in a slot. They modify what happens when you touch the MonARC
channels or inject touch points. Not all of the MonARC modifiers are currently implemented and the
automation modifiers vary depending on the DAW.
6.6.1 Positive Assertion
Using the modifier to mute or solo channels uses what we call positive assertion. When you press and
hold the modifier button, the console will read the first change of state that is performed when touching
the MonARC channel. This change of state is then applied to all other MonARC channels touched
while still holding the modifier down.
For example, if the first channel you touch un-mutes the channel, wiping your finger along the
MonARC will now only un-mute channels, and vice versa, i.e. the channels do not have their mutes
toggled. Thus un-muting a selection of channels involves one wipe over them rather than several
discreet moves to toggle them from their current state.
6.6.2 Programming
MonARC modifiers can be assigned to any programmable key. They are listed under Console
commands in Programmable Keys config panel. Read the Edit Panel chapter to learn more about this
feature.
6.6.3 mute
The mute modifier allows any channel to be muted or un-muted. Hold down the mute button and touch
any MonARC channel. Muting and un-muting using the MonARC modifiers uses “positive assertion”
described above.
6.6.4 solo
The solo modifier allows any channel to be soloed or un-soloed. Hold down the solo button and touch
any MonARC channel Soloing and un-soloing using the MonARC modifiers uses “positive assertion”
described above.
6.6.5 unity
The unity modifier will set any fader to unity gain. Hold down the unity button and touch any
MonARC channel or inject touch point. When the unity modifier is held down, the UPO indicators
show which (if any) channel faders are currently at unity gain.
