Channel SEL Button – Track Arming/Edit/Select
The function of the channel SEL button
depends on the mode selected on the centre section RDY, EDIT and SEL keys on
the Master Control Panel.
Record Ready Mode
If RDY is selected all 24 channel SEL buttons become Record Ready buttons.
Pressing a channel SEL button puts the DAW track into Record Ready (provided
that the DAW track has an input routed). The REC tally above the meter flashes
to show that the track is in ready.
Ready All
Track arming can be set or cleared across all channels by using the master RDY
ALL button. This button flashes if any DAW tracks are in Record Ready. Pressing
this switch while it is flashing will clear all track arming.
Record Safe
To put a DAW track into Record Safe (so it cannot be put in to Ready) hold down
ALT and press the channel SEL button. Hold down ALT + OPTION then press any
SEL button to set all tracks to Record Safe.
Edit Mode
With EDIT mode selected the channel SEL button can have a number of functions:
Provided BYPASS is off pressing one of the channel SEL buttons assigns the plug-in editor to that channel.
The EDIT tally on that channel will light to confirm that this is the EDIT channel. See page 5-18 for more details on
the plug-in editor.
A double press on the SEL button will select the first plug-in in that channel for editing. Successive double presses
will select the next plug-in in that channel.
Selecting the BYPASS button on the Master Control Panel changes the channel SEL buttons to BYPASS
buttons. Pressing a channel SEL switch will bypass all plug-ins on that channel. The channel EDIT flag will light to
show that all plug-ins are bypassed.
