The Channels Tab
T
he
70==4;A
t
ab is the third tab from the left in the Matrix Remote. In this tab you can label the analogue channels on the Matrix
control surface. Once again, this data is specific to the currently loaded Title. The main part of the window consists of a
representation of a scribble strip:
To insert a channel name, simply click the scribble strip on the channel you wish to name, delete the current text and type the
new name in. As you type, the name will appear in the Remote scribble strip, as well as in the digital scribble strip on the Matrix
control surface located above the V-Pots. Once you have finished typing, your channel names are saved automatically.
Channel names can be a maximum of six characters long.
When in DAW Focus mode, the channel names will be generated by the names of the DAW tracks they are controlling.
However, when a CC layer is active, the CC numbers can be labelled in the scribble strip, as described on Page 106.
See Page 74 for an explanation of Focus modes.
To blank all of the channel names, press the ;40@;; button underneath the scribble strip in the tab, and click ,4A in the
warning pop-up that appears.
To reset all the channel names to the default naming (
Chan1
,
Chan2
etc), press the %4A4B70==4;!0<4A button underneath
the scribble strip in the tab, and click ,4A in the warning pop-up that appears.
If you are using the Cue Stereo to source extra inputs for ‘
'@02: 8F3>E=’ mode (see page 34) you can label both rows
of the Matrix scribble strip so that you can remember what sources are having their level controlled by each Cue pot. Simply click
the 8A?;0G70==4;A button. Usefully, you can then choose ;8?&2@811;4&B@8? so that the labels for channels 1-16
are closest to the faders and the labels for channels 17-32 are (slightly) closer to the cue pot.
Please note that you will only see both sets of labels on the Matrix scribble display when solely in Analogue Focus. If the Devices,
Chains, In-Line, Plug-In or Auto-Set buttons are engaged or if you are in DAW Focus Mode, you will not see channel names
17-32.
