2.5.9 Bank Select Unit (BSU)
The Bank Select Unit is designed to support the easy use of the D950’s
layered console structure; it is usually located with the center section and
is labeled as BANK.
During the D950 setup process, a default assignment of the configuration’s
channels to channel strips is created. During operation, the user can mod-
ify this assignment and develop alternate assignments using the Strip Setup
page on the Graphic Controller. The console supports up to 10 layers, or-
ganized in five banks with two layers each.
Using the BSU, bank setups may be activated and recalled at any time by
using the BANK 1 through BANK 5 keys.
The unit is usually located in the console's center section, on the level of
the rotary encoders; dimensions: 40.6 mm × 190 mm (2U).
In addition, the BSU includes the following functions:
ALL L1
This key allows all strips to be assigned to layer L1 of the current bank.
ALL L2
This key allows all strips to be assigned to layer L2 of the current bank.
SWAP L1/L2
This key inverts the current L1/L2 selection setup, and allows easy
change-over to those channels that currently are unavailable on the strip to
provide quick recovery of a previous setup. For example, if some channel
strips are assigned to Layer 1 and others are assigned to Layer 2 within the
same bank, the SWAP L1/L2 key will toggle between these assignments.
STO USER
For each bank, one User Memory is available that stores an L1/L2 strip
setup for the currently selected bank. Pressing this key causes those values
to be stored.
RCL USER
This key allows the User Memory of the currently selected bank to be re-
called at any time. While changing to a different bank, the system will re-
cover automatically the L1/L2 setting that was active when the bank was
left; in addition, the corresponding User Memory of that bank will again
be available.
SWAP CHAN
This key provides on-line channel swap, and activates a mode where, by
pressing the SEL keys, desk strip assignments of any two channels can be
swapped. This is a useful function to bring, temporarily, a particular chan-
nel nearer the center of the control surface for tuning audio functions.
Pressing any BANK key will return the swapped channels to their original
locations.
