1.1 Momentary/Latching Key Activation ¹
A lot of key presses during console operation are repetitive in order to com-
pare settings or to make quick checks for monitoring purposes. Studer has
reduced the amount of needed key presses tremendously by incorporating a
special logic for these cases. The control surface distinguishes long and short
key presses and reacts accordingly: Pressing and holding a key will automati-
cally reverse its activation upon release of the key – this is, however, applied
only where appropriate. All keys featuring momentary/latching activation are
labeled with a ¹ symbol throughout this manual.
For example, holding down a talkback key for one second will automatically
cancel the talkback connection upon release. If you want the connection to be
activated continuously, just press the key and release it immediately, without
holding. Further examples are ON/OFF switching of audio functions (EQ,
lters, dynamics), or PFL.
