3 PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
3.1 Introduction
The desk can show different audio controls on the Vistonics TFT displays.
The controls differ in type of graphical viewing, shapes, and colors. If re-
quired, they are grouped together with frames in order to give the user
maximum information without the need to read text on the display. The
view of the audio controls can be changed either globally for the whole
console, or locally within one channel.
For details on selecting the different functions please refer to chapter 1.1.1.
3.2 View Change
3.2.1 Global View Change
When pressing one of the keys in the GLOBAL VIEW area (on each fader
bay), the view of the whole desk is changed. Each channel strip will show
parameters on up to four rotaries and their associated key. Only one global
view key can be active at a time.
Some views will not cover all four rotaries, depending on the function (e.g.
a 2-channel pan covers only the bottom rotary) or DSP configuration (e.g.
if only 3 mono AUX buses are configured). After a view is activated, the
corresponding key is lit. When this key is pressed again, all previous views
(i.e., the ones other than the currently pressed global view key) will be
blanked. So the selection of parameters can be done in a quite flexible
way. When pressing AUX MONO 1-4 followed by PAN, the result will be
AUX 1-3 on rotaries 1 through 3, and pan on rotary 4. When pressing PAN
a second time, rotaries 1 through 3 are blank and pan will still be displayed
on rotary 4.
As with every rule, there are a few exceptions:
• For mono AUX views above 16 or for stereo AUX views above 8, the
ñ key (Shift) must be active.
• When the PRE / POST key in the fader bay’s GLOBAL VIEW area is ac-
tive, the AUX views change to pre-/post-fader selection.
• As a special global view change, the GLOBAL VIEW: BUS ASN key lets
the EQ, Dynamics, and pan curves on the lower part of the TFT display
disappear and shows all bus assignments instead (see chapter 3.4.7).
Pressing GLOBAL VIEW: BUS ASN again makes the curves reappear.
