4.5.3Knob Set Selector Keys
A knob set is an array of knobs used by EuCon applications to control plug-ins, EQs, dynamics, aux sends, etc. One of the eight Knob Set Selector keys is always selected and lit and displays its knob set until another Knob Set Selector key is pressed. When the MC Mix first starts, the PAN knob set is selected by default.

Figure 4-11Knob Selector keys
The Knob Set Selector keys enter the MC Mix menu system. Some of these knob sets can display another knob set called a sub-menu. For example, the Inserts knob set shows the names of every plug-in inserted on the track, one plug-in name per knob (in channel mode). Pressing a plug-in’s Knob Top key displays its parameters on the knobs for editing. This new knob set is a sub-menuof the Inserts knob set. Press the BACK key (page 39) to return to the top of the Inserts knob set.
Sub-menus are not directly supported in normal mode. When a sub-menu is entered in normal mode, the MC Mix automatically changes to channel mode and that track is attentioned and selected. When the top of that knob set is displayed again, normal mode resumes. Since sub-menus can be more than one level deep, this can be accomplished by pressing the TOP key (page 39) once or the BACK key repeatedly. However, you can simply press another Knob Selector key to navigate directly to another knob set.
