Chapter 3: Common Tasks

If you completed the steps in Chapter 2: Setup and Installation, you are ready to

start learning about your MC Control. We recommend performing these simple

tutorials of com mon tasks in the order presented. The following important user

interface items and terms are used in the tasks:

• The Soft Knobs can be turned like a conventional knob and pressed like a switch to
access an additional context-sensitive function (some do not have a second func-
tion).
• The Soft Knobs access a hierarchical menu system. The beginning of the menu sys-
tem, called the top-level knobset, allows choosing among eight functions to con-
trol with the Soft Knobs.
• The Touchscreen has two rows of six Soft Key labels that correspond to the two
rows of physical Soft Keys (Figure 3-1). Press the SOFT KEYS S and T page keys
to display additional Soft Key labels.
• Press and hold the Shift key, found at the MC Control’s bottom-left and -right, to
access the functions labeled in blue (Figure 3-3).
