Rotary encoder This control lights up when it has a function assigned. It
is used as a send level, PAN or image control depending on the type of mix
currently selected with the MIX key and whether it is a fader or rotary mix. If
the mix has two image functions, for example, PAN and SUB level when
configured as an LRSub main mix, or Aux SEND and PAN for a stereo Aux mix
on rotaries, then the LCD displays two dials, one for each function. To access
the upper dial function hold down the ROTARY SHIFT key while turning the
encoder.
SEL key This green key provides access to the channel processing. The
current settings for the selected channel are displayed in the large processing
control section above the strips. Associated information is also displayed in
the TouchScreen if none or the ROUTING screen key is selected. The
controls illuminate when they are active. Press another SEL key to access the
processing for a different channel, or press the key again to turn it off. With no
processing selected the control section turns off.
Note: The SEL keys do not access the channel processing if the console
is in a setup mode (NAME&COLOUR, MIXRACK or SURFACE SETUP). In
this case they are used to select strips for the related setup mode. To avoid
operator confusion do not leave the screen in one of these setup modes.
PAFL key Selects either the PFL (pre-fade listen) or AFL (after-fade listen)
signal to the engineer’s headphones / local monitor depending on the setting
of the AFL keys below the PAFL meters. Press PAFL keys to toggle them on or
off, or use the CLEAR ALL key in the master section to turn off the current
selection. The associated yellow CHK indicators light on the iDR10 MixRack
and iLive Surface audio modules while PAFL is active. The T Series does not
provide these indicators.
Operating preferences may be set using the PAFL screen:
Auto-cancel or additive mode
AFL level trim
Link SEL key to PAFL key
Link MIX key to PAFL key (separate options for Input and Mix)
MUTE key Turns off the channel, mix or DCA as it would on a traditional
analogue console. It mutes the pre and post fade signals. The associated red
MUTE indicators light on the audio output modules in the MixRack or Surface
while mute is active.
Note: As standard, MUTE always affects the whole channel. It does not
provide individual send muting while in AUX or MTX mix mode. The ability
to quickly mute the whole channel while in any mix mode is important for live
sound mixing. To switch individual Aux or Mtx sends on or off use the ASSIGN
function.
