Regions

The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously.

Classification of the regions

The regions are classified as follows.

•MASTER region

•The following 31 regions

–Switcher: M/E1 to M/E3, PGM/PST, USER1 to USER8

–DME: DME1 to DME4 (inclusive of Global)

–External devices: P-BUS, Router, Device 1 to Device 12, GPI

Only the regions assigned to the region selection buttons of the numeric keypad control block can be used simultaneously.

For details of the region assignment to the region selection buttons, see “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
