Regions
The term “region” refers to some sort of functional unit 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
There are a total of 10 regions.
•Switcher: M/E1, PGM/PST, USER1, and USER2
•DME: DME1 to DME4
•External devices:
Regions applicable to keyframe operations
All of the above regions
Regions applicable to snapshot operations
Eight regions, that is, the above 10 regions less the two regions for external devices
“USER” regions
The precise significance of the regions USER1 and USER2 is as follows. USER1: Color backgrounds 1 and 2
USER2: AUX buses
Reference region
When multiple regions are selected, only one region appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad operations. This is called the “reference region.” The reference region is determined according to the following precedence.
M/E1 >P/P >USER1 > USER2 > DME1> DME2 > DME3 > DME4 >
