Digital Recording Console 02R User’s Guide
ON Buttons
The [ON] buttons are used to turn channels on and off. The input channel,
tape return channel, effect return channel, and stereo output [ON] buttons
turn their respective channels on and off. When a channel is turned on, the
LED set in the corresponding button lights up. When it is turned off, the
LED goes off. Stereo-pair channels are turned on and off together.
Faders
The 02R’s faders are motorized. This means that they can be positioned
automatically. You can group or pair faders together so all faders in a group
or pair move automatically when you move any fader in that group or
stereo pair.
Fader positions are stored in scene memories. When a scene memory is
recalled the faders automatically move to their stored positions.
Fader positions are stored when the 02R is powered OFF. Even if faders are
subsequently moved, they return automatically to their last positions when
the 02R is powered ON again.

Rotary Encoders

To adjust the levels of the tape and effect return channels, the 02R provides
a continuously rotary encoder for each channel. The channel levels are
indicated by the Tape Return Level and Effect Return Level icons on the
bottom of the display screen.

FLIP Button

Although the rotary encoders are reasonably accurate, there will be times,
for example during a mixdown, when you want the increased accuracy
and feel of a fader to adjust the tape return levels.
The faders for input channels 1 through 16 are multi-function controls.
When you press the [FLIP] button, the faders switch to adjusting the tape
returns. The Tape Return icons change to reverse video to indicate the input
channels have moved up to the TAPE controls, and the LED in the [FLIP]
button is illuminated.
Note: You should avoid placing objects on the 02R that may block fader
movements. There are several operations, such as recalling a scene memory,
selecting the auxiliary buses, and automation playback, that automatically move
the faders. If a fader is blocked, it could be damaged as it attempts to move.
