Key for programmable user- or application-specific functions (such as fader
start, fader ramps (audio-follows-video), switching to an alternate n-x output
signal, user specific functions etc.).
 MUTE Mutes the corresponding channel. The MUTE LED indicates when he channel
is muted by a SOLO IN PLACE function or by a mute group.
 SOLO Depending on the setting of SOLO, and SOLO IN PLACE keys, this activates
the SOLO, or SOLO IN PLACE function of the corresponding channel. The
solo signal is always inserted into the control room monitoring path as soon
as at least one channel is active.
As a standard the SOLO works in non-additive mode. This means that press-
ing a second SOLO button will automatically release the first one. However,
additive mode can be entered by press-and-hold at least two SOLO buttons at
the same time. From then on any other SOLO is added without canceling the
first ones. Non-additive mode is re-activated by canceling all active SOLOs.
 ISO
The whole channel may be filtered from snapshot recalls by pressing this
key. It is also possible to isolate only certain elements of a channel, such as
the EQ. This is done by pressing and holding the ISO key while pressing the
corresponding audio key in the central 'Channel Processing' area. Pressing
e.g. the EQ on/off key will put the whole EQ into ISOLATE mode. Touching
a rotary encoder will put just that rotary into ISOLATE mode, indicated by a
yellow 'I' or – if one of the Vistonics keys is selected – just by changing its
color to yellow. It is also possible to e.g. open up the EQ view on the Vistonics
screen and select only one single parameter of the EQ to go into ISOLATE.
If one of the EQ parameters is isolated, but not the whole EQ, the EQ on/off
key becomes half-lit while pressing ISO. If the 'Enable Trim Mode' option
in the Static Automation Options page is active, the status of the elements
doesn't only toggle between READ and ISOLATE, but also goes to a red 'T'
(TRIM). On Vistonics keys this status is indicated simply by changing the
button's label color to red.
The ISO key is fully lit, in case the whole channel is currently isolated from
snapshot recalls. This state is accompanied by the word ISO with solid yellow
background in the Generic Display Area.
 TALK
Activates talkback to the direct output of this channel and, if applicable, to
the n–1 bus output. In case this channel is participating an off-air conference
at this time, talkback is activated to all members of the conference.
7-segment display indicating the control group to which this channel is
assigned (this is a function similar to 'VCA groups' known from analog
mixing consoles).
 PFL
Activates pre-fader listening mode. Signal is fed to the near-field monitoring
outputs as standard, but can be inserted into the main control room monitors
by pressing CR INJECT.
As a standard the PFL works in non-additive mode. This means that pressing a
second PFL button will automatically release the first one. However, additive
mode can be entered by press-and-hold at least two PFL buttons at the same
time. From then on any other PFL is added without cancelling the first ones.
Non-additive mode is re-activated by cancelling all active PFLs.
