Channel selection

Document generated: 18.04.17
MULTI SEL

Used to make multiple selections; acts similar as the 'Ctrl' key on a PC key-
board.
LINK ALL
Links all channels of one type together ('Super Gang') mainly for setup
purposes. After LINK ALL has been pressed, all LINK / SEL keys are half-lit,
waiting for the channel type to be defined (for linking). Such a 'Super Gang'
also includes channels which are currently not visible on the surface!
A gang is canceled by pressing any LINK / SEL key on the desk.
SWAP FADER: ROW 1...ROW 4
Swaps the current fader value and the MUTE key onto the selected rotary
row, if the current global view on that row has a level control with the same
range as the fader (–90...+10 dB), while the value of that row is temporarily
displayed on the faders. The function is canceled when pressing the swap key
again or when activating any other swap function.
 FADER
Pressing this key will make the keys ROW 1...4 half-lit. All fader and mute
values of the current gang will be copied onto the control element shown on
the corresponding rotary row, if there is an appropriate parameter visible; e.g.
AUX level or Direct Out Level. If the fader is copied onto a stereo AUX, the
left/right pan value is also copied along with the fader and mute values.
Note: If the direct outputs of the input channels are connected to a multi-
track recorder, it might be desirable to have the fader values copied over onto
the direct output level controls before starting a recording. If the faders are
moved, e.g. during a live transmission, the levels on the multi-track recorder
will remain constant.
LINK / SEL
This key is used to select channels in different situations:
• Select a channel for switching audio processing such as EQ in and out.
• Select a channel for copying pasting audio values.
• Select a channel for 'channel patch view' on the Graphic Controller
• Select a channel for joystick assignment (PAN)
• Select/de-select a channel from a control group when in CGM setup mode
• Select a channel type when linking all channels of the same type.
Pressing two of these keys simultaneously will form a 'gang' between the
two. With MULTI SEL it is also possible to select channels that are separate
from each other.
All the members of a gang act together like one channel. Any change to one
of the members is performed to all of them. See
SW V5.3
