Icon Appearance; Preset Types - TC Electronic System 6000 Basic Operation

Before moving on to Getting Sound a few words on:
Basic TC Icon operation
Navigating the TC Icon is easy when a few basic elements
are explained. The Icon Link key in the upper left corner
allows you to navigate between two pages/modes.
On the Select/Setup pages you handle overall System
settings that are NOT specific for individual Mainframes.
It is also from here you access a specific Mainframe.
The "Auto Page" deals with SMPTE automation.
Via the Operating Pages you operate a specific
mainframe.
Example - Operating pages
Structure
The core element of System 6000 is the 4 Engine
structure. This structure enables you to run up to four
powerful algorithms/ presets simultaneously.
Each Engine is capable of utilizing up to 8 Inputs and 8
Outputs, depending on the selected algorithm/preset.
Up to 16 physical Input and 16 physical Output channels
can be routed in the most flexible way.
Resources
The powerful and flexible DSP distribution structure lets
you run up to 4 Engine presets at the same time using any
available algorithms.
BASIC THE TC ICON ELEMENTS
Operating Levels - Preset Types
We differentiate between 3 levels of presets:
Scene, Routing and Engine.
• SCENE
This is the most extensive selection you can make. It
includes all four Engine algorithms as well as Physical
and virtual Engine connections. A Scene recall can be
compared to a "total recall."
• ROUTING
Handles all I/O Routings, including all physical
I/O connections to the Engine I/O's. No algorithm
(Engine) settings are recalled/stored with this selection.
A Routing preset holds all parameters displayed on the
Frame-Routing page.
• ENGINE
Handles the current algorithm in the selected Engine.
A single preset can be loaded to each of the four
Engines.
Parameter Values and Fader Groups
In the bottom of the display, Fader assignments and values
will always reflect the last modified Engine. Most
parameters can be controlled via the 6 Faders. As some
algorithms hold numerous parameters and we
operate with 6 Faders the preset parameters are
organized in Fader Groups. To scroll between the
Fader Groups use the Group selectors.
Parameter value - Fine Adjust
Any parameter value can be adjusted in two accuracies.
A Normal and a Fine Adjust - mode. To switch between the
two modes press the Value Fields above the faders.
As shown in the illustration the Fine Adjust
mode will be indicated with two triangles in
the value field.
Fader 6
Any parameter can always be assigned to Fader 6 by
pressing the parameter. Detailed explanation will follow in
the next sections.
User Fader Group - Custom Group
A User Fader group where you can assign parameters to
all 6 faders can also be created and saved along with the
preset. The User Fader group is selected by pressing the
Fader Group selectors.
