About the navigational controls

The PRO6 navigational controls can be broadly divided into two main areas: those that
operate the channels currently populating the control surface (quick access buttons and
LCD select buttons) and the ones that navigate channels to/from the control surface
(scroll buttons and output select buttons)—although there may be some overlapping.
Quick access buttons
Quick access buttons help you to quickly select the channel, mix bus or processing area
you want. The buttons, which are round and translucent, illuminate (blue) when active.
The quick access buttons in fast strips select their local channel and assign their local
processing area to the associated channel strip. The ones in the channel strips select
their local processing area, but don't affect channel selection.
LCD select buttons
LCD select buttons select their local input channel/group (VCA/POP). The buttons are
square and have an LCD display, which can be backlit. The display provides useful
feedback by showing you information, such as channel/group name, and by identifying
the group from the user-configured backlight colour. When selected, the display
changes to a 'negative' image.
For more information on how to use the group LCD select buttons, see "Using VCA/POP
groups" on page 39.
Scroll buttons
You can scroll through the channels/mixes by using the pairs of scroll buttons located in
the 'select' sections of the mix and master bays (see Figure 7 on page 20). The
direction of scrolling matches the analogue convention, where channels are left/right
and mixes are up/down. The buttons are translucent and have a blue backlight that
illuminates when pressed.
The scrolling action of the buttons (or the number of channels/buses scrolled per press)
varies according to their location. For more details, see "About the navigation 'select'
sections" on page 19.
Output select buttons
The output select buttons navigate their associated bank of outputs to the control
surface. The buttons are translucent and have a blue backlight that illuminates when
pressed; the backlight stays on to show you which bank of outputs is currently
populating the control surface.
