Areas 5A, 5B - Channel Selection - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

2.2.6 Areas 5a, 5b – Channel selection
Date printed: 27.0.0
 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 pur-
poses. After LINK ALL is pressed, all LINK / SEL keys are half-lit, waiting for
the channel type to be defined (for linking).
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 machine
will remain constant.
LINK / SEL
This key is used to select channels in different situations:
• Select a channel for 'channel patch view' on the Graphical Controller
• Select a channel for joystick assignment (PAN)
• Select or 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 to-
gether.
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 chapter 1.1.3 for details.
