Vista 9 Digital Mixing System
2.4.13 Area 13 – Joystick
2-4 Desk Operation
Alphanumeric display
Indicates the inherited label of the channel currently assigned to the Joy-
stick.
 Y axis lock
 X axis lock
These keys lock the Y axis () or X axis () when moving the joystick.
Pressing  and  simultaneously deactivates the joystick completely and
clears the assignment to a channel.
FOLLOW
Activates the joystick to display the currently selected channel (select with
LINK/SEL). If a gang is present, the joystick will influence the whole gang.
FOLLOW can be deactivated by a second press; the joystick will then stay
assigned to the current channel.
D EFINE FOLLOW
When a gang is active and the joystick is set to FOLLOW mode, the
joystick will physically move to the average of all the pan values of
the gang, allowing the user to make slight adjustments very quickly.
However, if the user wants to do a 'full' pan, so that all channels
will be e.g. fully left, he needs to define the channel for the joystick
to display. The joystick will then move to the pan position of the
defined channel, but will still keep influencing the whole gang.
Example: One dialog microphone is moving together with the
ambience channels. The gang will include all channels even if the
joystick is defined to only show the dialog microphone by using
DEFINE FOLLOW.
Operation: Create a gang, have FOLLOW on. Press DEFINE FOLLOW
and select one of the gang members (use the half-lit LINK/SEL keys
as guides).
