5.6: Encoders

Each input channel strip contains three encoders: encoder 1 and encoder 2 are located in the VST fields in the low-
er screen area, while the channel encoder is located at the top of the fader area, and has an LED ring to indicate its
parameter state. Each of these encoders can control different parameters, depending on the settings of other parts of
the console.
The master section has 16 VST encoders and 4 panel-mounted encoders with LED rings: the TB/OSC Level Control
encoder, and the Sold Blend, Solo Trim & Phones Volume encoders. These last four are dedicated to their respective
functions.
Channel encoders always control a parameter on their own channel strip. The function of the channel encoders can
be globally selected via the [INPUT GAIN], [GATE THRS] and [PAN] keys on the Encoder Mode panel. See the Inputs
reference chapter 5 for more information.
The VST Input Bay encoders default to Aux 1 and 2, though can be assigned a variety of functions depending on the
console mode. If any touch field is activated, the 16 VST encoders are assigned with expanded channel function pa-
rameters. See the Inputs reference chapter 5 for more information.
The default setting for the Master VST encoders is as the output level controls for Master Outputs 1-16. This can also
be selected by pressing the [PAGE A] key on the Master Vistonics Mode Panel. Pressing [PAGE B] will cause the Mas-
ter VST encoders to be assigned as the output level controls for Master Outputs 17-24.
The Master VST encoders can also be assigned to Master Output Expanded Functions (e.g. EQ, Dynamics, etc.).
When a Master Output [SOLO/SEL] key is touched, it opens the Processing Area in the Master VST screen. If then a
paticular touch-area is touched, the VST encoders are assigned to appropriate expanded functions. For more informa-
tion see Outputs reference chapter 6.
