Control Modules (52/RX)
The control modules are the interface between the user and the functions of the mixing system. Different control modules
are available, each of them providing its own set of features. Moreover, you can integrate TFT screens into your setup.
These TFT displays are not only able to show information. Due to they are sensitive to touch, you can design views with
buttons to control functions via the TFT screens.
All control modules have in common that they consist of control elements – such as faders, buttons, rotary knobs – and
status indicators. These are LEDs inside the buttons, alphanumeric displays for text, defined parts of TFT views and so on.
Some typical applications for displaying information to the user are:
· LEDs showing the active bus assignment for a given channel.
· An alphanumeric display in the fader modules shows, which input signal is selected for a given channel and shows a
channel timer.
· Alphanumeric displays on the main modules give several feedback to the user and offer menus for different selections.
· LEDs inside the push buttons are switched on or off to indicate the state of the button.
All control modules are tightly integrated with the Control Engine. It collects all events from the faders, rotary knobs and
buttons and sends back the information into the status indicators and displays. Using the configuration software, the
functions of all control elements and status displays can be defined according to the given application of the mixing
system. As with the Audio Engine, this configuration can be changed anytime, if desired.
To make configuration easier, the software allows to print out labels for the buttons of the control modules. These labels
are slid under the key caps. If necessary, they can be changed again later to reflect changes in the configuration of the
system.
