An introduction to PRO1 navigation

The PRO1 provides you with unique navigational controls to quickly and easily access
the items, such as channels, buses, groups and processing areas, that you will require
for mixing.
Navigation is an important feature of the PRO1 Control Centre. One of the advantages
digital consoles have over analogue ones is that their channel count is not limited by
the control surface hardware. However, this means that only a certain amount of
channels can be at the control surface at any time, while the others are 'hidden'. So,
navigation is required to access these hidden channels whenever you need them.
The PRO1 has advanced navigational functions that are explained in this chapter.

Channel fader navigation

The channel fader section has eight channels. You can scroll (continuously) from inputs
to outputs and vice versa, but only one type can be assigned to the control surface at
any time. Channels are handled in banks of eight and are shown on the control surface
and GUI in ascending order from left to right.
The following lists the types of navigation available on the PRO1.
• Scrolling single channels
• Scrolling channels banks
• Assigning a mix bus to the channel faders
• Scrolling the mix buses
• Assigning input channels to the channel fader bay or mix bay
• Assigning output channels to the channel fader bay or mix bay
• Navigating the processing area assignments to the channel faders
• Scrolling assignable control assignments
• Swapping the assignable control button assignments
• Assigning VCA groups to the mix bay
