5. Changing the Track screen layout on the VGA.
Although this exists in V1.00, some users were confused about how to change the VGA track screen
layout.
The 3-dots graphic in the horizontal bar above the track screen tab section, and the vertical bar between
the slot controls and the scrolling data area indicate where to click. Once clicked (actually anywhere on
the bar is fine), drag and keep dragging the bar until the display re-arranges itself. The cursor changes
when it is over the bar, but because it changes back again when dragging commences, it is not obvious
that the bar is still grabbed , and nothing changes in the VGA until the mouse reaches a new layout
position. As described in the reference manual, there are 3 positions for the tab divider:
(1) Normal, all controls in the tabs are accessable.
(2) Expanded (upwards), all controls in the tabs are available and some lists will automatically
extend to use the available space.
(3) Condensed (downwards), no controls in the tabs are available, a logo is displayed instead
(this mode
The slot control/scrolling area divider also has 3 positions.
(1) Normal, all slot controls are visible.
(2) Expanded (left to first position), the Source and Destination fields disappear.
(3) Double Height (left to second position), the Source and Destination fields re-appear
underneath the controls for that slot, making each slot double height.
6. Main Display Mode and Fader layer, Cue layer interaction
The Cue layer function behaves differently than the other fader layer functionality with respect to the
Main Display Mode setting.
When the Main Display Mode is set to External, changing the fader back from the front panel also
is useful when the

desire is to view a lot of tracks).
