MULTI-FUNCTION LCD DISPLAY

The LCD provides access to the many
UltraLite-mk3 settings, as well as visual feedback
of the current parameter being modified.
Parameter "zooming"
For many settings, the LCD temporarily "zooms
in" to display a long-throw meter and alpha-
numeric display to give you precise, real-time
feedback as you adjust the setting. For example, if
you change the headphone volume, the LCD
displays a level meter and gain reduction reading
that updates as you turn the volume knob, as
shown in Figure 6-2 on page 40. After a brief time-
out, the display returns to its previous state before
you turned the volume knob.
