Soft Knobs
The six Soft Knobs are dual-function controls; they can be pressed like a switch, or turned to adjust parameters. Pressing a Soft
Knob can navigate to a room, clear color parameters, and select specific secondary operations.
RESET Keys
Each Trackball/Trackwheel has two RESET keys to restore their default settings. The left key of each group resets that Trackball,
the right resets that Trackwheel.
Transport Keys
The Transport keys are factory programmed for Apple Color. Each Transport Key lights when active. The Transport keys are For-
ward Play, Reverse Play, Stop, and Go To Next/Previous clip.
Trackballs and Trackwheels
Three Trackballs control Hue, Saturation and Brightness for Shadow, Midtone, and Highlight. The right Trackwheel can be reas-
signed to jog through the timeline. (For more information, see Chapter 6, "Soft Keys.")

creasing it has the opposite effect.
