The PEC/DIR Panel

This panel houses the traditional paddles used for PEC/DIR, Bus/Playback, or Bus/
Tape switching. The second set of paddles are used to put track(s) into record. There
are eight paddle strips, with associated switches above them, and a master control strip.
Bus/Tape switching on the paddles is consistent with the Dir/Ret CR Source switching
on the CM401 (see Section 5.1 Monitoring) between the Mix busses and their associ-
ated returns. However, it is possible to switch not only the whole bus section but also
the individual busses (legs).
By default, each mix bus section is assigned to a paddle. The master simply controls all
linked bus sections at once: press the On switch on the master and all linked On switch-
es turn On. The bus section name appears in the four-character display. All operations
take place within the monitor matrix and affect only the main CR monitors.
Turn a section On and it is sent to the monitors (same as the CM401 monitor section),
solo a section and anything currently assigned to the main monitors is removed, leaving
only the required section. The bus section Bus/Playback switch toggles between listen-
ing to the mix busses and their associated returns. The Ready switch enables dropping
the tracks associated with the bus section into record using the record paddle.

Link Key: When the Link key is lit, the user can select which sections to link to the
master strip paddles and switches. For example, in Figure 15-2, only the fx1 and fx2
sections are affected by the master controls.
When the Link key is not lit, the keys directly above the display allow the user to descend
a level. This means that the busses within the selected bus section are now assigned to
the paddles and the master strip becomes the selected bus section strip.
