Interface 101 - Peavey PC1600X User Manual

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERFACE 101

The user interface is based around the 20 x 2 display and the four navigation/arrow buttons. Like most
devices the PC1600X is very easy to use as soon as you learn how. Fortunately with the PC1600X the
interface is both straightforward and simple to learn. Most features of the PC1600X can be programmed by
understanding only a few basic concepts.
The Edit, Utility, Scene and Copy buttons are used to access various menus.
The Up/Down direction buttons serve three major functions:
1. When no parameters are flashing these buttons select different Data within a menu.
2. When a parameter is flashing on a particular page the Up/Down buttons set the parameter's value. On all
pages except the main page the Data Wheel has the same function as the Up/Down buttons.
3. They are used to chance presets when on the main page.
The Left/Right direction buttons select the parameter to be adjusted for a given Page. If other pages are
available within the menu scrolling past the left-most or right-most parameter causes all parameters to stop
flashing.
Note:
The Up/Down and Left/Right buttons are auto-scrolling, they will repeat at a fixed rate lf you hold
one down. To speed up the scrolling, press the opposite direction button after pressing the first (i.e.
press and hold the down button. Then press the Up button to decrement much faster.)
Pressing the Exit button while a parameter is flashing will always stop that parameter from flashing. Pressing
the Exit button when no parameter is flashing will always leave the current menu. Several presses of the Exit
button will return you to the main page.
The "Enter" button is used in several places to cause a function to be executed. Except for the main page,
"Enter" appears in the Upper or Lower right corner of the display if it is to be used.
The programmable Faders, Buttons and attached CV Pedals are all used to transmit MIDI messages. In
addition, the Data Wheel can duplicate the action of a fader or CV input.
