UTILITY
The UTILITY screen is a supplemental screen designed to work in conjunction with the other screens that may be in
view at any particular moment. The UTILITY screen is never seen by itself, it always exists in the context of another
screen, and typically brings up copy, paste and library or customisation functions. For example:
• When you are adjusting the EQ of a channel, pressing the UTILITY button will offer copying, pasting or loading
functionality, or saving of EQ settings
• Pressing the UTILITY button while editing a channel's CONFIG/PREAMP screen will offer copying, saving or
loading preamp configurations
NOTE: Pressing the UTILITY button while holding the channel Select button is a shortcut to editing the channel's scribble
strip display icon, naming or colour.

ios

Snippets: Utility offers selecting a number of snippets for exporting or importing on attached USB media.
Param Safes/Chan Safes: Utility allows setting/resetting the Safe flags for a complete column of entries at once.
ROTARY CONTROLS
These six rotary controls are used to adjust the various elements located directly above them. Each of the six controls can
be pushed inward to activate a button-press function. This function is useful when controlling elements that have a dual
on/off status that is best controlled by a button, as opposed to a variable state that is best adjusted by a rotary control.
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT NAVIGATION CONTROLS
The LEFT and RIGHT controls allow for left-right navigation among the different pages contained within a screen set. A
graphical tab display shows which page you are currently on. On some screens there are more parameters present than
can be adjusted by the six rotary controls underneath. In these cases, use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through
any additional layers contained on the screen page. The LEFT and RIGHT buttons are sometimes used to confirm or cancel
confirmation pop-ups.
