scribble strip

The SETUP screen's scribble strips tab allows
setup of the M32's channel LCD displays, including
those for the digitally-controlled amplifier group-
ing feature, also known as DCAs.
A DCA group is a grouping function, made pos-
sible by the console's digital operation, where
individual input channels can be grouped to-
gether and controlled with a single output fader
on the right-hand side of the console. Unlike
the traditional sub-grouping function found on
analogue consoles, a DCA group does not combine
the different input channels into a common sub-
mix. Instead, the individual input channels still retain their original routing characteristics, but their level adjustments are
commonly controlled.
On the scribble strips tab the user can make useful adjustments, such as assigning real names to the selected channel
(such as 'drums' or 'backing vocals'), as well as assigning colours to them that are then reflected on the console's channel
LCD screens.
To adjust the various LCD display settings, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the first rotary control to select which of the channels you wish to edit.
2. Adjust the second control to set the colour for the currently selected channel's scribble strip.
3. Adjust the third control to select the graphic icon for the selected channel. A large variety of clip-art is available to
represent various input sources and output destinations.
4. Adjust the fourth control to select a name from a list of common preset names (snippets) for the currently selected
channel.
5. Tap the fourth control to assign the currently highlighted text to the currently selected channel's scribble strip.
6. Tap the fifth control to edit the text assigned to the currently selected channel's scribble strip.
7. Adjust the fifth control to scroll through the available characters that can be used to name the currently selected
channel's scribble strip.
8. Tap the fifth control to select the currently highlighted character.
9. Adjust the sixth control to scroll between the available character sets.
10. Tap the sixth control to exit the text editor and save the current parameters to the currently selected channel's
scribble strip.
