About GUI operation

The GUI is not just an additional feature that enhances control surface operation, it is a
fully-featured tool in its own right. Not only does it show what is happening on the
control surface, but all of its controls are functional. The GUI contains most of the
controls found on the control surface and, in addition, has features that allow
configuration of the PRO2 and provide extra functionality.
For information on how to operate the GUI (for example, using click and drag, using the
screen access buttons), see PRO2 GUI Navigation in the PRO2 Live Audio System
Quick Start Guide.

GUI screen layout

The GUI screen has three distinct areas
(shown right). The status bar is
constantly displayed throughout console
operation, while the main and detail
areas are context-dependent and may be
combined, particularly for GUI menu
screens. During channel operation the
main area will be divided into eight strips
(fast strips) displaying the channels
currently assigned to the channel faders
at the control surface. The detail area
shows a detailed view of the parameters
of the currently selected channel section;
with no channel selected the detail area
will be blank.
To distinguish between channel types, they are colour-coded: inputs = blue, aux inputs
= dark green, aux sends = light green, matrix = black and masters = black.
