About the Centralogic section

Operations in the Centralogic section

Follow the steps below to perform operations in the Centralogic section.

1.

Use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to select the channels or DCA groups that you want to control.

NOTE

• The bottom line of the OVERVIEW screen shows the channels or DCA groups that can be controlled by the faders, [ON] keys and [CUE] keys in the Centralogic section.

• The top line of the OVERVIEW screen shows the channels that can be controlled by multifunction knobs 1–8 in the Centralogic section.

3.

Use the fields on the OVERVIEW screen and the multifunction knobs to adjust the parameters for the group of up to eight channels.

Bank Select keys

If you press one of the Bank Select keys, the channels or DCA groups corresponding to that key will be assigned to the Centralogic section, and can be controlled using the faders, [ON] keys, and [CUE] keys in the Centralogic section.
