USER BANK
Pressing U-BANK in the main SETUP page will show this screen:
Here you can assign any channel to the 12 'user channels' of a User Bank.
This is useful as it allows you to have important channels conveniently available in one bank so
that you have access to those channels quickly without having to switch banks all the time.
A User Bank can also be used for MIDI mixing of external sound modules, samplers, etc., and
could also be set up to provide dedicated master FX/Aux sends which are not directly available
on the panel.
The DPS24 has a total of five User Banks: the main User Bank, directly accessed via the
dedicated USER BANK key, and four extra User Banks.
To access the extra fader banks, hold the SHIFT key while you press one of the first four FADER
BANK keys. The USER BANK key will light up as well as the key pressed, to indicate that you
have an extended user bank selected.
The PREV [F3] and NEXT [F4] keys in this page allow you to select which user bank you want to
edit. The User Bank you are working on is shown in the title of the right hand column (in the
example above, Extra User Bank 3's assignments are shown).
To assign a channel to a user channel, use CURSOR UP/DOWN or Q6 to move the cursor inside
the left "Possible Assignments" column to the channel you want to assign.
Now press CURSOR RIGHT to move to the USER BANK ASSIGNMENTS column and use
CURSOR UP/DOWN or Q6 to select the USER BANK channel.
Now press ASSIGN [F6].
Repeat as necessary for other channels.
NOTE:
When an assignment is made, the left column cursor moves to the next channel and the right
column cursor to the next fader, making it ready to assign.
Also, to select channels for assignment quickly, a shortcut is to press the appropriate channel's SE-
LECT key on the front panel.
