Button Behaviors
There are various combinations of lit and unlit buttons on the A-16CS
Control Surface. They are the same as those found on the A-16R. Here
is an overview:
• Channel buttons have two LEDs, an upper and lower.
The upper button is red and indicates that the Channel
is selected. The lower button is yellow; it indicates that
the Channel is muted. Channel buttons will light solid
or flash.
• The R
ECALL button has one red LED. It flashes when
the RECALL button is pressed, indicating that you can
now select a Preset by touching any numbered button.
• There is one LED in the GROUP button. When the
GROUP button is pressed, the LED flashes. This
indicates that you can now build or edit a Group.
• The R
ECALL and GROUP buttons will both flash when
held down simultaneously. This is the Save Mode, as
indicated by the connecting graphic above the two
buttons on the front panel.
• When a Preset is saved, all sixteen Channel buttons
will flash briefly to confirm the Preset save operation.
• The S
OLO button has one LED. It will light when
pressed, indicating that the selected Channel or Group
is now being auditioned with all other Channels being
muted.
• The MUTE button has no LED in it. Pressing the MUTE
button with a Channel selected will cause the Channel’s
lower (yellow) LED to light.
There is also one special button combination, the R
ECALL button
followed by the M
UTE button. When used together this combination
serves a twofold function:
• If there is a sudden change in the audio volume coming
through the monitor system, this button combination
silences all audio channels instantly.
• When starting from scratch to create a mix, use this
function to set all sixteen channels to zero volume and
all pans to the center settings.
