iLive Fixed Format Getting Started Guide 12 AP7141 iss.2
Step 3 – A few things to know before starting
Before working with the iLive familiarise yourself with its control layout and operating principles.
Two important keys
SEL - Select the channel processing. View and adjust the
parameters for that channel. Within the processing section
use these keys to open individual processing blocks on the
screen, or press and hold to send the signal at that point to
the PAFL system. These keys are also used when copying
or resetting processing parameters, and for setting up
ganging, name & colour and strip layout.
MIX - Select the mix you want to work with. View and adjust
the assignments, pre/post settings, levels and pan. There is
an option to choose to use either fader or rotary sends for
each Aux or Matrix mix. These keys are also used when
assigning and copying mix parameters, and setting talkback
assignments, channel safes and more.
Fader Strip LCD display
TouchScreen
The TouchScreen provides access to the FX, setup
and utility functions and presents an alternative
graphical view of the channel processing
parameters.
Touch a parameter box and change its value using
the screen encoder. To return to the root menu for
any screen mode touch the Return button.
Note - To display the channel parameters on the
screen make sure all the mode keys next to the
screen are turned off, or press the CHANNEL
PROCESSING key. A selected screen key overrides
the parameter view.
Note - Do not leave the screen in
NAME/COLOUR, MIXRACK or SURFACE setup
mode as these change the function of the SEL
keys.
