The Screens
Accessing Windows
In addition, specifi c windows pertaining to a chan-
nel can be opened by simply touching that area in
the channel strip.
Note: Touching an area on the touchscreen some-
times results in a different action than clicking
the same area with the mouse.
For example:
• Touch the bus assign area just below the me-
ters on a channel strip to open the ASSIGNS
window, which is also accessible by selecting
Windows > Assigns.
Click in the bus assign area to turn the individ-
ual bus assignments on and off, and to change
input, insert, and direct output assignments.
• Touch the auxes section just below the channel
number to open the AUXES window.
Click in the auxes section to adjust the indi-
vidual aux send levels (and cue panning).
• Touch the VU meter to open the Dynamics win-
dow.
• Touch the EQ graphic display to open the Equal-
izer window.
Click the EQ graphic display to turn the EQ on
and off.
• Touch the Panning graphic display to open the
Surround window.
Click in the Panning graphic display to adjust
the surround position.
The touchscreens provide an elegant user inter-
face for accessing and controlling the signals as
they are routed through the Digital X Bus.
Overview
Before getting into the details of all the menu
items and windows that are accessible on-screen,
it’s worthwhile to mention at this point that a
number of shortcuts are built into the touchscreen
interface to quickly get to where you want to be.
Meters and Switching Banks
Touching the meters at the top of the screen
toggles between a view of just the meters for the
selected bank, or a total view of all 92 meters. The
bank view provides a magnifi ed view with clipping
indicators, while the total view allows you to see
what is happening with all the channels, all at once.
Touching the meter for a specifi c channel or
group of channels while in the total view causes
the Digital X Bus to switch to the bank in which the
channel or channels belong, while switching the
meter view to the view for that bank. This allows
you to quickly switch from one bank to another
from the touchscreen.
