Control Panel Descriptions
For example:
S If BG and DSK are currently lit, pressing BG turns the BG button
on, and turns the DSK button off.
S If DSK is currently lit, pressing BG and DSK turns the BG and DSK
buttons on.
Following are descriptions of each button in the Next Transition Group:
~ Enable BG to arm the background layer for a transition.
• When BG is on, the selected PST source appears in the bank’s
preview monitor output. When the transition is performed, the
PST source flips to PGM.
• When BG is off, the selected PST source does not appear in
the preview monitor output. The current PGM source is held
during the next transition — even if a different source is
selected on PST.
~ Enable DSK to arm a transition to or from the DSK layer, using the
source selected on the Phantom Key Bus. The red LED above the
button lights when the DSK is on.
•If the DSK is currently off and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key on. The key source appears in the bank’s preview
output.
•If the DSK is currently on and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key off. Here, even though the key is on, the key is
removed from preview — showing the bank’s next look.
• Press and hold DSK to display the Key Menu, with the DSK
highlighted.
If DSK is off and BG is on, the key will not transition. If the key is
currently off, it stays off. If the key is currently on, it holds.
The following rules apply to both buttons in the Next Transition Group:
~ As you enable or disable buttons in the group, the selected layer appears
(or is removed) on the bank’s Preview output.
~ At the end of a transition (either manual or automatic), all buttons that
you enabled in the group remain on. This allows you to transition back to
the previous look.
~ Both buttons work in combination with the bank’s MIX, WIPE, CUT,
AUTO TRAN button and the T-Bar. For example:
S If you arm BG and MIX, and then press AUTO TRAN, the transition
automatically mixes to the selected source.
S If you arm DSK, BG and WIPE, and then move the T-Bar, the
transition manually wipes to the selected source plus DSK.
S If you arm DSK and then press CUT, the DSK cuts on or off.
