PUSH-BUTTON ROTARY ENCODERS
All of the knobs shown in Figure 6-3 are push-
button digital rotary encoders. In many cases, you
can either push the knob or turn it to make a
setting or toggle the LCD display (depending on
the encoder and setting).
MULTI-FUNCTION LCD DISPLAY
The LCD provides access to the many 828x
settings, as well as visual feedback of the current
parameter being modified.
Parameter “zooming”
For many settings, the LCD temporarily “zooms
in” to display a long-throw meter and an alpha-
numeric display to give you precise, real-time
feedback as you adjust the setting. For example, if
you change the headphone volume, the LCD will
display a level meter and gain reduction reading
that updates as you turn the volume knob. After a
brief time-out, the display returns to its previous
state before you turned the volume knob.
Figure 6-4: The LCD provides feedback as you adjust volume.
