SECTION 22.3

PRIMARY COMMAND GROUP

We saw earlier that the second column of buttons in each stripe provides
access to important control operations and options.

The

Command

group in the

first stripe

(nearest the operator) has some unique

features that actually govern other sections of the overall control surface.

We’ll refer to this as the

primary Command group

. Among these special

controls are several that we c

an describe as ‘delegate’ buttons.

For example, consider the four buttons labeled

KEY

in the top row of this

group.

22.3.1

KEY

Pressing one of these buttons, labeled 1-

4, ‘delegates’ or assigns the buttons

in the 24-button

KEY

selection row at left in the same stripe to govern the active source assigned to one or

more KEY (or DSK) layers.

Hint: Delegate buttons usually, though not always, support multi-selection.

22.3.2

DLGT STRIPE

The remaining button on the topmost row of the

primary

Command group

is labeled

DLGT STRIPE

, which is

an abbreviation of ‘delegate stripe’.

FIGURE 250

When you press and hold

DLGT STRIPE

, the LCD displays in

each

stripe update to show the names of the

available switcher busses (

MAIN, M/E 1, 2, etc.)

and MIX 1-4. In this state, press one or more buttons in the

PGM/A row beneath and release the

DLGT STRIPE

button to assign the stripe to the designated bus or busses.
