FIGURE 295
The second stripe is similar but includes M/E LAYERS and M/E DELEGATE control groups (Figure 295).
Use the M/E DELEGATE buttons to designate which M/E (s) the rows at left are assigned to. Delegate buttons
generally support multi-selection. Note that if you reduce the number of layers required by an M/E (by
loading a different effect) the control surface automatically revises the LAYER SELECT delegate state as
required.
Hint: Hold down SHIFT and press PREVIZ to toggle M/E Delegate Follow Preview. Otherwise, making a manual
selection will also disable M/E Delegate Follow Preview mode.
As for the primary Switcher’s DSK row, the second KEY layer source can be set by holding down SHIFT when
making a selection.
The M/E LAYERS button allow you to assign the selection rows marked A/C and B/D as desired in cases when
an M/E effect has four layers.
• When the A|B button is lit, the two rows at left are assigned to rows A and B in the M/E .
• Otherwise (when C|D is lit) the rows at left correspond to rows C and D .
