Operation
Channel Strips
The channel strips controls directly affect the associated onscreen channel. There is also
a special control:
REC + any SEL
toggle track’s record enable
Note: When you SOLO a channel, Cubase SX 2 also selects that channel.
Channel Encoders
Encoder
coarse adjustment of selected parameter
CTRL + Encoder
fine adjustment of selected parameter
NOTE: For proper operation, press the CTRL button and then turn the encoder.
Pressing CTRL while you are turning the encoder you may result in unwanted changes to
AUX or EQ parameters.
In the “Encoders” section are buttons that determine the functions of the channel
encoders. Pressing PAN sets them for panning. Pressing one of the AUX 18 buttons sets
the encoders for Send (Aux) level adjustment. There are two AUX modes:
· Single Aux Mode: In this mode a single AUX button is lit. Turning a channel
encoder selects that channel strip (the channel’s SEL button will light) and adjusts
the level of the aux send corresponding to the lit AUX button.
· Single Channel Mode: In this mode all eight AUX buttons are lit. The channel
encoders are used to adjust aux send levels 18 of the selected channel.
To switch from Single Aux Mode to Single Channel Mode, press the lit AUX button. All
eight AUX buttons should now light. To switch from Single Channel Mode to Single
Aux Mode, press the AUX button that you want to be active. The other AUX button
lights will go out. You can switch from either aux mode to pan mode. When you switch
back the system remembers which aux mode you were last in.
When the CTRL button is held down, the AUX buttons display the state of Aux Send
on/off for that selected channel. Holding CTRL and pressing an AUX button toggles that
Aux Send on and off. Please note that an Aux Send can only be turned on if it is first
routed to an effect, group, or output channel … otherwise it will just briefly flash when
you try to turn it on.
Please note that the FLIP button is inactive in Cubase SX mode.
