The
Channel
Strip(s)
As
each
channel
strip
is
identical,
the
information
discussed
in
this
section
applies
equally
to
all
eight
channel
strips
on
the
Logic
Control
and
Logic
Control
XT
units.
V-Pot/V-Select
This
“soft”
potentiometer
can
be
used
to
adjust
the
send
level
and
pan,
plus
any
other
parameter
for
EQ,
instruments,
effects,
and
so
on.
The
V-Pot
can
also
be
used
to
scroll
through
and
choose
items—such
as
plug-ins,
Audio
Instruments
and
more—from
menus,
and
to
determine
destinations
for
sends.
The
V-Pot
also
contains
an
integrated
V-Select
push
button.
This
button
generally
sets
a
“default”
parameter
value
(where
a
parameter
has
more
than
two
possible
values),
or
switches
between
two
parameter
values
(on/off ).
The
V-Select
can
also
be
used
to
activate
a
function,
selected
through
use
of
the
V-Pot.
As
an
example,
the
V-Pot
can
be
rotated
in
order
to
select
an
effect
plug-in
for
a
particular
channel
Insert
slot.
Once
the
desired
effect
is
displayed
in
the
LCD,
a
simple
press
downwards
on
the
top
of
the
V-
Pot
will
activate
the
V-Select
button.
In
the
example
given,
this
would
select,
and
insert,
the
effect
and
launch
the
Plug-in
window.
On
occasion,
the
V-Select
is
used
to
switch
to
a
special
Assignment
mode.
The
current
value
of
any
parameter
being
adjusted
by
the
V-Pot
is
displayed
on
the
LCD
(dependent
on
the
Name/Value
setting),
and
is
also
indicated
by
the
ring
of
LEDs
which
surround
it.
The
various
LED
“ring”
displays
are
shown
here:
This
will
vary
as
follows,
dependent
on
the
selected
parameter:
Â
Connected
series
of
LED
segments
from
left
to
right
(send
level,
for
example)
 Single
segment
(panorama
or
frequency,
for
example)
 Connected
series
of
LED
segments,
starting
in
the
center
position
and
fanning
to
the
left
or
right
(EQ
gain,
for
example)
 Series
of
connected
LED
segments,
starting
in
the
center
position
and
fanning
to
the
left
and
right
(Q-Factor,
for
example)
 An
LED
dot
below
the
V-Pot
indicates
the
centered/default
position
of
the
parameter
