So, for example, if you are currently viewing/controlling Inputs 1-8, pushing the
BANK
button swaps out
those controls and replaces them with the next set of eight sources to the right, starting with NET 1 at left
and continuing to AUX in the eighth slot.
A number of buttons on the Artist Mix control surface have two labels. For example,
the
BANK
button (Figure 310) has a secondary
END
label above.
The upper label denotes alternative functions for the button that are invoked when
you hold down one of the two Shift buttons on the surface at the same time.
Note that the
BANK
buttons each have alternate functions when pressed with Shift, specifically
HOME
and
END
. These combinations jump past all other configured control groups to display the first and last entries
respectively.

LEVEL CONTROL
As you would expect, adjusting the position of a given fader modifies the volume level of the
corresponding control in TriCaster’s Audio Mixer.
For example, pushing the control surface fader labeled Audio1 A raises the volume for the
source labeled Audio 1 A in TriCaster’s Audio Mixer.
22.7.8
KNOB SET SELECTORS
A set of Knob Set selectors (Figure 312) runs vertically down the left side of Artist mix (left of
the first fader). Essentially, these are mode buttons that select which audio attributes are
governed by the eight ‘knob sets’ – that being one OLED display group and the knob
immediately beneath it, along with the two buttons to the left of the knob (
SEL
and
ON
) in that
set (see Figure 313).
Note: The
FLIP/CHAN
button in this group is a special case, and can be selected even when another
mode is active. Generally speaking, you will very likely find it best to leave this button off except for
certain operations – notably for EQ and Mic Trim adjustments. We’ll discuss these exceptions in
context as we go along.
The default Knob Set mode is
PAN
. For the most common production operations, this is the
mode you will choose. In fact, at the simplest level, once you have configured the Artist Mix
channels to take any SDI sources into account, you could likely be forgiven for never using
another Knob Set mode.
Generally speaking, the alternative Knob Set modes provide access to deeper audio configuration options and
settings. We’ll provide the details of their use in context as we go along.
