ware. Typically, they are used to navigate through the
GUI (Graphic User Interface) of the application screen.
Refer to your software’s application notes for further
details.

29. SHTL key

- The SHTL (shuttle) key always

sends messages to the host computer, regardless of what
control mode is selected for the rest of the control sur-
face. Its function is defined by the host application soft-
ware. Typically, it is used as a modifier for the DATA
WHEEL, changing it, for example, from Shuttle to
Scrub mode. Refer to your software’s application notes
for further details.

DATA WHEEL

The DATA WHEEL always sends

messages to the host computer, regardless of which
control mode is selected for the rest of the control sur-
face. Its function is defined by the host application soft-
ware. Refer to your software’s application notes for
further details.

30. BANK keys

- In COMPUTER Control mode,

the

h

BANK

y

keys send a message to the host soft-

ware application, to address the next lower or higher
bank of eight faders, respectively. Used with an applica-
tion-defined modifier key, they can also be used to
jump in single channel increments. The amount of
banks is wholly dependent on the host application’s
parameters. Refer to your software’s application notes
for further details.

In MIDI CTL mode, these keys address the channel
controls only (FADERS, Encoders, SOLO, MUTE
and SEL keys), providing the capability to send four
separate sets of commands with these controls. In this
mode there are always four banks.

In MON MIX mode, these keys bank between three
sets of inputs: (1) Analog Inputs 1-8, (2) ADAT Inputs
1-8, and (3) Digital Inputs L and R. (In bank 3, chan-
nels 3-8 are inactive.) In this mode, there are always
three banks.

31. NUDGE keys

– The NUDGE keys always

address the host computer, regardless of which control
mode is selected for the rest of the control surface.
Their function is defined by the host application soft-
ware. Typically, they are used to move selected audio

parts by pre-set increments within an arrangement.
The NUDGE

y

key moves the part forward, while

the

h

NUDGE key moves it backward. Refer to your

software’s application notes for further details.

32. LOCATE keys

The LOCATE keys always

address the host computer, regardless of which control
mode is selected for the rest of the control surface. In
most cases, pressing the

m

LOCATE key will move

the transport to the left or first locate point, while
pressing the LOCATE

,

key will move the transport

to the right or second locate point. Typically, when the
SET key is held and one of these keys is pressed, it will
store a new locate point at the transport’s current loca-
tion. Refer to your software’s application notes for fur-
ther details.

IN and OUT keys

The IN and OUT keys always

address the host computer, regardless of which control
mode is selected for the rest of the control surface.
Their function is defined by the host application soft-
ware. Typically, they are used to locate to or store drop-
in and drop-out points for automated recording. In
most cases, when IN or OUT is pressed, the transport
will move to the stored location. As well, when the SET
key is held and one of these keys is pressed, it will typi-
cally store a new In or Out point at the transport’s cur-
rent location. Refer to your software’s application notes
for further details.

SET key

- The SET key always sends messages to the

host computer, regardless of which Control Mode is
selected for the rest of the control surface. The SET key
is a modifier key – press and hold SET, and push either
of the two LOCATE keys, or the IN or OUT key to
store a new Locate or In/Out point at the present cur-
sor position. Refer to your software’s application notes
for further details.

33. Transport Controls

The Transport controls

always address the host computer, regardless of which
control mode is selected for the rest of the control sur-
face. The various transport keys (STOP, PLAY, RWD,
FFWD
and REC) always send the associated transport
commands to the host application software. This is
useful if, for example, you want to adjust Monitor
inputs while playing back existing channels in your
DAW application, and to monitor inputs with zero
latency.
