CS-32 MiniDesk pots
Because the CS-32 MiniDesk pots are not motorized, Pickup mode is used if turned on in Control
Surfaces preferences. In Pickup mode, the controller must reach (pick up) the current value
before the value starts to change. This prevents sudden jumps of parameter values caused by
playing back automation.
A pot’s current value is indicated by the NULL arrow LEDs.
•
The Upper arrow is lit if the pot’s value is above the current value.
•
The Lower arrow is lit if the pot’s value is below the current value.
•
Both arrow LEDs are lit when the pot has reached the current value.
The pots can operate in one of three modes, with one sub-mode in each.
•
Instrument edit mode: Press F8 to enter Instrument edit mode (display shows “In”). The pots
control (software) instrument parameters. Hold down SHIFT (display shows “b1”–“b9”) to move
between banks (pages) of parameters. (See CS-32 MiniDesk cursor controls on page 146.)
•
Eect edit mode: Press F9 to enter Eect edit mode (display shows “P1”–“P9”). The pots control
the parameters of the eect in the currently selected Insert slot. Hold down SHIFT (display
shows “b1”–“b9”) to switch between Insert slots, and move between banks (pages) of
parameters. (See CS-32 MiniDesk cursor controls on page 14 6.)
•
Pan/Send mode: Press F7 to enable Pan/Send mode (display shows “PA”). In this mode, the pots
control the following channel parameters:

PAN/P3 Controls pan of selected channel.
SEND C/P4 Controls Send 3 level of selected channel.
