Function Switches
The Function switches can be customized to control a wide range
of console parameters such as Mute Groups, snapshot recall, tap
tempo, and transport controls for Pro Tools and built-in 2-track
USB recording and playback. Eight Function switches are pro-
vided in two banks, providing 16 customizable functions. Actions
are assigned to the Function switches using events, available on
the
Events tab (Options > Events).
The following switches are provided:
1–8/9–16 These switches trigger actions assigned on the Events
tab.
To trigger an event using a Function switch:
 Press a Function switch 1–8 to trigger the action(s) assigned to
that switch.
9–16 This switch toggles the eight switches between Function
switch banks 1–8 and 9–16.
To toggle between Function switch banks 1–8 and 9–16:
 Press the 9–16 switch. The Bank switch lights, and switches
F9–F16 are active.
Show Me This switch lets you see the event(s) on-screen that is
assigned to a Function switch.
To see the event(s) assigned to a Function switch using the Show
Me switch:
 Press the Show Me switch. The Events tab is displayed.
Monitoring Switches
The Monitoring switches provide controls for the VENUE Solo
and Monitor busses.
The following switches are provided:
Solo Clear This switch clears all soloed channels.
Mix to Monitors This switch sends the Main mix signal to the
Monitor bus. When enabled (lit), the Main mix is present in the
Headphones (or other device connected to a hardware output as-
signed to the Monitor bus) whenever channels are not soloed.
Headphone Volume Control
The volume control for the Headphone output is located along the
right-front edge of the console. This signal for the Headphone
output is derived from the Monitor bus. Monitor bus controls are
provided on the Monitoring Global Control encoder.
Touch Strip
The Touch Strip is a touch-sensitive control that you can custom-
ize to control a wide range of console parameters using events.
The Touch Strip has four “press zones” that can be assigned to
control four separate events (similar to the Function switches).
Pressing a Zone
1–4 triggers the event assigned to that zone.
