Select/Punch Keys
There are several Select/Punch keys on a Strip that operate on different levels:
• At the top of the Strip (see page 62), the Knobset Select/Punch key selects parameters for the currently selected function or
punches out ALL knobs.
• The upper switch to the left of the knob is the Select/Punch key for the On/Off switch below it. When the transport is moving,
it is the punch-in/out key for the On/Off switch. This key is also used to select the On/Off switch for inclusion in a Snapshot, and
pages to a second knob function, if it exists.
• Each knob has a center switch that punches the knob in/out during automation. It also selects that knob for inclusion in a
Snapshot. When not in automation, tapping the knob switch shows the value in the display instead of the function name.
Touch-Sensitive Fader and Controls
Each Strip has a touch-sensitive fader that moves automatically in response to recorded automation. When the fader is touched,
the Fader touch-sensor LED lights and automatically punches it into automation (the Select/Punch key also punches the fader
in/out). The Fader Automation Status LEDs show the automation mode status for the fader.
Backstop PFL
System 5 faders have a backstop switch past the bottom of their travel.
Wave Key
The Wave key has three functions.
• It assigns that Strip (Swap and Main channels) to the center Strip (see “CM402T Expanded Channel Module” on page 55).
• It selects Strips and channels for Layouts, Strip Expand, Strip Lock, or other operations.
• It modifies other keys like a shift key.
See “Global Mode/Strip Function” on page 130, “Strip Mode/Strip Function” on page 131, “Changing an Individual Parameter’s
Automation Mode” on page 131, and “Copy and Paste” on page 73 for examples.
