Visual Feedback between Soft Controls
and the Editor Screen
The Editor screen offers highly visual feedback that is easy to follow and corresponds with the
identical controls in the Fairlight page, as well as the visual feedback on the Channel bay if you
are working with a Fairlight Console. When looking at the soft buttons and touch-sensitive
knobs, here are some guidelines to help you recognize their current state and options:
 Soft buttons and knobs around the Editor screen directly control the closest on-screen
parameter.
 The soft buttons above and below the screen have three visual states;
Bright, dim and off.
 At a glance all soft buttons with adjacent controls are illuminated (dim), while soft
buttons without controls are black (off).
 The upper row of soft buttons are toggles that either toggle a parameter On/Off or
toggle between options, such as the type of curve for EQ filtering. The last soft button
on the top row toggles between pages of controls.
 Soft buttons above the Editor screen brighten when active or latched on, and the
corresponding soft menu control onscreen shows in black with red text.
 Soft buttons below the Editor screen display alternative pages of controls assigned to
the left and right knobs.
 It is easy to identify which page of controls is active because the latched soft button
below the Edit screen is illuminated along with the adjacent label that is also marked
with a bright red line.
 When you touch one of the knobs to adjust the current settings, the background of the
corresponding visual feedback onscreen darkens.
 You can reset any of the parameters controlled by a touch-sensitive knob by pressing
the Control key then touching the knob.
 The first and last soft buttons on the bottom row are modifier keys that offers
momentary control of additional parameters for the controls for the knobs when
available. For example, when the Aux controls are shown in the Editor screen, the
knobs control the send level. While, a momentary press on the modifier soft button
changes the knob controls to the Aux channel Pan settings.
