If you press in the rotary selector switch while in SEND
(mute or pre/pst) the MULTI switches will toggle between
the “mute” and “pre/pst” modes.
Send Buss Assignment.
Press and hold SHIFT (on the Dashboard lower panel)
and then press “assign” on the Dashboard lower panel.
The SHIFT LED will light solid, and the “assign” LED will
flash to show that assignment is in process. During
assignment, the Burn Mode Switches and the Rotary
Mode Switches are all disabled.
The Rotary Display will continue to show “Sx” for the
current Send . Rotate the rotary selector to select any of
the Sends for assignment.
Any SELECT LED’s that were on, now go off, and the top
row of the LCD will display the input or output assign-
ments for each channel in the current 8 channel view.
Rotate the rotary pots to move through the list of assign-
ment choices. The choices will appear on the LCD top
row as you do this. The bottom row of the LCD will show
where the current selection is in the list of choices.
When the SELECT LED flashes, it indicates that the
choice in that channel input or output assignment is not
the original one. When any channel SELECT is flashing,
you can not switch from one Send to another with the
Rotary Selector.
When the desired assignment is shown on the LCD,
press that channel’s SELECT switch. That will lock in that
assignment on that channel. The channel SELECT will
light solid to indicate it is locked in.
At this point you can continue to make similar changes in
the other 7 channels in this current view, or press the
Right or Left Arrow Switches to move to another view.
When you are done assigning Sends, you can press the
MIX or PLUG IN Rotary Mode switches to make assign-
ments there.
If you are done assigning altogether, either press the
“assign”, ESC, or the SHIFT switch on the Dashboard
lower panel. The “assign” and SHIFT LED’s will go out.
PLUG IN Operations.
If both the “bypass” and “select” LED’s are off, press the
PLUG IN switch. The Rotary Display will display either
“IN” for insert, or “PA” for parameter. Simultaneously,
Dashboard will open the currently selected plug in. If
none is selected,

Insert Control.
When the Rotary Display shows “IN”, the inserts for the
selected channel (controlled by the channel SELECT
switches) will display on the LCD. The top row of the
LCD will display “Insert 1-4 Channel label”, where
“Channel label” is the un-truncated name you have given
the selected channel. The bottom row of the LCD will
show inserts 1-4 for the selected channel. If the insert
has no plug in assigned, it will display “No Insert”. If an
insert has a plug in assigned, its name will appear (up to
10 characters long) on the bottom row of the LCD. If the
plug in name (or “No Insert”) is blinking on and off, that
indicates that insert is selected in the channel. If the plug
in name on the LCD has only upper case letters, then the
plug in is not bypassed. If the plug in name contains any
lower case letters, then the plug in is bypassed. Rotate
the rotary selector clockwise and insert 5 will appear on
the LCD. Rotate the rotary selector counter clockwise
and inserts 1-4 will appear on the LCD.
Parameter Control.
To pick a plug in for editing, press either of the 2
channel SELECT switches below the desired insert. If the
plug in is a slap delay on insert 4 (for example), the top
row of the LCD will briefly show: “Page 1/2 slap delay
(Ins 4)”. This means that page 1 of 2 parameter pages is
displayed, the plug in is a slap delay and it is on insert 4
in the channel strip. Following this, the first 4 of the
selected plug in parameter names will appear on the
bottom row of the LCD and their setting will be to the
right of the parameter name. If the parameter is a switch,
the parameter name appears on the top row of the LCD
with its value just to the right. The channel SELECT
switches will control the switch state, and the LED will
show the on/off state. If the parameter is a continuous
type, the rotary pot below the parameter will change its
value. Since there are only 4 parameters displayed on
Dashboard at a time, use the even numbered rotary pots
to make adjustments.
Rotate the rotary selector counter clockwise and the LCD
will briefly show “Page 2/2 slap delay (Ins 4)”. This
means that page 2 of 2 parameter pages is displayed,
the plug in is a slap delay and it is on insert 4 in the
channel strip. Here, all the parameters on page 2 can be
viewed or changed.
Bypass.
When the green “bypass” LED is lit, the MULTI switches
will bypass all the inserts on the selected channel. Press
the MULTI switch to toggle the bypass status of a
channels inserts. A solid lit green MULTI LED indicates
that inserts 1-5 on that channel are bypassed. A blinking
green MULTI LED indicates that one or more inserts (but
not all) on that channel are bypassed.
