The following are some useful points to know about controlling a rotary control
and the Assignable Controls window:
• You can assign any of the internal eects’ rotaries to the
Assignable Controls window.
• You can’t use the Assignable Controls window with the GEQs.
• You can assign a control to the I zone via the control surface or the GUI.
>> To open the Assignable Controls window
1. Make sure that the master bay GUI screen is not displaying an internal device
(eect or GEQ). If necessary, select another screen via the GUI menu or by
pressing a screen access button in the primary navigation zone.
2. Press the I zone quick access button (see “I zone controls on the control surface”
in Chapter 30). The Assignable Controls window will open at the master bay
GUI screen; in the example shown below no controls have been assigned.
>> To assign a control to the I zone
Open the Assignable Controls window and do one of the following:
• In the assignable controls section (I zone) on the control surface, press
and hold down an I zone assign/unassign button. Operate the desired
control; if necessary, navigate its channel to the control surface rst.
• At the master bay GUI screen, open the Assignable Controls window and
select the control you want to assign from the three panels at the bottom of
the window (see “About the Assignable Controls window”). For example,
choose the compressor ratio control of input channel 34. Then click one of
the overlying assign/unassign buttons (as shown below).
• An alternative method is to press and hold down an I zone assign/unassign
button in the assignable controls of the control surface. Then, on the GUI
(maser bay screen), click the desired control.
>> To unassign a control in the I zone
1. In the Assignable Controls window on the GUI, click Unassigned in the far
left panel (bottom of window).
2. Click the desired I zone assign/unassign button.
>> To manually set the tap time of an eect
1. Assign the desired eect’s delay time parameter to an I zone control.
(Choose Eects in the left panel and then the desired channel and delay
time parameter from the other panels.)
2. Tap the assign/unassign button of the I zone control (just as you would the
Tap button of the eect) to achieve the desired tap time.
The PRO X measures the interval between taps. It uses the most recent taps
to calculate the average tap time, which is constantly updated according to
each subsequent tap. This value is displayed on the eect’s front panel in the
appropriate Range eld and is also indicated by the control knob
immediately left.
Using the I zone to control an
internal eect/GEQ
As the internal eects and GEQs of the PRO X are primarily GUI-only features,
control surface support is provided by the I zone, which lets you operate their
parameters using physical controls.
With an internal rack unit selected at the master bay GUI, a set of its parameter
controls will be automatically assigned to the I zone. Each individual set of
I zone controls will have its own single control assignment. To encompass all of
a rack unit’s parameter controls they are bundled into sets — known as ‘pages’
for eects and ‘groups’ for GEQs — which are navigated using the I zone’s
arrow buttons.
About the assignable controls panel on the GUI
The assignable controls panel is displayed at the bottom of the eect/GEQ window (output bay GUI only). It gives a pictorial representation of the I zone and displays
additional information, such as button and control knob assignments, current ‘page’ number etc. This panel also provides an alternative method of operating the
I zone controls.
