Text Editing
A keyboard is used to type in text on the GUI, for example, to con gure input
and output channel names. Editable text on the GUI is contained in text boxes,
which generally consist of a single line of limited length. Although all text editing
ca
n be done using the normal keyboard functions, the GUI can be used to assist
you, for example, by highlighting portions of text (using drag).
These two examples show you how to use the screen access buttons to open the Automation screen (single press) and the Graphic EQs screen (two presses).
These buttons take you directly to the screen you want.
>> To enter/edit text via the keyboard
At the GUI, click in the text box to place an insertion point in it. The pointer will
change to an I-beam shape.
Using the keyboard, type in the new text. If the text box already contains some
text, you can delete this  rst or ed
it it, which can be done via the keyboard or by
using the cut, copy and paste options after right-clicking.
Press ENTER on the keyboard to exit the text box (or click on an empty area of
the GUI screen). The pointer’s shape will change back to an arrow.
Navigation
An Introduction To Navigation
The control centre provides you with unique navigational controls to quickly and
easily access the items, such as channels, buses, groups and processing areas,
that you will require for mixing.
Navigation is an important feature of the control centre. One of the advantages
digital consoles have ove
r analogue ones is that their channel count is not
limited by the control surface hardware. However, this means that only a certain
amount of channels can be at the control surface at any time, while the others
are ‘hidden’. So, navigation is required to access these hidden ch
annels whenever
you need them.
NOTE: The way the control centre is set to operate may alter the
function of some of the navigational controls. For more information,
see Operating Modes.
Navigation is primarily via the control surface, although the GUI may provide an
alter
native and also has some unique navigational features of its own.
Navigating The Input Channels
The input channels are grouped into ‘banks’, with each bank containing four
consecutively numbered channels.
During normal operation, four banks of input channels populate the input bays,
and these are displayed across the control surface in ascending order from
left to right.
