PRO6 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
Chapter 6: Navigation
This chapter introduces you to navigation on the control centre and shows you how to
use its navigational tools.
For information on navigating the scenes in automation, refer to “Managing the scenes”
on page 58.
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 over 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 channels 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” on page 17.
Navigation is primarily via the control surface, although the GUI may provide an
alternative 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.
Shows the number of control centres you would need to display all of the inputs of the
PRO6 simultaneously and helps to illustrate how the inputs populate the control surface
(and GUI) in banks of four
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.
