TC Icon modes: Base and
Device operation
The TC Icon software has two operation modes:
Base and Device operation.
►
Use Base mode to select devices and con-
figure the network and the TC Icon software
itself.
In Base mode, you will see the Select, Auto
and Setup tabs on the upper edge of the
TC Icon window. Most Base mode functions
are described in the chapter “Icon Setup” on
page 81.
►
Use Device operation mode to operate the
currently selected device.
In Device Mode, you will see the specific tabs
for operating the currently selected TC de-
vice.
Switching between Base and
Device operation modes:
►
To switch between Base and Device opera-
tion modes, click the Icon symbol in the up-
per left corner of the window.
Faders
The TC Icon software has large on-screen fad-
ers. They have several features that will help you
operate your Loudness Pilot efficiently.
►
There are six on-screen faders.
►
You can change the position of the faders
or hide them completely – see“UI page” on
page 85.
►
The name of the parameter that a fader is
currently assigned to is displayed above the
fader.
►
When no label is shown above a fader, that
fader is currently not assigned to a parameter.
►
Fader assignments and values will always re-
flect the last Engine you have accessed.
Using Faders for fine adjustments
When a parameter is assigned to a fader, you
can choose between Normal and Fine adjust-
ment mode.
►
In Normal Adjustment mode, the fader
range will cover the full parameter range – e.g.
-18dB to 18dB for the Center Trim parameter.
►
In Fine Adjustment mode, the fader range
will be smaller, allowing you to fine-tune
around the current value – e.g. in 0.1dB steps
for a level parameter.
To switch a fader from Normal Adjustment mode
to Fine Adjustment mode or back, click the label
above that fader. Fine Adjust mode will be indi-
cated by two triangles in the label field.
