Selecting channels
Using the keypad to set channel levels involves two steps: selecting the
channels whose levels you want to modify, then entering output levels.
• To select a single channel, enter the channel number preceded by
[Channel] if the [Channel] LED is not lit. For example, [Channel] [1]
selects channel 1 or just entering 1 will do it if the [Channel] LED is lit.
• To select two channels that are not consecutively numbered, enter
the number of the first channel, then press [And] and enter the
number of the second channel. For example, [Channel] [1] [And] [7]
selects channels 1 and 7.
• To select a group of consecutively numbered channels, enter the
number of the first channel, then press [Thru] and enter the last number.
For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [9] selects channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, and 9.
• To exclude consecutive channels from a selected group of channels,
press [Except] before entering the channels to exclude. For example,
[Channel] [1] [Thru] [1][5] [Except] [5] [Thru] [1][3] selects channels 1,
2, 3, 4, 14, and 15.
• Use [And] to select each non-consecutive channel to include in a
selection. For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [5] [And] [8] [And] [1][1]
selects channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 11.
• Use [Except] to exclude each non-consecutive channel from a selection.
For example, [Channel] [1] [Thru] [5] [Except] [1] [Except [5]
selects channels 2, 3 and 4.
• If no channels are selected, press [Enter] to select all channels currently
at a level above zero.
Once you have entered your channel selections, you are ready to set
channel levels.
Selecting channels in Flexichannel mode
In Flexichannel mode, only channels that are used in the show appear on
the Stage, Blind and Fader displays. See Flexichannel, page 15, for
information on enabling and updating Flexichannel.
When Flexichannel mode is enabled, the [Thru] key functions slightly
differently. For example, in normal mode, pressing [1] [Thru] [5] selects all
channels from 1 to 5. In Flexichannel mode, pressing [1] [Thru] [5] selects
all visible channels from 1 to 5.
To select all channels from 1 to 5, including channels that haven’t been
used in the show so far, press [1] [Thru] [Thru] [5]. Pressing [Thru] a
second time alerts the system to ignore Flexichannel for that channel
selection.
