output. When set to SWAP, pressing a FLASH button again causes the playback to be added to the
output, but all other playbacks are removed from the output.
Each FLASH button has an LED which is lit green for ADD and red for SWAP.
The ADD / SWAP functionality only affects HTP channels on the playbacks - LTP channels are not
affected by the FLASH buttons. The level of the playback is determined by the master faders – see
configuring the masters.
Cue Stacks can be set to always swap. Open the Cue Stack window and press the SELECT button with
the playback. In the VIEW OPTIONS view set the "Flash Button Swaps" option to YES.
10.4.4 Page Select
Above the Sub Master are NEXT PAGE and a PREV PAGE buttons. These control which playback
page is active, and hence which Cue Stacks the physical playback faders and buttons control.
The current page number and name is displayed in the status window on the touch screen. The current
page can also be changed from the Page Window by selecting a new page.
Changing the current page whilst playbacks are active does not affect the output of these playbacks - the
playbacks are "held over" until the playback is released.
10.4.5 Current Playback
The current playback is the one that has its SELECT button illuminated. The current playback is used
by the Cue and Cue Stack windows to determine the Cue and Cue Stack to view / modify.
You can change the current playback at any time by pressing the SELECT button for the playback you
want to make the current playback
Sometimes you may wish that the currently selected fader changes to follow the last fader that was
raised. This behaviour can be enables from the Setup Window by setting the "Current Playback follows
last touched" option to YES.
Press the SELECT button of a Playback twice in quick succession to select the Playback and
automatically open the Cue Stack Window so that you can view / change the contents of the Cue Stack.
Press the SELECT button of a Playback three times in quick succession to select the Playback and
automatically open the Cue Stack Window in the Options View.
10.4.6 Manual Control
To the right of the 10 playbacks is the manual control section, consisting of a Manual Fader, four
buttons (STOP, GO, FWD, BKWD) and an extra large GO button below the fader. This section
controls the current playback – that is the playback whose SELECT button is illuminated.
Pressing the SELECT button associated with a playback causes that playback to become the current
playback and hence to be controlled by the manual section.
When a playback is controlled by the manual section, the playbacks fader and buttons continue to
function as normal so that the HTP level can be set using the fader and the playback can be bumped
