13.16 LED brightness
To modify the brightness of the LEDs, press CTRL and adjust the bottom left encoder.
Note that the brightness of the LEDs can only be adjusted from full to dim - they can not be turned off
completely. This ensures that there is always an indication that the console is powered.
13.17 Locking the console
The console supports a simple locking mode to avoid accidental button presses affecting the output or
programmed data. Press CTRL and the button associated with the top left encoder to lock / unlock the
console. The console will not accept any button presses while it is unlocked.
A more advanced password system will be included in future software releases.
13.18 Button test mode
The console supports a button test mode for checking suspect buttons and faders. To enter button test mode
press the two SHIFT buttons either side of the touch screen together (i.e. hold one down and press the other).
In button test mode the buttons do not have their usual function - instead when pressed a message will be
displayed in the status display indicating which button has been pressed. Faders and encoders also can be
tested in a similar way.
In button test mode the Window shows a map of all the buttons, encoders and faders. When a button is
pressed the map turns green to indicate that the button has been pressed and released o.k. For encoders
it turns green when the encoder has been turned both ways. For faders it turns green when the fader has
been lowered to 0 and raised to full.
To test LEDs, enter button test mode and then press CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 to test the different colour
LEDs. Press CTRL 0 to go back to normal state of the LEDs.
