Chapter 19: Assignable Controls
(I Zone)
This chapter describes the assignable controls (I zone) of the master bay and shows
you how to use them to operate the internal effects and GEQs of the PRO Series, and
also any of its control knob functions on the control surface.
About the I zone
The assignable controls section on the control surface — or “I zone” — has full GUI
support (master bay GUI screen only) and operates in one of two ways:
• Controlling any rotary on the control surface You can assign any of the control
knobs (rotaries) on the control surface — and also any belonging to the internal
effects — to any control knob in the I zone.
• Operating an internal rack unit of the PRO Series You can adjust the critical
controls of an internal effect or GEQ rack unit via the I zone.
Although you can switch back and forth easily between the two methods, the I zone
gives precedence to the rack unit assignments.

Controlling a rotary control
This is an important function of the I zone, which lets you control any of the control
knob functions on the control surface, such as gain trim (input fast strips),
compressor/gate threshold (channel strip) and level (output fast strips), and even the
internal effects. This means you can have quick access to the controls that are
currently the most useful to you.
Additionally, you can assign the tap function of the Delay effect to an LCD button in the
I zone, which lets you set a delay time manually. For details, see “To manually set the
tap time of an effect” on page 189.
