Owner’s Manual

Using the I zone to control an internal effect/GEQ

As the internal effects and GEQs of the PRO Series are primarily GUI-only features,

control surface support is provided by the I zone, which lets you operate their

parameters using physical controls.

With an internal rack unit selected at the master bay GUI, a set of its parameter

controls will be automatically assigned to the I zone. Each individual set of I zone

controls will have its own single control assignment. To encompass all of a rack unit’s

parameter controls they are bundled into sets — known as ‘pages’ for effects and

‘groups’ for GEQs — which are navigated using the I zone’s arrow buttons.

About the assignable controls panel on the GUI

The assignable controls panel is displayed at the bottom of the effect/GEQ window

(output bay GUI only). It gives a pictorial representation of the I zone and displays

additional information, such as button and control knob assignments, current ‘page’

number etc. This panel also provides an alternative method of operating the I zone

controls.

The following diagram explains the elements of the assignable controls panel. It

uses the one for the effects as a example, but this also applies to the GEQs.

Item Description

I zone, in the format: [page number]/[total number of pages]. For
