Multi Function Keys (MFKs)
The Multi Function Keys are arranged in 4 rows of 5 keys with a graphical
LCD above each row of keys. The brightness and contrast of the LCDs can be
adjusted as required.
Each Multi Function Key contains a red LED. These LEDs are used to
indicate which fixtures, groups etc. are selected depending on their current
function.
Pressing and releasing one of the Mode Keys changes the MFK‟s to that page
and the control wheels follow (when appropriate). The MFKs remain in that
mode until a different Mode key is pressed.
Pressing and holding down a Mode key temporarily changes all the MFKs to
that function. Selecting an MFK will apply that MFK but the MFKs will return to
the previous MFK mode, when the Mode key is released.
For example – Press and release the FIXTURES key. The MFKs change to
fixture selection keys. Select a number of fixtures. Press and hold down the
COLOUR key. The MFKs change to colour palette selection keys (while the
COLOUR key is being held down). Press one of the colour palette MFKs to
apply the colour palette to the selected fixtures. Release the COLOUR key
and the MFKs return to being fixture selection keys.
