This topic describes how to address the user buttons when assigning a custom function.

Fader User Buttons

When programming a Fader User Button, xxx function, you will need to specify the user button number (from 1 to 16).

The image below shows the button numbering (for the first page).

The remaining pages are numbered in a similar manner:

  • Page 1 = User 1 to 4 (as shown above).
  • Page 2 = User 5 to 8
  • Page 3 = User 9 to 12
  • Page 4 = User 13 to 16

Central User Buttons

When programming a Central User Button, xxx function, you can choose one of the following Userbutton Types.

  • Monitoring Panel - the touch-screen buttons on the MONITORING panel (in the centre section) and Central GUI side panel (in MONITORING mode).
  • User Panel 40 button - the optional 40-button user panel that can be fitted to the centre section.
  • Central User Button - the buttons on the CENTRAL USER BUTTON panel (in the centre section).
  • Talkback Panel - the buttons on the TALKBACK panel (in the centre section).

The rest of this topic describes the button numbering for each option.

Monitoring Panel

This panel type addresses the touch-screen buttons on the MONITORING panel (in the centre section) and Central GUI side panel (in MONITORING mode).

MONITORING Panel (centre section)

On the main MONITORING panel, there are nine user buttons (beside MON 3) that are not included in the layering. These are addressed using Panel Index 3 and Userbutton Index numbers 1 to 9. They are shown in yellow in the images below.

Please note:

  • It is important to check the current functionality as, by default, some of the buttons are programmed for monitoring functions such as switching the MON 3 control between the headphone outputs.
  • While it is possible to assign functions onto the layered buttons, this is not recommended as, by default, the layered pages are used for monitor source selection.

The image below shows the button numbering for the physical layer.

The image below shows the button numbering for the layered pages.

Monitoring Side Panels (on the Central GUI)

On the Central GUI side panel, there are two sets of user buttons that appear on the CRM 1 and CRM 2 pages.

On the CRM 1 page, they are addressed using Panel Index 5 and Userbutton Index numbers 1 to 9.

On the CRM 2 page, use Panel Index 6 and Userbutton Index numbers 1 to 9.

User Panel 40 Button

This panel type addresses the 40-button user panel that can be fitted to the user panel slots in the centre section.

If a single user panel is fitted, then Panel Index 1 should be used. If two panels are fitted, then use Panel Index 1 (for the upper panel) and Panel Index 2 (for the lower panel) as follows.

Central User Button

This panel type addresses the buttons on the CENTRAL USER BUTTON panel (in the centre section).

If there is no page switching, then Panel Index 1 should be used.

If page switching is configured, then the pages are addressed as follows:

  • Physical Layer = Panel Index 1
  • Page 1 = all buttons, Panel Index 2
  • Page 2 = all buttons, Panel Index 3
  • etc.

Talkback Panel

This panel type addresses the buttons on the TALKBACK panel (in the centre section).

In this instance, all buttons are addressed using Panel Index 1.
