6.21 diamond - Working with Extension Modules
The diamond surface supports three extension modules that can be used to extend the fader strip and central controls.
Rotary Extension
- 16 x rotary controls (with control keys).
Key Extension
- 64 control keys.
Combo Extension
- 8 x rotary controls (with control keys) + 32 control keys.
The modules can be fitted to the upper slots in an extended frame, or to a standard frame / lower slot if a special mounting
bar is installed. In each case, the
are defined by the configuration. The images below show some examples.

* Physically, the two
Rotary Extension
modules are identical. However, their operation varies according to the slot IDs
defined in the configuration. There are two possibilities: a
Rotary Fader Extension
adds 4 sets of controls to each fader
strip, while a
Rotary Central Extension
can be freely configured for central functions.
The slot allocations can be checked by opening the "Frames
→
Surface" configuration in the ON-AIR Designer.
When using blind plates, the slot above the frame's connector board must be fitted with an actual module (and not a blind
plate). This
is important in a single module-width frame (1 ME), where the connector board position is fixed (in the upper
slot position).
