7.4 diamond VX - Channel Strip Page
The 'Channel Strip' page is divided into 8 vertical strips that provide an extension of the surface controls.
Two types of strip are supported: channel strips (above the faders) and master slots (above the central controls).
In the example below, there are 4 channel strips (on the left) and 4 master slots (on the right). If your surface is fitted with a
Combo module, or the faders are on the right of the central controls, then the layout can be modified using the
Combo
Module
and
Swap Slots
options (in the 'Settings
→
Surface' dialog box).
Channel Strip Elements
Each channel strip provides visual feedback for the source assigned to the fader.
Working from top to bottom, there are four areas: input metering, processing, bus routing and the source name / user
labels. For security reasons, it is not possible to change settings from these elements. For example, you cannot turn off an
EQ by touching its icon.
Input Metering
This area provides dedicated input metering for every fader strip. The user can decide to show peak metering, momentary
loudness or both using the
Channel Strip
option (in the 'Settings
→
Meters' dialog
box).
For more information about the metering scales and characteristics, see diamond - Metering.
