6.1 diamond - Control Surface Overview
diamond
comes in a range of flexible sizes and layouts, scaling from 2 to 60 physical faders. The smallest frame consists of
a single module (2-fader Combo). This can
be expanded
by adding 4-fader modules to increase the width, and/or extension
modules to increase the depth. Optionally, the Virtual Extension (VX) can be added to either standard or extended frames.
The images below show three examples.
Configurable Functions
For each control surface module, some of the functionality is fixed and some is configurable.
All configurable functions are defined by the system configuration. This is stored on Power Core and read during boot-up.
A
standard configuration
is included with every console. The configuration can be edited using the ON-AIR Designer
software and uploaded to Power Core via the network. The configuration possibilities are extensive and include the
definition of audio inputs and outputs; sources and sum busses; signal processing; logic; and control key functions.
Control keys that are configurable are known as MF (Multi-Function) keys. In most cases, the small MF keys are labeled by
the electronic displays while the large MF keys use foil-printed labels. By default, the control surface ships with the correct
labels for the standard configuration functions. If you change the MF key functionality, then you will need to exchange the
foil-printed labels. See Exchanging the MF Key Labels.
