Terminology and Conventions
The following terms and conventions are used throughout this manual.
• Touchscreen and console controls are represented in bold type using their
exact spelling and capitalization (i.e., press the ANLG bank button).
• Touchscreen and console areas are represented by capital letters in plain
type (i.e., press the PAN button in the V-POT CONTROL area).
•
Activate
pertains to switches/buttons that toggle between two values and
means “press the button until it lights.”
•
Deactivate
pertains to switches/buttons that toggle between two values and
means “press the button until it is not lit.”
•
ADC
means analog-to-digital converter
•
DAC
means digital-to-analog converter
•
Intercancel
means that pushing one button simultaneously selects that button
and automatically deselects the previously selected button. One button is
always active. For example, the Bank Select buttons intercancel.
Radio
button
is another term often used to describe this behavior, originating
from the push buttons that selected radio stations in pre-1960s cars.
The Touchscreen is a new interface to most audio engineers that requires some
new terminology.
•
Touch
pertains to selection on the Touchscreen (i.e., Touch the EQ button).
•
Select
describes touching a button or checkbox such that it is
activated
. This
allows a single instruction to describe this action without knowing the
control’s previous state. For example, if the control is
not
selected, touching
the control once selects it. If it is already selected, no action is required.
