1.3 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 capital-

ization (i.e., press the 

ANLG

 bank button). 

•  Touchscreen and console areas are represented by 

capital letters in plain type (i.e., press the 

PAN

 but-

ton 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 simul-

taneously selects that button and automatically 

deselects the previously selected button. One but-

ton 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.
