Channel display mode showing alternating colored buttons to separate parameter groups and unlit buttons where there are no matching
on-screen parameters
Additionally, Channel Control buttons brighten to show that they have been pressed, or remain unlit and therefore without color when there is no corresponding parameter with a switch in the current channel display mode.
In-Line Channel Extension Buttons
Along the bottom of the Channel Control panel are 12 groups of six In-Line Channel Control Extension buttons that match the buttons at the bottom of the Channel LCD Monitor. These dedicated LED buttons are toggle switches for channel-specific controls like Insert, Select, Solo Safe, and Arm. In-Line Channel Control Extension buttons are always available, regardless of the channel control mode, and correspond with similar functions in the Mixer or Timeline track headers on the Fairlight page.
Insert: Insert In enables routing of up to six VST plugins or one hardware effect per channel from Blackmagic Design’s Fairlight audio interface hardware to outboard effects boxes and back again. This button can be toggled to enable/disable
insert routing.
Safe: This button toggles on Solo Safe mode the same as Command-Option-clicking a Solo button on the Fairlight page. Tracks set to Solo Safe will always play, even if Solo is enabled for other tracks, and are easily identified by the blue-highlighted Solo button.
Rec: Arms the track for recording. This is the same as clicking the Arm button [R] on the corresponding Timeline track header or Mixer channel strip on the Fairlight page Timeline. Tracks must be patched to a microphone or another source input prior
to arming.
Comp: Toggles on or off the channel compression.
Eq: Toggles on or off channel EQ.
Select: This button selects a channel in the Fairlight Console Channel Control bay and is the same as clicking a Timeline track header or channel strip in the Mixer on the Fairlight page. You can select multiple tracks by pressing additional Channel Select buttons.
