Basic Operation

The S100 panel has 100 button-per-source buttons arranged in four rows. The L64 panel has 64 button-per-source buttons arranged in four rows. The L32 panel has 32 button-per-source buttons arranged in two rows.

All of them have a cluster of buttons on the right for switching modes, and performing other operations.

The panels have two main modes of operation – “Take” mode and “Preset” mode. By default, the panels are in “Take” mode, which means that pressing a source button will immediately take that source to the selected destination. The previous source becomes the preset source, so it’s possible to toggle between the previous and current source by pressing the take button.

To switch to the “Preset” mode:

  • To switch to the “Preset” mode, press the “Preset” button in the top-right corner. In this mode, pressing a source button will make it the preset source (visible in the Preset OLED display, or in the Status display on the L32). The source is not routed to the destination until the Take button is pressed. Again, the previous source becomes the preset source, so it’s possible to toggle between the previous and current source by pressing the take button.
  • To change the selected destination, you can use the shortcut “Dest” button on the S100. For the other panels, press the “Menu” button, scroll to “Destination?” and press the “Take” button. You are now in the destination selection mode. Scroll up and down using the arrow buttons () to your desired destination, and press “Take” to select it. The Status OLED display will update to show the primary source and its levels routed to this destination. Additionally, if you are in “Take” mode, the selected source will update to show the currently selected source.
