8.3 Menu Keys

The keys to the left of the display simplify navigation, as they directly jump to specific areas.

PHONES

This key brings up the Phones 1 screen, where the output

level can be directly controlled with encoder 1, and the

signal source with encoder 2. Pressing PHONES again

changes to Phones 2.

The volume of Phones 1/2 can be adjusted directly with

encoder 1 and 2 when the level meter overview is shown in

the display. In that case there is no choice for the signal

source.

GROUPS

The key GROUPS brings up the group screen. Encoder 1 changes between Group All and

Group 1 to 4. Encoder 2 changes all gains of the corresponding group simultaneously. Their

relative values (the differences of gains between channels) are retained.

Group All

Current group settings are ignored, all 8 channels are affected by gain changes.

Group 1 to 4

The channels not assigned to any group are shown in light

gray to the left (channel number) and right (current gain).

The level meter is always active for all channels. The

OctaMic XTC has 8 channels, therefore no more than 4

groups with 2 channels each can be defined. The group

assignment is defined in the menu CHANNEL - Gain

Group.

Pressing encoder 2 activates the currently selected group,

another push activates the AutoSet function (AS) for this

group. Pressing the encoder a third time switches both

functions off.

CHANNEL

This key gives access to the settings of the analog inputs

Mic 1 to 8, and the analog outputs Phones 1 and 2.

SETUP

Direct access to Setups and Options, the latter having the

sub-pages Clock, MIDI Sources, General Settings, MADI

Settings and Digital Routing. A screenshot is shown on the

left page (chapter 8.2).
