ALLEN & HEATH Avantis [12/20] Screens

Avantis Getting Started Guide

AP11558 Issue 4

6.2 Screens

Avantis has two screens, both showing channel processing, bank overview, system setup & status, memory

management menus and more.

Each touchscreen integrates with a trio of user-configurable soft rotaries in addition to a Touch & Turn rotary

control for quick and easy parameter modification.

Both screens operate independently of each other so, for example, two discrete channel processing

screens can be visible simultaneously, or processing can be visible on one screen with IO patching visible

on the other.

1. Screen Mode

Select the Screen Mode:

• Bank – Overview of all channels assigned to the fader Bank and Layer. Bank

view can be used with the Copy, Paste, Reset, Freeze and Listen keys.

In Bank view, touching any processing block – for example, a PEQ, Gate or

Comp curve – opens the relevant Processing page.

• Processing – Access channel processing for the currently selected channel

multiple channels

customisable meter views.

diagnostics, fader, and screen calibration, and MIDI options.
