===== Fader Views =====
There are various fader views for the fader strips available. Below you find documentation of all available fader views. The selected fader view is always the same on all fader channels.
Every fader view is structured the same way and can be split into the following functional areas:
{{:sx2:fader-strip-view.png|}}
* **1:** ''Channel On'' Indication: red when the channel is on.
* **2:** DSP Plugin and AUX routing indication. Visibility depends on the selected fader strip view.
* ''EQ'': Indicator is blue when EQ or SubSonic are on
* ''Dyn'': Indicator is green when Compressor or Limiter is on.
* ''Aux 1'' & ''Aux 2'': Indicator is orange if channel is routed to the AUX bus.
* **3:** Optional touch button area. Can contain bus routing or access key, depending on selected fader strip view.
* **4:** An area, where the upper key and encoder functions of the hardware are labeled and mirrored. Can also be used to control the assigned functionality via touch input. See [[sx2:fader_modules|SX2 - Fader Modules]].
* **5:** Hidden layer channel name and On/Off state (only if Layer B is configured. See [[sx2:channel_assignment|Channel Assignment]]).
* **6:** Channel Name and channel on indication (grey/red bar)

===== Console View =====
In the ''Console View'' Area, you can see a preview of the console layout, TFT Displays, and keys. Also, key function configuration is done here: simply click on the key you want to edit.
===== Key Elements =====
^ option ^ description ^
|Number|Shows the generated number of the selected key: .Key|
|Function|Shows the assigned key function.\\ To change the default key function of a key, follow these steps:\\ 1. Select a key on the console view.\\ 2. In the ''View'' menu, select ''Key Functions''. The ''Key Functions'' window opens.\\ 3. In the ''Key Functions'' window select a Key Function from the list and click ''Select''.|
|Label|Enter a name for the key. This name will be shown in the Console View and will be available for the label print feature.|
|Colors|Depending on the selected key function, you can define here, with which color the key shall light up according to the lamp source.'' On'' is the color if the function is enabled, ''Off'' if the function is in the inactive condition. For the last case, mostly the ''Off'' option is used, for example, the key does not light up. Depending on the selected key function, you find also different names in the ''Lamp Source'' column, for example ''Standby'', ''Available'', ''Busy'', ''Owned'', ''Layer A'', ''Layer B'' or the name of the selected'' lamp source''. \\ You can define the colors red and yellow. You can define flashing colors for the keys. Select the check box, in the ''Colors'' area. \\ To change the logic source for a color, select an entry in the ''Lamp Source'' column and click ''Source''. The ''Logic Sources'' window opens. In the ''Logic Sources'' window, select a logic source from the list and click ''Assign''.|
|Toggle Mode|''Momentary ''- The function is enabled as long as the key is pressed.\\'' Toggle ''- This key is stay put.\\'' Timed Toggle ''- This key is stay put (short press) or spring return (long press).|
===== Central section keys =====
**Note**\\ Keys in the central section on the 52-5614 are always fixed in their function and can not be configured. Function details such as audio sources can be configured.
==== Overbridge Keys - Login, Load Default ====
Press the ''Login'' Key,
Press the ''Load Default'' key,
==== Monitoring keys - Extern, Selector, Program 1====
Press the ''Extern'' key, to monitor a preconfigured audio source. This source can be any audio source, that is available in the mixing system. To set the audio source for this key, follow these steps:
- In the Consol View, select the Extern key (key 8).
- In the ''Key Options'' area, click the ''Select'' button, next to the ''Left Source'' box, the ''Audio Sources'' window opens.
- In the ''Audio Sources'' window, select an audio source and click ''Assign''.
- Now you can select the audio source for the right channel and drag it directly to the ''Right Source'' box.
Press the ''Selector'' key, to monitor an audio source which can be selected during operation via the TFT Touch Display. This source can be any audio source, that is available in the mixing system. To set the audio source for this key, follow these steps:
Press the ''Program 1'' key, to monitor the Program Bus 1.
==== General Purpose keys - GP1, GP2 ====
You can configure these keys as User defined Key or Potentiometer key.
User-defined:
* By right-clicking'' (not assigned) ''in the ''Lamp Source'' column, you can either select the key itself as a source or select any source from the ''logic sources'' window.
* You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or routing to GPOs.
* You can change the sequence of the three rows in the Colors area. Drag a row in the ''Lamp Source'' column to its new priority place.
* The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
* The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalization via GPIs.
Potentiometer:
* In the ''Potentiometer'' list you can choose from virtual potentiometers, which can be assigned to an encoder in your central module by pressing this key.
* In the ''Encoder'' list you can choose the encoder to which the virtual potentiometer will be assigned. (F1=upper encoder, F2=lower encoder)
All available virtual potentiometers and their function are shown in the following table:
^potentiometer^function^
|Monitor 2|set volume for signal "Monitor 2"|
|HP 2|set volume for signal "HP 2"|
|Monitor 3|set volume for signal "Monitor 3"|
|Monitor 4|set volume for signal "Monitor 4"|
|CUESPLIT|set the ratio between the PFL signal and the monitoring signal|
|CUE/TB|set volume for the speaker in the central module|
|AUX 1|set volume for bus "AUX1", Aux 1 Master settings are also available via AUX Master view on the TFT Touch screen|
|AUX 2|set volume for bus "AUX 2", Aux 2 Master settings are also available via AUX Master view on the TFT Touch screen|
==== Talk Keys - Talk 1, Talk 2 ====
You can configure these keys only as User Defined Key.
User-defined:
* By right-clicking'' (not assigned) ''in the ''Lamp Source'' column, you can either select the key itself as a source or select any source from the ''logic sources'' window.
* You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or Talkback.
* You can change the sequence of the three rows in the ''Colors'' area. Drag a row in the ''Lamp Source'' column to its new priority place.
* The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
* The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalization via GPIs.
===== Fader Keys =====
You can choose the key function of all fader related keys per channel. SX2 has 4 fader related keys: 2 below and 2 above the fader.
The fader keys above the fader are labeled within the associated TFT section (See [[sx2:fader_modules|Fader Modules]] for more Information).
The fader keys below the fader are labeled using the delivered label stickers (See [[sx2:fader_modules|Fader Modules]] for more Information).
**Note**\\ Fader related keys have always the same key function for all channels.
To configure the Key function follow these steps:
- Click the fader key you want to configure. On the right-hand side, the key configuration options open.
- Click ''Function'' to select the designated key function. See the list of available Key functions below.
- Label the key using the ''Text'' field. On the 2 keys above the fader, this value will be used on the TFT, too.
- (optional) Some key functions require a ''Toggle Mode'' setting:
- If ''momentary'' is selected, the key will only be active when it is pressed.
- If ''Toggle'' is selected, a first press will turn the key function on. The key will be turned off when the key is pressed again.
- If ''Timed Toggle'' is selected, the keys operation mode will depend on the time duration it is pressed. If the key is pressed short, it is toggled. A short press again will release the key. If you press and hold the key, the key will act as momentary.
- In the ''lamp source'' section, all states can be configured with a matching color.
