CUE LCD Function
So far we've been monitoring channel 9 using the MIX CUE mode.
In this mode, the channel selected using the [SEL] buttons is moni-
tored. When the CUE LCD function is selected, however, operation
is a little different, as we shall see.
1. Press [CUE].
The sound is cut, all [SEL] button LEDs go OFF, and the CUE LCD
function shown below appears.
The message "Select a channel to CUE" tells us that ProMix 01 is wait-
ing for us to select the channels that we want to monitor.
2. Press channel 9's [SEL] button.
The sound reappears, channel 9's [SEL] button LED comes ON, and
various information about channel 9 is displayed. The signal level is
displayed by the meter to the right.
MIX CUE mode allows you to monitor a pre-fader CUE mix of
selected channels. The [SEL] buttons are used to add and remove
channels. The [SEL] button LEDs indicate which channels are
selected for the CUE mix. Information about the channel last added
or removed is displayed on the CUE LCD function.
Since we're using only channel 9 for the moment, pressing other
channels' [SEL] buttons won't do much more than cause their [SEL]
button LEDs to light up. You may want to connect a different sound
source to another input channel to try out MIX CUE mode.
As well as MIX, there are two more CUE modes: LAST CUE and ST
FIX. We'll use ST FIX in the next section. See the User's Guide for full
details on all CUE modes.
There is another CUE mode called LAST CUE. CUE is also affected
by the GROUP LCD function. See the User's Guide for more details.
