Central Assignable Controls
A source can be brought to the center section strip in the
CM401-T Master Module either from one of the strips, by
pressing the Wave key, or by selecting a channel from the
32 keys on the optional CM402-T Sub-Master module. These
32 keys, together with source names and ON keys, are located
just above the 8 assignable faders and can scroll through
all the channels and control groups on the console. Once
a strip has been brought to the center, control is exactly
the same as on a strip elsewhere on the console. The CM402-T
module, as shown below, has 40 extra knobs together with
more displays and switches that are available for expanded
EQ, Dynamics, Aux, Input, Group and Mix bus controls. The
screen at the top shows extra metering and larger graphs
for EQ and Dynamics.

Control Groups
Up to 48 control groups are available. They act just like
VCA or DCA control groups with functions such as nested groups
and coalesce. These groups may be brought up on a Strip anywhere
on the console as well as on the 8 central Assignable Strip
faders. System 5 control groups include all channel functions
which
is very useful as it allows overall master level control
of
sets of pans, EQ and aux sends.
8 Assignable Strip Faders
At the bottom of the optional CM402-T are 8 faders. These can be assigned to
control any channel, control group or multi-format master.

These 32 buttons in the optional CM402-T module make it
very easy to move around the console from the sweet spot.
The display shows the channel name, and the right button
beneath each display selects this channel to the center strip.

The left button can act as an On/Off or a Solo button. The Page
keys at the bottom allow the 32 buttons to page to more
channels. These controls may also be switched to select
control groups
