About the Faders and Joystick
The faders and joystick always control some
aspect of the audio, no matter what mode the
960L is in. It is the active control mode that
determines which audio parameters are
controlled. This table shows the mapping.

Soft-Button Labels identify the currently available soft
buttons. The currently active button is highlighted with a
red outline. Buttons with grey backgrounds will cause a
context change; those with yellow backgrounds cause
an immediate action. Buttons with blank legends do
nothing.
The System Status Display is present in all screens. In
Figure 2-4, it shows that the current sample rate is
48kHz, that the wordclock source is internally
generated, and that the 960L is locked to that clock
source. On the line below, we see that the 960L is
configured as two machines, and that Machine 1 is
currently selected for editing. If a machine is muted, the
machine number is overlaid with a red flashing "M". If
all available machines are muted, the machine bar is
overlaid with a red flashing "ALL MUTED" message. If
the word clock was external (via either the AES input
1-2 or the BNC Wordclock input), the padlock symbol
would show the state of wordclock lock. If lock was lost,
the padlock box would flash red and the 960L outputs
would automatically mute.
The Joystick Status Display is also present in all
screens. In Figure 2-4, it gives the joystick position and
the resulting Shape and Spread values. The
parameters currently assigned to the joystick and their
settings are listed in two boxes to the left of the Joystick
Map. The small colored dot at the center of the map
shows those parameter settings graphically. The dot is
red if the joystick is not active and green if it is. The
cursor shows the Joystick’s current position. Pressing
the JOYSTICK Button on the LARC2 control surface
sets the parameters to the joystick’s current position
and activates the joystick.
The V-Page legend in the Joystick Status Display
indicates that the joystick is set to a V-page, or virtual
page, a Program- or Register-specific collection of
parameters and settings assigned to the faders and
joystick. (See Chapter 3, Basic Operation and Chapter
4, Operations in Detail.)
Fader labels are in the Scribble Strip just above the Soft
Button Labels. These display the parameters currently
assigned to each fader, and their settings.When a fader
is touched, the associated parameter is highlighted in
yellow.
