Custom Controls
Once programmed, a custom control (CC) can be played back by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register, changing the gain on multiple faders, and triggering an external device.

Operation
How to perform audio mixes, memories and custom controls.
- Audio Mixer
  The audio mixer node in DashBoard provides a graphical interface to all the audio sources and mixer layers. Audio sources can come from the embedded SDI, analog, MADI, or network AoIP (Dante®).
- Memory Functions
  A memory register is a snapshot of the current state of the audio mixer. Up to 100 memory registers can be stored and recalled on the system.
- Sets
  The system stores configuration and operation data in a number of registers that contain the individual entries for items such as memories or custom control settings. These registers can be stored as a single archive file, or as a register set that contains all the individual register of that type; all memories for example. These files are stored into Sets on a USB drive. Different Sets can be created for different shows or applications, allowing you to quickly locate and recall the system configurations.
- Custom Controls
  Once programmed, a custom control (CC) can be played back by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register, changing the gain on multiple faders, and triggering an external device.

To Record a Custom Control

A basic custom control records a series of events that are played out in the same order they are recorded.

Click Navigation Menu > Custom Control > Editor.
Click a Bank button to select the bank that the custom control you want to record will be stored on.
Click a Macro button to select the custom control that you want to record to. If the custom control already has a macro recorded, the name of the custom control is shown in the list.

Tip:
You can rename both the custom control and the bank by entering a new name in the field next to the record button.
Click Record.
Insert the events you want to record.

Each custom control can have a maximum of 998 events, plus the End event.

Note:
When the system runs a custom control, it attempts to execute each event in the custom control as quickly as possible. If an event takes time to complete, the event may not be complete before the system attempts to execute the next event. For example, if your custom control has a memory recall followed by a level change, a pause should be added between the memory recall and the gain applied to ensure that the memory is fully recalled before the change is performed. The same applies if you want to add events after gain is applied.
Click Stop Recording to finish recording.

Tip:
Click Cancel if you do not want to store your events to the custom control.
