Blackmagic Fairlight Console Channel Control

The channel control module features 12 groups of touch sensitive rotary encoder knobs and illuminated buttons, each of which can be assigned to a single channel, the 12 adjacent fader channels or the master bus. When used in single channel mode, you get instant access to over 192 different parameters for the current selection. That means you don t have to take your hands off the panel or use the mouse to adjust EQ, dynamics and other settings! The LCD above provides visual feedback as you make adjustments. Channel display buttons on the sides let you select the channel display mode, while buttons at the bottom let you set insert in, solo safe, select, and arm for the active channel.

In-Line Channel Control Mode
Splits the knobs and buttons into 12 groups that line up vertically with the 12 faders below. This mode is perfect during live recording sessions because it allows you to easily see and control parameters of multiple microphone inputs simultaneously.

Single Channel Control Mode
Assigns all 12 groups of controls to a single channel, giving you instant access to 192 parameters for the selected track. This is the most common mode used in audio post production, as it provides quick access to all controls for a specific track.

Master Channel Control Mode
Master channel control mode utilizes all channel controls to adjust parameters for the master buses. The controls in master mode are organized from left to right in order of processing. Master mode is commonly used for mixing and mastering soundtracks.
