Selecting Channels
Ion provides interactive ways to select channels including the control keypad and direct selects. Ion
makes it possible to select channels by one method and add to the selection using other methods.
Channels are deselected when any action is taken on the keypad that is unrelated to manual
control, such as recording groups and cues, or updating a record target, etc. You can also press
[Clear] after a terminated command line to clear the channel selection.
Select Channels From the Keypad
The keypad defaults to selecting channels, therefore no channel key is provided. Channels may be
selected on the control keypad using the [+], [-], and [thru] keys for consecutive or non-consecutive
channel selection.
The following examples illustrate various methods of selecting channels from the control keypad:
• [5] [Enter] - selects channel 5.
• [5] [+] [7] [Enter] - selects non-consecutive channels 5 and 7.
• [5] [thru] [9] [Enter]- selects channels 5 through 9.
• [2] [thru] [8] [-] [5] [Enter] - selects a range of channels 2 through 8, except channel 5.
• [-] [6] [Enter] - removes channel 6 from the current selection list.
• [+] [1] [Enter] - adds channel 1 to the current list of channels.
Note:
You may use [+] and [-] multiple times to add or remove multiple channels from
the selection. [Thru] lists may be entered in ascending or descending order.
