Hello, just a question: what's the function of the 3 blue swop buttons situated under each control wheels?
Thanks to answer me.
Alex.

Short answer: none at all - yet.

The thing is: when designing the hardware, one tries to make it 'future-proof', thus designing more buttons and such than are actually used in the current software. This way you're ready for future releases.

My guess only: it would be something like the '@' buttons on the Diamond 4.

This is actually strange to me, it was so apparent to me what they were for before I bought the console: I thought they were for setting numerical values to whatever the encoder was doing. For example: If the encoder was controlling Cyan, then you could press the blue button near it and then press "60" and "enter" and you'd have your cyan attribute at 60%

I would love to have this function. You could also maybe have it so if you press the button once, you're inputting a percentage, and if you press the button a second time you're inputting a dmx value.

The design is for numeric input but it has not been implemented yet. However, it is a high priority feature for future version.
