Setting the Key Lock function to ON allows operation of the following keys to be disabled: the D-2012C’s operation panel-mounted function keys (except the Key Lock key), motorized faders, rotary encoders, Monitor Channel Selection keys, and Channel ON/OFF keys.

[When Enabling the Key Lock Function]
Holding down the Key Lock key for approximately 5 seconds while it is unlit causes the depressed key to light and enables the Key Lock function. In this event, the key lock indicator lights. While the Key Lock function is enabled, any key pressed other than the Key Lock key does not change status and remains lit or unlit. If a motorized fader is moved, it returns to its original position if the fader is released. Also, if a rotary encoder is rotated, the LEDs that indicate volume do not change.

[When Disabling the Key Lock Function]
Holding down the Key Lock key for approximately 5 seconds while the Key Lock key is lit causes the depressed key to go out and disables the Key Lock function. In this event, the key lock indicator goes out.
Note
The figure shows an example in which “Key lock” has been assigned to Function key 8.

Monitor channel clear
This function clears the selection of all the monitor channels assigned to the monitor bus to which the D- 2012C in operation is connected.

[Operation]
If the Monitor Clear key is pressed, the selection of monitor channels is cleared and the depressed key lights.

Note
The figure shows an example in which “Monitor clear” has been assigned to Function key 3.

Monitoring
Output of the channel being operated using the D-2012C Remote Console’s motor faders or rotary encoders can be monitored.

Notes

• Set the identical ID number for the D-2008SP and D-2012C to be connected through monitor bus terminals.
  Use the D-2000 Setting Software to set the ID number.

• Properly perform connections and settings for the D-2008SP’s monitor input/output channels. For connections and settings, refer to the separate installation manual.
  Audio signals for the channel where monitor audio signal routing is not performed cannot be monitored even if selected.

• Monitor channel selection keys do not perform grouping operation

• Step 1. When two or more fader layers are in use, select the fader layer that allows operation of the channel to be monitored.
  Fader layers can be switched through operation of the function key assigned to Fader Layers 1 – 4. (Refer to p. 20.)

• Step 2. Set the Monitor channel selection key for the channel to be monitored to ON.
  The level of the selected output can be confirmed by means of the monitor signal indicator.

• Step 3. Connect headphones to the Headphone jack and adjust the volume using the monitor volume control knob.

Operation
Only the D-2008SP’s channels to which the D-984VC module is connected can be controlled.

Volume adjustment
Volume of the channel assigned to the D-984VC using the D-2000 Setting software can be adjusted using the D-911’s input fader or output volume control knob.

Notes
• For channels with stereo link or group settings established at the D-2008SP, only the lowest numbered channel in the preset link or group is enabled.
• Fader position “10” of the D-911 provides the channel gain set by the D-2008SP. As a guide, fader position “8” provides channel gain about 10 dB lower than the set gain at the D-2008SP.

Contact control
Preset memory recall, Volume level up and down functions can be assigned to the D-984VC’s contacts using the D-2000 Setting Software.
Assigned functions can be implemented by pressing the Control keys 1 – 8.
