Hi guys,
Here's my thoughts on the channel screen: On the 500's, I was very comfortable with two screens making 400 channels. I really dig the zoom feature on the Eos. It is so much easier than changing your display resolution to see more/less channels. I will find a setting on the Eos that will give me something in that 400 channel neighborhood to be my standard Live screen look. When I program my own shows, I like to start with those 400 channels existing, but indicating an unpatched status. Then I am able to lay out my patch structure visually, with different systems in different areas of the screens. That way, until I have channel numbers memorized I only have to remember, say, that the cycs are in the bottom left, the ground row next to that, the fronts on top, washes in the middle, and so on. When working this way, I avoid deleting channels, as that shifts the grid around, mucking up my visual organization. Will (does) the flexichannel patched mode show all channels with an indication between patched and un, or is it only the channels that are patched with no fixed layout?
