When the “Key Auto Take” function is OFF in the User Preference Menu, you must use
the TAKE button to perform a “key” transition.
Use the following steps to mix a key up or down, when Key Auto Take is OFF:
1. Press KEY. The button blinks to indicate that a “key’ transition is pending. If
Menu Context is ON, the Key Setup Menu appears, enabling you to change the
key source or adjust key properties.
2. Press TAKE. The system mixes the key up or down, at the current transition rate.
Please note:
~ If the transition is a “key up,” the KEY button lights solid when the key is
fully on Program.
~ If the transition is a “key down,” the KEY button automatically turns off
when the key is fully off of Program.
Refer to the “Key Transition Combinations
” section on page 95 for descriptions of the
many key combinations that can be performed with the DCS-100.

When the “Key Auto Take” function is ON in the User Preference Menu, you do not need
to press TAKE to perform a “key” transition. The transition occurs immediately, once the
KEY button is pressed. In addition, if a source is pending, it remains pending after the
transition. There is no flip-flop.
Use the following steps to mix a key up or down, when Key Auto Take is ON:
1. Press KEY. The system immediately mixes the key up or down, at the current
transition rate. Please note:
~ If the transition is a “key up,” the KEY button blinks fast during the
transition interval, then lights solid when the key is fully on Program.
Note
Refer to the “User Preference” section on page 68 for details
on setting parameters in the User Preference Menu.
Important
When Key Auto Take is OFF, if a source is pending, you will
transition to the new source and add (or remove) the key
when TAKE is pressed. Source will flip-flop. If you do not
want to transition to a new source, simply press the blinking
source button to “un-pend” it.
