hey guys, what's that thing on my console that looks like a gear shift? And what is it supposed to? It looks kind of neat but does it do anything really cool?
Photon torpedo? Transporter?

Push it forward for more thrust !

Only works with top gun glasses on though ;)

And if it's the other kind of bar then make mine a pint ;)

I'm taking it that you are joking -
If not that is your X-Ray bar that will reveal and hide your plug-ins etch...  that you are using with your project.

X-Ray bar ? That's crazy talk !

Nope. I'm serious. But....... just curious and too lazy to look it up. I've had this system for years and just never bothers with that particular feature. Thanks!. I like the main thrusters answer the best. I actually have many many hours on this thing, but never used that.

It's really for Front / Rear balance when surround mixing, and controlling video crossfades when you're hooked up to video edit equipment. The X-ray control is like a little extra thing they threw in.
 
To my mind, it's part of the over-speccing that held it back, commercially. A lower priced version without the video link features or the Fantom synth would have done a lot better I reckon.

I think you're exactly right about the overreac John.
Too bad it sunk the flagship.
