| Yes you can double-up inputs using shift on an I-PAC |

It could attach to the keyboard connection of the I-Pac... Just an idea, but if it could be made more cheaply than the I-Pac, it would sell as an add on, I would think. --- End quote --- You can chain another i-pac to an i-pac, hack a keyboard and connect that to the passthrough or even chain a keywiz to the i-pac to get this functionality. Or, you could just buy an i-pac4 right off the bat and use the extra buttons for housekeeping instead of players 3 & 4. |

It depends on how the panel is wired. If the panel is wired properly, you can very effectively control which inputs are allowed to shift. RandyT |

RandyT --- End quote --- Actually, it doesn't have anything to do with the wiring, the panel is totally and completely shifted when the shift key is pressed exactly like I stated. The solution is in the programming. You can control this problem by programming the non-shifted and shifted function of action buttons to be the same keystroke. However, this also limits the number of "useful" shifted functions you can have. Edit: on second thought, wiring does play a small part, you have to choose appropriate functions to wire the "housekeeping" buttons to... |

"single click" buttons, of which you can have many of. Upon pressing any of those buttons, it will effectively shut out, not shift, as many of your controls as you wish....even all of them if you'd like, depending upon their place or their presence in the chain.

Is that feature new? I don't recall that being there previously... I stand corrected, thanks for the update! :) And what makes you so sure I don't own one? ::) |
