1. Channel faders
The eight 100mm motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track
volume of your DAW. They are all touch sensitive to allow override automation
the moment you touch a fader. Also, they are motorized; they will automatically
move to reflect the current level of the selected channels in your DAW
application. Any automation recorded in a project will be reflected by the fader
positions.
2. Knobs
The eight rotary encoder knobs are generally used for controlling the track pan
position, aux send levels and EQ of your DAW. You may also preset them to
adjust specific parameters within plug-ins and virtual instruments.
( Note: Due to the sofwtare issue, some of these functions such as “Plug-ins”
is not able to use on the Platform X+ when it is connect as a extender unit with
