switch the function of these faders to change other settings. 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. Any parameter adjustments made
with these faders will be displayed directly above on the LCD display.
4. Channel level metering (mono)
The 12-led showing the associated channel level.
5. Dual Function Encoders with Multi-Colour Surround LED
The dual functioned encoder acting as a push-button and a rotary control.
When an encoder is pressed, it may be used to change modes of operation
or to change what appears in the display above the channel strips. When an
encoder is rotated, depending on its assigned function, it can be used to adjust
a channel’s pan, send level, or plug-in parameters.
5a. Encoder LED
The 11-LED surrounding the encoder lights up to indicate the relative position of
the rotation without having to look at your computer. On Cubase, the colour of
the surround LED will change according to the controlling parameter.
6. Control buttons
Recording channel control buttons section
REC buttons - Activate and deactivate the recording state of the associated
channel. The switch will light red when the channel is armed.
SOLO buttons -
Turn On and Off the solo state of the associated channel.
The switch will light green when the channel solo state is on and other
channels will be muted. You could solo multiple channel by pressing SOLO
buttons on additional channels.
MUTE buttons - Activate and deactivate the mute state of the associated
channel. The switch will light blue when the channel is muted.
SEL buttons - The SEL buttons activate the associated channels in the DAW
software in order to perform a specific operation (for example, when adjusting
EQ with the ASSIGNABLE ENCODERS, the SEL switch will be used to choose
the channel you want to adjust). When a channel is selected, the associated
SEL switch's red LED will light up.
