Important:
Both the
Faders
and
Knobs
are enabled with “soft takeover.” This means that if you
switch BANKs, a Fader or knob will not work until it is positioned at the current value of the
newly selected software control. For example, if you move
Fader 1
in BANK 1 and then switch to
BANK 2, physical
Fader 1
will not affect software Fader 10 until the physical Fader is positioned
at the current value of software Fader 10. This feature allows you to make changes in one BANK
and then switch BANKs without making unwanted changes to the new BANK’s controls. The
Display
will show a checkered value meter if a
Fader
or
Knob
needs to be moved before it can
“take over” its assigned control.
Important:
In Avid Pro Tools, stereo tracks have two panning controls: left and right. Press the
SHIFT
button to switch the knobs between the left channel and right channel. If the pan controls
aren't moving on a mono track, press the
SHIFT
button to change pan knob back to controlling
the pan control normally.
