9.5 Controlling Your Mix from Your Controller
Your controller provides a dedicated Mix mode. The Mix mode provides an overview of your
channels via a mixing desk layout, similarly to the Mixer in the software’s Mix view (see section
↑
9.2, The Mixer ).
The Mix mode on your controller and the Mix view in the software are independent from
each other: Switching views in the software does not switch the mode on your controller,
and inversely — for example, you can use your controller in Mix mode while displaying
the Arrange view in the software.
►
Press MIXER to enter or leave Mix mode on your controller.
When Mix mode is active, the MIXER button is lit.
In Mix mode the displays show channel strips for your Sounds and Groups:
9.5.1 Navigating Your Channels in Mix Mode
Like the Mixer in the software, the Mix mode lets you choose to display channel strips at the
Group level (i.e. all your Groups) or at the Sound level (i.e. all Sound slots of the Group current-
ly focused).
At both levels channels are organized into groups of eight channels (four on each display).
►
Use the Page buttons at the left of the displays to show the next/previous eight channels
(Sounds:
1 – 8 and 9 – 16 ; Groups: A1 – H1 , A2 – H2 , etc.).
Setting the Focus on a Channel (Sound or Group)
►
To put the focus on any of the displayed channels (Sounds or Groups), press the But-
ton 1–8 above the desired strip in the displays.
→
The focused channel is highlighted.
