Programing 

Transport

 BUTTONS 

follows the exact same procedure.

TIP:

 This can be very useful to control the Mutes on your Audio/Sequencing program. Most Pro and Semi Pro Audio/Sequencing 

programs will allow you the option to control various functions of the program from an external controller, in this example, 
controlling the Mutes on your virtual mixer. (See your Program’s manual for details.)  Each 

BUTTON

  can behave like a 

Latch,  

used in this 

Mute

 example 

(SWITCH MODE),

 or like a 

Momentary (PUSH MODE) 

switch. A  

Momentary switch

  will only function 

when the 

BUTTON

 is held down. This is very useful for the 

Fwd BUTTON

 and 

Rew BUTTON 

in the 

Transport 

section.
