channel faders. The LCD displays the selected
send for each channel.
Plug-in Flip Mode When in Channel View and

moves any plug-in control assignments from
the rotary encoders to the faders, letting you use
the touch-sensitive faders to edit and automate
plug-in control values.

igation keys) displays Master Fader tracks or
