change various settings (Windows only).
OUTPUT SETTING: Make settings for each output on this
page.

When you open the Settings Panel, it will have the same
state as when it was last closed, but the settings data is
not saved automatically. To save the settings of every
page (MIXER, INTERFACE and OUTPUT SETTING), use the

pull-down menus” on page 19 in this manual.

The signals input through each of the 16 channels are trans-
mitted to the computer without being affected by SOLO,
MUTE, PAN, and fader settings. For this reason, fader and
pan changes made in the Settings Panel will not alter the
signals sent to a DAW on the same computer.
