contains Input Meters for all MADI channels in the system and can be used for
navigation within Live Rack.

Input Meters
Each vertical green meter indicates input signals that are present in the associated MADI
channel. The Meter Bridge automatically expands to display additional MADI channels
when two, three, and/or four Live Rack hardware units are connected to the system.
Shortcut: Single-click the Input Meters to enter the most recently selected bank
view.
Additional (empty) MADI channels can be manually added to the Meter Bridge by
clicking the “+” button at View Menu>Settings>Hardware Tab. This provision is typically
used to add empty MADI channels so offline setups can be configured.
Mono/Stereo
A dual/split meter indicates two channels are stereo linked. When a dual/split meter is
shown, the meter represents the left and right channels of the stereo signal.

•
Jump to any channel – Double click any channel’s Input Meter in the Meter
Bridge to jump directly to Channel View and select the channel.
