13.2.1 Displaying Groups vs. Displaying Sounds
The Mixer provides two display modes, allowing you to focus on the current context:
▪ Group level: The Mixer shows channel strips for all Groups of your Project.
▪ Sound level: The Mixer shows channel strips for all Sound slots in the focused Group.
Both display modes are described in the following paragraphs.
If the MASCHINE window is too small to display all channel strips, an horizontal scroll bar ap-
pears at the bottom of the Mixer to navigate to the hidden channels.
If necessary, use the scroll bar to show hidden channels.
Whether the scroll bar appears or not, the output strip at the far right of the Mixer is always visible.
Mixer Displaying the Group Level
The Mixer can display all Groups at once:
1
2
3
In this mode the desk’s input strips (1) represent all Groups of your Project, while the output
strip at the far right (2) represents the Master/Cue channel. At the top of the Mixer you see the
headers of all your Groups and of the Master/Cue channel (3). The focused channel is high-
lighted.
