Showing/Hiding Particular Sections of the Strips
Both when displaying all Group channels or all Sound channels of a particular Group, the Mix-
er allows you to select which sections you want to show or hide in the strips currently dis-
played. This is done via the three buttons on the left of the Mixer, under the arrow expanding
the Mixer:
Choosing what to display in the channels.
From top to bottom:
▪ IO button: Click it to show/hide the input and output settings (both MIDI and audio) in the
channel strips.
▪ Plug-in icon: Click it to show/hide the Plug-in Lists in the channel strips.
▪ AUX button: Click it to show/hide the auxiliary output settings in the channel strips.
The settings for the main audio output are always visible, even if the IO button is disabled.
For a detailed description of the settings available in the channel strips, see section ↑13.2.5,
Adjusting Settings in the Channel Strips below.
13.2.3 Selecting Channel Strips
Since the Mix view is just another way of displaying and accessing MASCHINE channels, se-
lection and focus work similarly in the Mixer as in the Arrange view:
▪ To set the focus to a particular channel (Sound or Group), click the background of its head-
er in the top two rows of the Mixer (upper row for Groups and the Master/Cue, lower row for
Sounds, if visible) or use the usual commands on your controller (see section ↑3.3.3, Fo-
cusing on a Group or a Sound). The header of the focused channel is highlighted.
▪ Setting the focus to a particular channel strip in the Mixer will automatically set the focus
to the corresponding Sound, Group, or the Master in Arrange view, and inversely.
