3. Use the Page buttons to show the desired channels on the displays. You can also use the
Group buttons and pads of your controller to directly switch to the desired channel.
4. Press the FUNCTION buttons under the jog wheel to select either the level or the panor-
amic position parameter.
At the bottom of the displays, the selected parameter appears under each channel strip.
5. Turn the desired Knob(s) 1–8 to adjust the displayed parameter in the corresponding
channel(s). You can also use the jog wheel to adjust that parameter for the focused chan-
nel.
As usual you can hold SHIFT while turning Knobs 1–8 (or press the jog wheel while
turning it) to make finer adjustments.
In each channel strip the peak value is indicated above the level meter. This peak value is re-
set each time you start the playback via PLAY or RESTART on your controller, or when you
click the corresponding peak value in the software’s Mixer (see section ↑12.2.5, Adjusting Set-
tings in the Channel Strips).

12.5.3 Mute and Solo in Mix Mode
When your controller is in Mix mode, pressing MUTE or SOLO doesn’t switch the displays to
the usual Mute or Solo mode: In addition to the usual procedure to mute or solo Groups and
Sounds, you can mute or solo your channels directly in Mix mode. To do this:
1. To mute a channel in Mix mode, press MUTE + the Button 1–8 above the desired chan-
nel(s).
2. To solo a channel in Mix mode, press SOLO + the Button 1–8 above the desired chan-
nel(s).
The strips of muted channels are grayed out in the displays.
Even if the displays don’t switch to Mute or Solo mode, the usual procedures for muting
and soloing Groups and Sounds stay valid in Mix mode. For more information on the
Mute and Solo functions, please refer to section ↑5.4.1, Mute and Solo.
