Each channel strip in represents a separate instrument in your score. Large scores will therefore have a
large number of separate instrument channel strips – too many than can be comforTably viewed at one
time. Thus, you view a few channel strips at a time, grouped by dierent instrument sections.
Click a Section Name to See Instruments in That Family
You view a particular section by clicking one of these buttons that appear to the left of the Mixer console window:
8 All instruments, in the order they appear (top to bottom) in the score. This button does not appear if there is only
one instrument in the score.
8 Brass instruments in the order they appear in the score.
8 Keyboard (Keybd) instruments in the order they appear in the score.
8 One or more Harps parts.
8 Percussion (Perc.) instruments in the order they appear in the score.
8 Rhythm instruments, such as guitars and drum kits.
8 SoundFX (eects) such as handclaps, thunder sheet, and whistles.
8 All Strings in the order they appear in the score.
8 All WWinds in the order they appear in the score.
If you do not have an instrument for a particular section, you do not see the button for that section.
If there are more channel strips in a section than can appear comfortably in this area,
then scroll left and right with the scroll bar at the bottom of the window

Buttons on the left-hand side of the Mixer’s top panel enable you to see or hide the Buses, or Master channel
strips, or all eight. By hiding these, you get to view more instrument channel strips at a glance.
