Differences between the channel strips and the Master Section strip
Showing/hiding mixer strip sections also affects the Master Section strip. There are a few differences in the Master
Section and the channel strip sections when using the Show/Hide buttons:
• There is no Input section in the Master Section. If the Input section is shown, the Master Section will display a
blank panel.
• The “EQ” Show/Hide button affects the FX Send section in the Master Section.
• The “FX Sends” Show/Hide button affects the FX Return section.
Switching between channels, rack devices and tracks
The RACK and SEQ buttons allow you to go to a channel’s rack device or sequencer track directly from the Main
Mixer. Both buttons are located in the Channel Header section of the Main Mixer:
If you click the Rack button the following happens:
D For Audio Track channels, this will bring the Audio Track rack device into view.
The rack area will be shown (if hidden) with the channel device in view.
D For Mix channels, this will bring the Source device (i.e. the instrument device connected to the channel) into
view.
[Shift]-clicking the Rack button for a Mix channel will instead bring the Mix Channel device into view.
The SEQ button allows you to go to a channel’s sequencer track from the mixer. The SEQ button is also located in the
Channel Header section. If you click the SEQ button the following happens:
D For Audio Track channels, this will bring the Audio Track into view.
The sequencer area will be shown (if hidden) with the track in view.
D For Mix channels, this will bring the track for the Source device into view.
[Shift]-clicking the SEQ button for a Mix channel will instead bring the Mix Channel automation track into view. If
there isn’t an automation track, one will automatically be created.
D If you have previously deleted Mix Channel tracks and/or Audio tracks in the sequencer, clicking the SEQ but-
tons on the corresponding channel strips in the mixer will automatically create new sequencer tracks.
To find the mixer channel for a specific track in the sequencer, or for a specific Mix Channel or Audio Track device in
the rack, proceed as follows:
1. Select the track in the sequencer, or select the Mix Channel/Audio Track device in the rack.
2. Bring the mixer into view.
The channel will get Edit Focus (see “Channel Header section”) and be scrolled into view in the Main Mixer. If you
have both the sequencer and Main Mixer in view, or the rack and Main Mixer, clicking a track in the Track List, or
on a Mix Channel/Audio Track device in the rack, will flash the corresponding channel strip in the Main Mixer.
