The button Sub activates another useful special view. When in Submix view, Sub will cause all

channels to disappear that are not part of the currently selected Submix/Hardware Output. Sub

temporarily shows the mix based on all channels from Inputs and Playback row, independent

from the current Layout Preset. That makes it very easy to see and to verify which channels are

mixed/routed to the current output. Sub makes checking and verifying of mixes, but also the mix

editing itself, a lot easier, and maintains perfect overview even with lots of channels.

25.5.4 Scroll Location Markers

Another feature to improve overview and working with TotalMix FX are scroll location markers

(TotalMix view only). These are displayed automatically when the horizontal size of the TotalMix

FX window is smaller than the channel display requires. Shown on the right side of the scrollbar

of each row they have four elements:

¾ Arrow to the left. A left mouse

click let the channels scroll to the

very first one, or most left.

¾ 1. Marker number 1. Scroll to the

desired position and perform a right

mouse click on 1. A dialog comes

up with precise information. Once

stored, a left mouse click will scroll

the channels to the stored position.

¾ 2. Marker number 2. See 1 for

details.

¾ Arrow to the right. A left mouse

click let the channels scroll the last

one, or most right.

Location markers are stored in the

Workspace.

Application Examples

While originally added to improve navigation in the HDSPe MADI FX (having 196 channels that

never fit on any screen), the scroll location markers are also helpful with units having much less

channels:

• When the TotalMix FX window is intentionally made small in width, so only a few channels

are shown.

• When some or all settings panels are open. Then all relevant settings are always visible,

but require a lot of space horizontally.
