icon and ID button is placed adjacent to each row
of parameters to identify the hardware unit to
which the row belongs. By clicking on the ID
button, the corresponding hardware unitʼs front
panel will illuminate. Each hardware unit is
assigned a Peripheral Prefix which is displayed on
the ID button.
2. Peripheral Prefix (Mac only) - Use this drop
down menu to assign a letter prefix (A-Z) to each
peripheral device displayed in the Devices
Sidebar. The letter prefix is included in all graphic
representations of the peripheral as well as I/O
labels in Maestro and Core Audio compatible
applications.
3. Touchpad Assignment - Use these menus to
select the parameter controlled by the user
assignable touchpads.
•
Mute outputs: To mute the speaker and
headphone outputs, assign one of the user
assignable touchpads in Maestro to the desired
mute function.
•
Dim outputs: The Dim function lowers the
output volume by 15 dB. This function is
convenient when you want to briefly lower the
playback volume in the speakers or
headphones in order to hold a conversation
without completely muting the output.
•
Sum to Mono: The Sum to Mono function is
used to examine phase relationships on stereo
tracks. When it is engaged, phase errors
become more noticeable.
•
Toggle Headphone source: Used to switch the
Headphone output between Out 1-2, Out 3-4
and Mixer. This function is especially useful for
digital DJs to switch the headphone output
between the House output (sent to Out 1-2) and
a cue output (sent to Out 3-4).
•
Clear Meters: The Clear Meters function will
remove held peak and over indicators on
software and OLED meters when Peak Hold or
Over Hold (in the System Setup tab window) is
set to Infinite.
4. Lock Home view - When Lock Home view is
checked, the OLED display doesn’t jump to the
Detail view when the Controller knob is turned. If
Lock Home view is not checked, the OLED
display shows details for the selected input or
output when the Controller knob is turned.
5. Peak Hold (on iOS) - This pop-up menu sets the
time that peak indications are held on software
and front panel meters.
6. Over Hold (on iOS) - This pop-up menu sets the
