anotherparameterwhichisnotshownintheparameterlist.Ifacontrolsurface
supports switchingtoGlobalView,itwillalsoallowyoutodefinewhichObjectsto

 Arrange—ArrangeViewissimilartoMixerView,withoneexception:Namely,if
multipletracksplaybackviathesameEnvironmentObject,allofthesetrackswillbe
displayedonseparatechannelstrips.Thisishelpfulwhenusedinconjunctionwith
thenudgecommands,forexample.TheHidebuttonstatusistakenintoaccount,
withtrackshiddenintheArrangewindowalsobeinghiddenonthecontrolsurface.
Thesemodesaremutuallyexclusive,soifyou’reinoneViewmode,youcannotbein
theother.
ItisimportanttonotethattheMixervs.GlobalViewmodesisapropertyoftheControl
SurfaceGroup,notaglobalsetting.Soonegroupcandisplaybusses,whiletheother
showstracks,forexample.
MixerViewFaderBank
ThisparameteraffectstheTrackViewmodebyshiftingchannelsbythedefined
amount.Imaginethatyourcontrolsurfacehaseightchannelstrips,andyouwere
lookingataudiotracks1to8intheArrangewindow.Thesewouldappearaschannels
1to8onthecontrolsurface.UsingtheMixerViewFaderBankparameter,youcould
offsetthisviewbyadefinednumberofchannels,toseeaudiotracks3to11 , for
example.
GlobalViewFaderBank
TheGlobalViewFaderBankparameterperformsmuchliketheMixerViewFaderBank,
butonlyappliesifmultipleObjecttypesareenabled.WhensingleObjecttypesare
enabled,thereareseparatefaderbankparameters(thesearen’tdisplayedinthe
parameterlist).
Track/ChannelParameters
Thetrackorchannelparametersdefinethebehaviorofacontrolsurface’schannel/
trackcontrols.
TrackParameter
Definesthecurrenttrackassignmentbehaviorfortheencoders.Optionsare:
 Volume—encodersadjustchannelvolume.
 Pan—encodersadjustchannelpanoramaposition.
 Mode—encodersadjust/selectchannelmode(mono/stereo).
