Chapter 2: New and Changed Features in S6 Software v1.4 7
New Preference Settings for Banking, Navigation and Display
• New Banking preference settings let you define how the surface banks when you select tracks.
• New Strips preference settings provide control over several strip attributes, such as the ability to link Select and Attention
states, display or hide Track numbers, and manage the display of control values in strips when adjusting parameters.
• A new Knobs setting lets you optimize parameter mapping on strips that only have one Knob Module.
• The Display settings have been consolidated into a drop-down menu, replacing the earlier radio buttons.
Banking
The Banking section in Settings > Preferences now provides additional choices for Auto Bank to Selected Track Mode.
Auto-Bank to Selected Track Mode
These settings let you define how banking follows channel selection. These settings apply to all Select methods (tapping to select
tracks in the Tracks matrix, pressing a channel
Select switch, or selecting a DAW track on-screen).
Off
Banking ignores channel selection.
If Not Visible on Surface
Banking ignores track selection if that track is already on the surface. For example, on a 16 fader system
displaying tracks 1–16, selecting track 15 will not bank the surface but selecting track 17 (or any other off-bank track) will bank.
Always
When enabled, the surface will always bank to the currently selected track.
Strips
The new Strips preference settings control the behavior of hardware strips (on Fader Modules, and the Attention Track on the Au-
tomation Module). These include the ability to link/unlink strip Select and Attention states, show or hide track numbers, and man-
age how control values are displayed on strips when adjusting parameters.
Attention Most Recently Selected Track
Selecting a track by pressing its Select switch also attentions that track.
Select Most Recently Attentioned Track
Attentioning a track by pressing its Attention key also selects that track.
