LCD Display
For all 003 operating modes, the LCD display 
provides status information.
In Pro Tools mode, when a session is open, 003’s 
LCD is a large, two-row display. The LCD display 
dedicates two rows, each with up to six charac-
ters, to each channel strip.
In most views, the top row of the LCD shows the 
the current view or mode status on the left side 
and the session’s Main Counter on the right 
side. 
The bottom row of the LCD shows track, send, 
and insert names, and pan position, send levels, 
and plug-in control information, depending on 
the current view, as selected by the Chan-
nel/Console switches.
The default display is the name of the displayed 
element. Names of items with more than six 
characters are abbreviated to six characters. Full 
names of items with more than 6 characters can 
be temporarily displayed in the LCD. See “Dis-
playing Full Names of Tracks, Insert Parameters, 
and Other Elements” on page 98.
When you move a fader or rotary encoder, the 
LCD will temporarily display the value for that 
control in the lower row of the LCD, then return 
to the default display. Values can also be tempo-
rarily displayed without moving a control or set 
to display always. See “Displaying Settings In-
stead of Track or Control Names” on page 98.

italized in the LCD display.

pears before its name in the LCD display.
