focus on all the plug-ins, inserts or sends on a 
single channel.
EQ Switch When enabled (flashing), 003 is in 
Channel View. In this view, 003 identifies chan-
nels with equalizer plug-ins assigned to them by 
illuminating their Channel View switches. The 
top row of the LCD shows “Select EQ” and the 
Main Counter. The bottom row shows track 
names.
Dynamics Switch When enabled (flashing), 003 
is in Channel View. In this view, 003 identifies 
channels with dynamics plug-ins (such as com-
pressors or limiters) assigned to them by illumi-
nating their Channel Select switches. The top 
row of the LCD shows “Select Dynamics” and 
the Main Counter. The bottom row shows track 
names.
Insert Switch When enabled (flashing), 003 is in 
Channel View. In this view, 003 identifies chan-
nels with any kind of insert assigned to them 
(including plug-ins or hardware I/O inserts) by 
illuminating their Channel Select switches. The 
top row of the LCD shows “Select Insert” and 
the Main Counter. The bottom row shows track 
names.
Pan/Send Switch When enabled (flashing), 003 
is in Channel View. In this view, 003 identifies

Page Switches These switches provide access to 
additional pages of sends, plug-in parameters or 
Memory Locations. The Page switches flash to 
indicate a next or previous page is available. 
Plug-in Master Bypass Switch This switch lets 
you bypass either a single plug-in or all plug-ins 
on a channel, depending on the current view. 
ESC (Escape/Cancel) Switch When flashing, 
this switch acts as a cancel button for certain op-
erations on 003 (such as Channel View selec-
tions) and many on-screen dialogs in Pro Tools.
