Bypass/Spill Switch
The function of the Bypass/Spill switch depends on what is
currently displayed on the channel strip.
Inserts
 In the top level Inserts view (when plug-in names are dis-
played on a channel strip’s encoders), the Bypass/Spill switch
bypasses all plug-ins on that channel.
 When a single plug-in’s parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip’s encoders, the Bypass/Spill switch bypasses that
plug-in only.
Sends
 In the top level Sends view (when send names are displayed
on a channel strip’s encoders), the Bypass/Spill switch mutes
all sends on that channel.
 When a single send’s parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip’s encoders, the Bypass/Spill switch has no effect.
VCA Master Tracks
 On VCA Master tracks, the Bypass/Spill switch displays (or
“spills”) the slave tracks for the VCA in Custom Faders.
Sends Switch
When you press the Sends switch on a channel strip, sends are
show in two groups of five (Sends A–E or Sends F–J) on the en-
coder displays. The rotary encoders control Send level.
You can use Flip mode to transfer controls for any send posi-
tion (A–J) to the Faders. See “Flip Mode” on page 123.
To toggle display of Sends A–E and F–J on a channel strip:
1 Press the Sends switch in the Channel Strip Mode controls
section of the channel strip to show the top level Send display.
2 Press the Page Up and Page Down switches to toggle the top
level Send display between the two sets of five sends (A–E and
F–J).
To open/close a Send window on-screen:
1 Press the Sends switch on the channel whose Send window
you want to open/close.
2 Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the en-
coder Select switch for the Send you want to open/close.
Send Pan Mode
Send Pan mode allows you to adjust panning and level for an
individual send on a channel at the same time. In Send Pan
mode, Send Level is controlled by the channel fader and Send
Pan is controlled by the encoders.
Send Pan mode lets you view different sends on individual
channels, or by using the Do To All or Do To Selected
switches, the same send across multiple channels.
In Send Pan mode, you can link Pan controls of individual
Sends to the Main Pan controls of their tracks (the “Follow
Main Pan” or “FMP”).
To enter Send Pan mode:
1 Press the Sends switch to display sends on the channel’s en-
coders.
2 Press the encoder Select switch that corresponds to the send
you want to display. The channel’s Send and Pan switches
light to indicate that it is in Send/Pan mode.
To return to the top level display of sends on the channel strip:
 Press the Sends switch again.
To link a Send’s Pan controls to the Main Pan controls of a track:
1 Put the track in Send Pan mode for the Send you want to
link.
2 Press the B/M/P switch on any of the active encoders on the
track to toggle the FMP status of the send.
Send Clipping Indication
The Sends switch flashes when a send on that channel has
clipped. To clear a clip, press the Clear Clip button in the Ses-
sion Management section. See “Clear Clip Switch and Plug-in
Clip Indicator” on page 94 for more information.
