Specifications

Getting Started with Mbox 242
Audio tracks, Auxiliary Inputs, Master Faders,
and MIDI tracks can be automated.
Audio Tracks
Audio tracks, Auxiliary Inputs, and Master Fad-
ers share many identical controls. Master Faders
provide all the same features as audio tracks and
Auxiliary Inputs, with the following exceptions:
Input Selector A Master Fader’s output assign-
ment determines its input, or source (always
outputs 1–2).
Inserts Inserts on Master Faders are post-fader
only. (Audio track and Aux input track inserts
are all pre-fader.)
Sends Master Faders do not provide sends. To
send an output to another destination, use an
Auxiliary Input.
MIDI Tracks
MIDI tracks provide volume, solo, and mute, in
addition to MIDI input, output, channel, and
program (patch) controls. MIDI volume, mute,
and pan can also be automated using Pro Tools
automation features (see “Mix Automation” on
page 57 for more information).
