Tracktion 4 Reference Manual
167
• Aux: The aux mode shows the eight auxiliary send buses along the top row of V-pots. Pressing a
V-pot will select the associated send, and the remaining three rows of V-pots show the send level
for 24 tracks at a time. Adjusting any of these V-pots adjusts the send level for the corresponding
track. If the send is a stereo send, then pressing the V-pot switches it to pan mode.
•
Edit: The edit mode assigns typical editing functions to each of the 32 V-pots, allowing you to
perform operations such as cut and paste from the C4. In addition, the transport options: play,
cursor forwards/backwards, record, return to zero, and mode button such as loop, punch, and
click, are assigned. Each V-pot’s function is clearly labelled on the scribble pad, and performing
the function is as simple as pushing the V-pot. The edit operations are describing later in this
section.
Actions:
•
Back: The back button takes you up one level in the C4’s interface hierarchy. If you have a lter
selected, for instance, the back button would move you back to seeing the list of lters on the
current track.
•
Solo: The solo button enables/disables solo for the current track. This allows you to clearly hear
the effect of the lter. This button only has any effect if you are in plug-in mode and have a plug-
in selected.
Presets: The increment and decrement preset buttons allow you to move up and down through the se-
lected lter’s pre-sets.
Page:
•
Bank left/right: The bank buttons page the C4 though the available tracks, or lter parameters
in blocks of eight at a time, effectively scrolling the options up or down a line.
•
Single left/right: The single buttons scroll the C4 though the available tracks, or lter param-
eters one at a time.
