9.5.2 Adjusting the Level and Pan in Mix Mode
The Mix mode allows you to quickly adjust the level and panoramic position of each of your
channels via Knobs 1–8. To do this:
1. If you want to adjust the level and panoramic position of Groups, switch to the Group view
by pressing BACK below the jog wheel.
2. If you want to adjust the level and panoramic position of Sounds, switch to the Sound
view by pressing ENTER below the jog wheel or by pressing the jog wheel itself.
3. Use the Page buttons to show the desired channels on the displays. You can also use the
Group buttons and pads of your controller to directly switch to the desired channel.
4. Press the FUNCTION buttons below the jog wheel to select either the level or the panor-
amic position parameter.
At the bottom of the displays, the selected parameter appears below each channel strip.
5. Turn the desired Knob(s) 1–8 to adjust the displayed parameter in the corresponding
channel(s). You can also use the jog wheel to adjust that parameter for the focused chan-
nel.
As usual you can hold SHIFT while turning Knobs 1–8 (or press the jog wheel while turning
it) to make finer adjustments.
In each channel strip the peak value is indicated above the level meter. This peak value is re-
set each time you start the playback via PLAY or RESTART on your controller, or when you
click the corresponding peak value in the software’s Mixer (see section ↑9.2.5, Adjusting Set-
tings in the Channel Strips).
9.5.3 Mute and Solo in Mix Mode
When your controller is in Mix mode, pressing MUTE or SOLO doesn’t switch the displays to
the usual Mute or Solo mode: In addition to the usual procedure to mute or solo Groups and
Sounds, you can mute or solo your channels directly in Mix mode. To do this:
►
To mute a channel in Mix mode, press MUTE + Button 1–8 above the desired channel(s).
►
To solo a channel in Mix mode, press SOLO + Button 1–8 above the desired channel(s).
The strips of muted channels are grayed out in the displays.
