Zoom Options 100%, 135%, 200%. Depending on the size of the monitor and the current reso-
lution TotalMix FX might be much too small and the controls too tiny to easily operate them.
Together with the 2 Row mode these options give a lot of different window sizes that suit all
monitors and resolutions currently existing.

elements.
14. The Matrix
14.1 Overview
The mixer window of TotalMix looks and operates similar to mixing desks, as it is based on a
conventional stereo design. The matrix display presents a different method of assigning and
routing channels, based on a single channel or monaural design. The matrix view of the Digi-
face AVB has the look and works like a conventional patchbay, adding functionality way beyond
comparable hardware and software solutions. While most patchbays will allow you to connect
inputs to outputs with just the original level (1:1, or 0 dB, as known from mechanical patchbays),
TotalMix allows you to use a freely definable gain value per crosspoint.
Matrix and TotalMix are different ways of displaying the same processes. Therefore both views
are always synchronized. A change in one view is immediately reflected in the other view.
14.2 Elements of the Matrix View
¾ Horizontal labels. All hardware outputs
¾ Vertical labels. All hardware inputs. Below are all playback channels.
¾ Green 0.0 dB field. Standard 1:1 routing
¾ Dark grey field with number. Shows the
current gain value as dB
¾ Blue field. This routing is muted
¾ Red field. Phase 180° (inverted)
¾ Dark grey field. No routing.
To maintain overview when the window size has been reduced, the labels are floating. They
won't leave the visible area when scrolling.
A right mouse click on the labels brings up the context menu with the same options as in the
mixer view: Copy / Mirror / Paste /Clear input channels and submixes.
