The Mixer
To create a view set, proceed as follows:
1. Set up the Mixer configuration that you want to save.
2. At the bottom of the common panel, click the “Store
View Set” button (the “+” sign).
3. A dialog opens, allowing you to enter a name for the
view set.
4. Click OK to store the current Mixer view set.
• You can now return to this stored configuration at any
time by clicking the “Select Channel View Set” button (the
down arrow to the left of the “Store View Set” button) and
selecting it from the pop-up menu.
• To remove a stored channel view set, select it and click
the “Remove View Set” button (the “-” sign).
Setting the width of channel strips
Each channel strip can be set to either “Wide” or “Nar-
row” mode by using the “Channel Narrow/Wide” button
on the left above the fader strip.
• Narrow channel strips contain a narrow fader, miniature
buttons, and the View Options pop-up menu.
A wide and a narrow channel strip
• If you select “All targets narrow” or “All targets wide” on
the common panel, all channel strips selected as com-
mand targets (see “About the Command Target” on page
117) are affected.
Basic mixing procedures
Setting volume in the Mixer
In the Mixer, each channel strip has a volume fader.
• For audio channels, the faders control the volume of the
channels before they are routed (directly or via a group
channel) to an output bus.
• An output channel fader determines the master output
level of all audio channels routed to that output bus.
• MIDI channels handle fader volume changes in the
Mixer by sending out MIDI volume messages to the con
-
nected instrument(s).
Connected instruments must be set to respond to MIDI messages (such
as MIDI volume in this case) for this to function properly.
• The fader settings are displayed numerically below the
faders, in dB for audio-related channels and as MIDI vol-
ume (0 to 127) for MIDI channels.
You can click in the fader value fields and type in a new volume value.
• To make fine volume adjustments, hold down [Shift]
when you move the faders.
!
Some remote control devices support this function,
which means that you can use the remote device to
switch between the channel view sets.
