Expanding and Collapsing all Mixer Channels
• To expand all mixer channels at once, click the right arrow button.
Expanded mixer channels provide direct access to the insert/send effects.
• To collapse all mixer channels at once, click the left arrow button.
Collapsed mixer channels only show the most important controls like level, pan,
solo, mute, and a level meter.
Showing Empty Slot Channels
If set to "Show Slot Bus Channels", the Mixer editor only shows channels that are
currently in use by programs loaded into the corresponding slots. To show all empty
slot channels as well, activate the "Show Empty Slots" button.
This button is also available in the Slot Rack and the MIDI editor.
Hiding Deactivated Output Channels
If set to "Show Output Bus Channels", the Mixer editor shows all output busses.
Deactivated outputs are grayed out. To gain a better overview about which channels
are currently used, activate the "Hide Inactive Outputs" button.
The Mixer Channel Strip Controls
All busses have a similar mixer channel, with a few exceptions. For example, the output
busses do not have an output pop-up menu. The various types of channels are using
different label colors:
