CHANNEL FADER – Use this 100mm, touch-sensitive fader to adjust the volume levels of each
channel. The exact level will be shown in the DISPLAY.
2. MASTER FADER – This fader controls the DAW’s master fader. Note that different DAWs control
this fader differently. Some DAWs, such as Pro Tools, do not make use of the fader at all.

DAW.
4. PREVIEW – Using this button to keep from becoming “lost” on the control surface. Press and hold
PREVIEW and manipulate a control to see its operation and, if applicable, the DAW project’s
corresponding track name on the LCD display. As long as PREVIEW is held down,
communication with the DAW will be suspended for most controls.

The first and last fader assignments for the selected bank will be shown in the DISPLAY.
6. < TRACK > – Use these buttons to move through your DAW project’s channels one at a time.
