The floating window also displays the Plug-in Header at the top. In addition to the Header’s

elements described in section

13.4.4, Custom Panels for Native Instruments Plug-ins

,

this Header contains an additional Edit button (showing a pencil icon) allowing you to
switch to the Edit view, which shows the full interface of the original Native Instruments

product:

Closing the Plug-in’s Floating Window

To dock a Native Instruments or External Plug-in back into the Plug-in Strip and close its
dedicated floating window, click the little diagonal arrow in the Plug-in placeholder (Na-
tive Instruments Plug-ins) or in the header of the generic Plug-in panel (External Plug-ins)
in the Plug-in Strip.

You can also close any floating window via the common button provided by your operating system at

the top left or right corner of the window. The Plug-in will be inserted back into the Plug-in Strip.

13.5 Controlling Your Mix from the Controller

Your controller provides a dedicated Mix mode. The Mix mode provides an overview of your

channels via a mixing desk layout, similarly to the Mixer in the software’s Mix view (see section

13.2, The Mixer

).

The Mix mode on your controller and the Mix view in the software are independent from each other:

Switching views in the software does not switch the mode on your controller, and inversely — for
example, you can use your controller in Mix mode while displaying the Arrange view in the software.

Press

MIXER

to enter or leave Mix mode on your controller.

When Mix mode is active, the

MIXER

button is lit.
