3.3.2 Pinning a Mode on the Controller
Besides the default Control modes ( CHANNEL or PLUG-IN ), where one remains lit, your con-
troller additionally has various other modes of operation, which you can enter by pressing their
dedicated buttons. Depending on their purpose and workflow, these controller modes are of
two types:
▪ Temporary modes only stay active as long as you hold down their button on the controller.
When you release the button, your controller returns to Control mode. This is for example
the case with the
MUTE button.
▪ Permanent modes stay active even if you release their button. To deactivate them, you must
press their button a second time. This is for example the case with the
BROWSE button.
