ment of individual sides, or channels. When

Output windows provide the associated track’s
Volume fader, Pan controls, Solo and Mute
switches, and Automation Mode selector. Use

Targeted Windows

“targeted,” and the next window opened of the
same type replaces the current display (unless it
is opened as an additional window with the
Shift modifier). When unlit, the target is gray,
and the current window anchors to its current
contents and location on-screen. Opening addi-
tional windows does not affect anchored win-
dows.
To set an open Send window as the target window:
„ Click the Target, so that it is lit (red).

track, send, Target, and other controls.
To move to a different track:
„ Click the Track selector and choose a track
from the pop-up menu.
To reassign output:
„ Click the Output Path selector and select a
path from the pop-up menu.
