Aux channels can also be displayed in the Track Mixer. Note: If the Aux channels are
used as tracks in the Arrange window, ensure that the view filter of the Track Mixer is
set to show Aux channels by activating the Aux button (track view). Activate the Aux
and Global button (global view) if the Aux Objects are only used as Environment
Objects (in other words, they’re not used as Arrange window tracks).
The Aux Object features the following elements (see “Bus Objects” on
page 216): Inserts, Sends, Input, Output, Automation, Pan, Level, and Level meter, Mute,
Stereo/Mono.
Aux Objects and Software Instruments With Multiple Outputs
By default, all outputs of a Multi Channel (see “Audio Instrument Object” on page 213)
Instrument plug-in are routed to the main output pair of the respective Audio
Instrument Object. Subsequent Multi Channel Instrument outputs are sent to Aux
Objects.
Track Mixer
To open, select Windows > Track Mixer.
Note: If you press Option while opening a Mixer window, it will appear as a float
window.
Unlike the Audio Mixer, the Track Mixer deals with both audio and MIDI tracks. Each
channel represents an Object in the Environment: the audio channels are Audio
Objects, the MIDI channels are instruments or parts (sub-channels) of multi
instruments.
Tracks that don’t have their own mixer parameters are not visible in the Track Mixer.
These include Delay Objects (see “Delay Line Object” on page 176), Arpeggiators (see
“Arpeggiator Object” on page 174), and so on. If several tracks in the Arrange window
address the same track instrument Object, the instrument is represented by a single
channel in the Track Mixer.
Note: You can adjust the vertical and horizontal display of the Track Mixer with the
Zoom controls.
