Selecting Channel Strips
When you add a channel strip to a patch (or add a channel strip at the set or concert
level), the channel strip is selected in the Channel Strips area, and available settings appear
in the Channel Strip Settings browser. You can select a channel strip directly by clicking
it in the Channel Strips area and also select an adjacent channel strip by using key
commands:
Selection Key command
The channel strip to the left Left Arrow
The channel strip to the right Right Arrow
Showing Signal Flow Channel Strips
In addition to the channel strips in a patch, you can view and edit signal flow channel
strips in the Channel Strips area. Signal flow channel strips include the Output and Master
channel strips for the concert, auxes that are receiving signal from a channel strip in the
patch, and any set- or concert-level channel strips that are available when the patch is
selected. You can also view signal flow channel strips at the set level.
When you show signal flow channel strips, channel strips at the concert level, including
Output and Aux channel strips, include a small concert icon near the top of the channel
strip to make it easy to distinguish them from patch-level channel strips. Channel strips
at the set level include a small folder icon so they can also be easily distinguished.
You can edit signal flow channel strips in the Channel Strips area. For example, you can
adjust the volume fader or pan slider of a signal flow channel strip, or add effects to an
aux channel strip.
