In normal operation, the active processing chain is displayed on the Main Display. If, for
example, the number 6 is displayed at insert D, it means that insert D is the sixth insert
in the current insert chain. Furthermore, helpful information is shown in the display. The
individual inserts can be labeled, which is shown when they are activated. If, for example,
an SPL IRON Mastering Compressor is connected to insert D, its name can be labeled at
this insert with the Label Mode. Another very helpful information is the little dot at the
lower right hand corner of a number, when a processing chain is shown. This dot visu-
alizes the assignment of a Parallel Mix. If (for example) there is a little dot at insert D, it
means that this insert D assigned to a Parallel Mix stage.

course relating to the Parallel Mix 2.
