Each channel strip in represents a separate instrument in your score . Large scores will therefore have a

large number of separate instrument channel strips – too many than can be comforTably viewed at one

time . Thus, you view a few channel strips at a time, grouped by different instrument sections .

Click a Section Name to See Instruments in That Family

You view a particular section by clicking one of these buttons that appear to the left of the Mixer console window:

8

All instruments, in the order they appear (top to bottom) in the score . This button does not appear if there is only

one instrument in the score .

8

Brass instruments in the order they appear in the score .

8

Keyboard (Keybd) instruments in the order they appear in the score .

8

One or more Harps parts .

8

Percussion (Perc.) instruments in the order they appear in the score .

8

Rhythm instruments, such as guitars and drum kits .

8

SoundFX (effects) such as handclaps, thunder sheet, and whistles .

8

All Strings in the order they appear in the score .

8

All WWinds in the order they appear in the score .

If you do not have an instrument for a particular section, you do not see the button for that section .
If there are more channel strips in a section than can appear comfortably in this area,

then scroll left and right with the scroll bar at the bottom of the window

Show/Hide Master and Buses

Buttons on the left-hand side of the Mixer’s top panel enable you to see or hide the Buses, or Master channel

strips, or all eight . By hiding these, you get to view more instrument channel strips at a glance .
