M-Audio ProjectMix I/O User Manual page 9

35. Flip Button (FLIP): The FLIP button will switch the control parameters of the channel faders (13) and their associated encoder knobs (8).
(Example: if the encoder knob is set to Aux Send function, pressing the FLIP button will cause the encoder knob to control the channel
level, while the channel fader will control the Aux Send function.)
36: Channel Info Button (CHAN INFO): The CHAN INFO button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software. Refer
to the Application Notes section describing your audio software for details.
37. Setup Button (SETUP): Pressing the SETUP button will access additional internal parameters, such as LCD Contrast, jog wheel calibration
and factory defaults. To reset the unit to factory defaults (this resets the base running mode to Cubase and resets any data that has
been programmed into MIDI mode), go into the SETUP menu on the device, press the lighted SEL key under the label "Factory Defaults,"
then press the lighted key under the word "Yes." There will be a slight delay (2 seconds or so) as the unit resets itself, and then it will
restart.
38: MIDI Button (MIDI): When active, the MIDI button will change the ProjectMix I/O control surface to a generic MIDI controller. See the
section toward the back of the manual on MIDI Control Mode for more information.
39. Pan Button (PAN): The PAN button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software. Typically, when the PAN button
is pressed, the encoder knobs (8) control stereo panning for the currently selected bank of eight channels in the DAW application. Refer
to the Application Notes section describing your audio software for details.
40. Plug In Button (PLUG IN): The PLUG IN button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW application software. Typically
when the PLUG IN button is pressed, the encoder knobs (8) control a specific plug-in function for the currently selected bank of eight
channels in the DAW application. Refer to the Application Notes section describing your audio software for details.
41. Select In Button (SEL IN): The SEL IN button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software. Refer to the Application
Notes section describing your audio software for details.
42. Select Out (SEL OUT): This SEL OUT button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software. Refer to the Application
Notes section describing your audio software for details.
43. Meter Button (MTR): The MTR button is normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software. In most cases, you will see the
channel meters for the currently selected 8 channels after pressing the MTR button. Refer to the Application Notes section describing
your audio software for details.
44. Aux 1-5 Buttons (AUX 1 – AUX 5): The AUX 1 – AUX 5 buttons are normally mapped to a specific function within the DAW software.
Refer to the Application Notes section describing your audio software for details.
NOTE: Holding down one of the AUX buttons while powering up the ProjectMix I/O will select from a variety of DAW operation modes. Refer
to the Application Notes section describing your audio software for details.
45. Headphone Level Knobs: The two headphone level knobs regulate the output level (volume) of the two independent headphone
mixes (selected by the headphone A/B button (46)). The headphone mixes themselves are set within the Control Panel software. See
the Control Panel section for more information.
46. Headphone Mix Select Switch (A/B): The A/B switch selects between the two separate headphone mixes, as set within the Control
Panel software. See the Control Panel section for more information.
47. Level Knob (LEVEL): The LEVEL knob controls the level of the software return, input, output, or aux send, as selected in the Control Panel
software. See the Control Panel section for more information.
48. MIDI Channel Display: This two-digit LED display shows different information depaending on which DAW you are using. For example,
the abbreviated mode type is displayed when using Logic.
49. MIDI Activity Indicators (MIDI IN, OUT): These indicator LEDs light when MIDI data is seen at the ProjectMix I/O rear-panel MIDI input
or MIDI output.
50. Front-Panel Instrument Input: Connect an instrument-level input (guitar, bass, etc.) to this jack. This jack shares its input with Line
input 1, and is only active when the INST switch (1) is in the down position. The Gain 1 (2) control can be used to adjust the recording
level of the instrument.
NOTE: The MIC/LINE switch on input 1 must be in the LINE (down) position for the front-panel instrument input to work. If the MIC/LINE switch
is in the up position, input 1 will receive signal from the XLR input on the back of the ProjectMix I/O, regardless of the setting of the INST
switch.
51. Headphone Outputs: These jacks are stereo headphone outputs for connection of standard TRS headphone plugs. These are separate
outputs whose levels are controlled by the two headphone level knobs (45).
52. Mic Inputs (MIC INPUTS): Balanced XLR inputs at +4dBu featuring high-quality mic preamps. These inputs are wired in parallel with
their associated Line Inputs, and selected with the channel Mic/Line switches (3). To use the XLR jack as the input source for a channel,
the corresponding MIC/LINE switch will need to be in the up position.
