4. Stereo link switch; links levels of Inputs either side of the switch (and auto-pans hard left and right)
5. Input/Playback Balance crossfader; sets the balance of the Input Mix and tracks playing back from the sequencer for one
pair of analogue outputs
6. Stereo output gain dial
7. Dim switch; sets a digital cut of 18dB
8. Hardware control switch (makes the dial follow the Monitor dial on the hardware, allowing hardware control over output levels)
9. Active Monitor pad switch; reduces the analogue output level by 18dB
10. Solo output switch; solos the output
11. Mute output switch; mutes the output
