Track type for each bank of Custom Faders can be selected
from the Bank Select Matrix:

• Bank Select 2 = Audio Tracks
• Bank Select 3 = Auxiliary Inputs
• Bank Select 4 = MIDI Tracks
• Bank Select 5 = Instrument Tracks
• Bank Select 6= Hidden Tracks
The name of the selected track type is shown in the Custom
Faders display.
If the number of tracks exceeds the number of Custom Fader
channel strips, the tracks can be banked with the Bank/Cycle
switch in the Custom Faders section.
Track types can also be displayed and selected in the Soft Keys
section by pressing the Bank Select switch in the Soft Keys sec-
tion.
To bring a Track type to Custom Fader channels:

1

want to display in the Custom Fader channels.
The name of the Track type appears in the corresponding Cus-
tom Fader display. Tracks of the designated type appear

Plug-In Mode
Plug-In mode focuses available plug-ins on the focused chan-
nel on the left and right Custom Fader channels. This places
all of the plug-in's parameters on the Custom Fader channel
encoders, and any plug-in meters on the Custom Fader chan-
nel meters.
With plug-ins that have multiple pages of parameters, you can
select pages from the Bank Select Matrix. If a plug-in has more
than 12 pages, you can cycle though banks of pages by hold-
ing Shift and pressing the Bank/Cycle switch in the Custom
Faders section.
The plug-in pages can also be accessed from the Soft Keys sec-
tion by pressing the Bank Select switch in the Soft Keys sec-
tion.
This mode is useful for controlling plug-ins with a large num-
ber of controls, such as virtual instruments.
To focus a plug-in on Custom Fader channels:
Focus the plug-in's track on the Focus Channel Strip by
1
pressing the track's Select switch. The names of available
plug-ins appear in the left and right Custom Fader displays.
Press the Plug-In switch in either of the Custom Fader sec-
2
tions. The switch lights to indicate the mode is active. The
plug-in name and channel format appear in the correspond-
ing Custom Fader channel display, and the plug-in's parame-
ters appear in the Custom Fader channel encoders.
In either of the Custom Faders sections, press the Bank/Cy-
3
cle switch to cycle through the plug-ins on the focused chan-
nel. (The No Insert option is always available.)
You can go directly to Custom Fader Plug-In mode from
top-level Inserts view by holding Control (Windows) or
Command (Macintosh) and pressing the encoder Select
switch for the plug-in you want to focus.
Custom Faders and Plug-Ins
In general, continuous plug-in parameters map to the Custom
Fader encoder knobs, and switched parameters functions map
to the B/M/P (Bypass/Mute/Pre) encoder switches. The pres-
ence of a switched parameter is indicated by the Pre indicator
above the corresponding B/M/P switch.
