Bypass/Spill Switch
The function of the Bypass/Spill switch depends on what is
currently displayed on the channel strip.
Inserts
In the top level Inserts view (when plug-in names are dis-
played on a channel strip's encoders), the Bypass/Spill switch
bypasses all plug-ins on that channel.
When a single plug-in's parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip's encoders, the Bypass/Spill switch bypasses that
plug-in only.
Sends
In the top level Sends view (when send names are displayed
on a channel strip's encoders), the Bypass/Spill switch mutes
all sends on that channel.
When a single send's parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip's encoders, the Bypass/Spill switch has no effect.
VCA Master Tracks
On VCA Master tracks, the Bypass/Spill switch displays (or
"spills") the slave tracks for the VCA in Custom Faders.
Sends Switch
When you press the Sends switch on a channel strip, sends are
shown in two groups of five (Sends A–E or Sends F–J) on the
encoder displays. The rotary encoders control Send level.
You can use Flip mode to transfer controls for any send posi-
tion (A–J) to the Faders. See "Flip Mode" on page 133.
To toggle display of Sends A–E and F–J on a channel strip:
Press the Sends switch in the Channel Strip Mode controls
1
section of the channel strip to show the top level Send display.

F–J).

1
you want to open/close.

2
