The mix section — in both the mix and master bays — controls a bank of eight buses
per selected input channel. While, the one in the input fast strips controls the currently
selected channel bus.
In the GUI channel strip, the mix bus (sends) processing area has a similar layout to
the mix section (mix and master bays).
However, the input channel
overview gives a simultaneous
display of the status of all buses.
It displays the levels sent to the
buses, shows which are on/off and
whether they are pre- or
post-fader. For details, see
diagram right.
Note: Although the ramps in the
diagram appear to be pixelated,
this is not the case when these
are viewed on the actual GUI.
This is because the PRO Series
GUI incorporates anti-aliasing to
ensure its displays are crisp and
clear.
Operators sometimes need to
access main faders and multiple
auxes at the same time. The 'flip'
option places aux level controls
onto the pan control knobs/faders
(see Figure 11 "Mix bus
navigational controls" on
page 64).
Desired buses are flipped using quick access buttons and the FLIP button. When input
faders are flipped the LCD switches all change colour to match bus colour (red/yellow/
blue/green) or become inverted text to indicate faders no longer function in the normal
way on the main channel path.
You can edit the levels on the GUI using drag.

This after-fade listen stereo switch, only operates on
the stereo pan and level style buses and lets the user

output channels.
