The Digital Scribble Strip

The digital scribble strip that runs across the centre of the desk consists of two display rows. By default, the top row contains
labels associated with the channel faders, and is therefore Focus mode dependent: In Analogue Focus mode it displays the channel

allow the two rows of channel names to be reversed, so that 17-32 are shown on the top row.
Please note that the FLIP SCRIBBLE STRIP on the Channels tab is independent to the FLIP SCRIBBLE STRIPS option on the
DAW tab, which is specific to DAW scribble strip information. Read below to find out more about this.
The bottom row of the scribble strip is associated with the V-Pot located beneath the scribble strip. When Matrix is assigned to
a layer controlling a DAW, the bottom row of the scribble strip displays either the name or the value of the parameter controlled
by the V-Pot. When controlling Pro Tools, the scribble strip only displays the name of the V-Pot. For DAWs controlled via the
MCU protocol, please refer to their control surface documentation for full details of their scribble strip displays and messages.
In order to cater for variations in the ways MCU DAWs return channel data, there is a
tab of the Remote, located to the right of the
Nuendo labelling to follow the Logic format.
Logic default Profile. For other MCU DAWs, the labelling format described in their control surface documentation will enable
you to ascertain whether or not to activate this function.
See Page 106 for a description of the scribble strip in CC layers.
