Solo Isolate
Holding down ALT and pressing a channel SOLO will put a channel into Solo Isolate mode. This mode prevents
that channel from being cut when a SOLO is activated on another channel. This is particularly useful for FX return
tracks.

Channel Select Button

The channel SEL button can function as a channel select button, a track record enable or a plug-in edit enable
button, depending on the mode selected on the Master Control panel

Scribble Strip Displays

When an AWS 900+ channel fader is controlling a DAW fader level, the channel scribble strip will indicate a four
character version of the DAW channel name. When controlling the analogue channel it displays the number of the
fader, eg 'Fader 23'.
The scribble strip can also display other information such as: Automation status, Grouping information, Monitor
information (see page 5-20), Input/Output routing, Send routing, Send Pre/Post information (see page 5-11), fader
level display (see page 5-6) and Pan position (see page 5-9).
The D-Pot scribble strip displays the DAW channel name or analogue fader number in CHANNEL mode or the
selected function (Pan, ASGN etc) in other modes.

Channel D-Pot

Each channel has a continuous controller or D-Pot. This can be used to control
Send levels and Panning, and to assign Input, Output and Send routing. See page
5-9 for more details.
The D-Pot includes a push switch that is used (depending on the centre section
mode) to select sends to be pre or post fade, to mute sends and to confirm I/O
selections. See page 5-10 for more details.

Solo and Cut Buttons

Two sets of Solo and cut buttons are provided on each channel. The upper set is
associated with the signal path controlled by the channel D-Pot and the lower set
with the signal path under fader control. Thus in Analogue Focus mode and with
CHANNEL mode selected the lower set of buttons control the analogue path and
the upper the DAW channels. Changing to DAW Focus reverses this.
When a DAW solo is active the cut buttons on the other channels flash.
Holding down OPTION and pressing a channel SOLO/CUT button will
select/deselect that function across all channels. If channels are already solo'd
then this will turn off all solo buttons, making this a quick way to clear solos.
