Mixer tabs
The Mixer tabs control the low-latency foldback mixers which are available for every output pair,
including the analogue, digital, headphone and ADAT/SMUX outputs. Note that the ADAT/SMUX
mixer tabs only appear for ADAT/SMUX channel pairs which exist in the current ADAT mode.
Although the mixer tabs are always available for every output pair, it should be noted that the mixers
may be 'defeated' for each output by setting that output to follow its dedicated DAW feed, or by
setting it to be routed from the output of another mixer. This is under the control of drop-list controls
on the
Outputs
tab, which are duplicated in the output strip of each respective mixer.
Each input has a fader, a high-resolution
plus mute and solo buttons and a pan-pot. By engaging the 'Stereo' button beneath an input pair, the
pair is controlled by a single stereo fader, mute button and solo button, and the pan-pots are replaced
by a single balance control. The DAW contribution and output strip are always in stereo mode.
Note that if the mixer tab is not active (because the output pair is in 'DAW' mode or is routed from the
output of another mixer), the mixer controls are still available but the output mode control in the output
strip is highlighted in red.

Atlas drivers
For Windows systems, Atlas is supplied with a driver which provides ASIO and WDM audio
connectivity to the device. This driver is installed when the initial installation is performed. Thereafter,
this connectivity is permanently available. It is not necessary to run the Atlas Control Panel app for
applications to be able to use Atlas; however, the app is needed if any but the most basic control of
Atlas's functions is required.
The same is true in Mac systems, except that no driver is installed because OS X is able to operate
Atlas directly as a USB Audio Device Class 2.0 device to obtain Core Audio functionality. However,
whilst some degree of control is possible from the Mac's Audio MIDI Setup window, the Atlas Control
Panel app must still be run to control the majority of the unit's functions.
