Channel Selector
The giant glowing button at the top of a mixer channel is the Channel Selector. By default, Channel Selectors
always display the name of the Source, with the exception of the two busses and master, which display the
name of the first instantiated effect. Click a Channel Selector to view all the information for that channel in the
upper Channel Details area. The Channel Details area (as discussed in “Channel Details Overview” on page 94)
is where you assign instruments, effects, and patches to each channel, so these buttons will get quite a virtual
workout.
Basically, the Channel Selector works as follows:
• When a Channel Selector is gray (as seen above), it means that a channel does not have any plugins
assigned to it and it displays “(none)” as the track name. Click a gray Channel Selector to display the
Channel Details area for that channel. Once the Channel Details are displayed, you may assign a sound
Source and various insert effects to a channel.
SHORTCUT: Shift-click a gray Channel Selector to open a Source Select panel for that channel. This saves
you a step since you don’t have to display the Channel Details before you select a Source.
• When a button is blue (as seen above), it means that one or more plugins are assigned to that channel
but that channel is not currently visible in the Channel Detail at the top of the screen. If you click a blue
Channel Selector, it will turn orange, and that channel’s parameters will appear in the Channel Detail area.
SHORTCUT: Shift-click a blue Channel Selector to open a Source Select panel for that channel. This lets
you instantiate a different Source without first opening the Channel Detail area. Ctl-click a blue Channel
Selector to uninstantiate all plugins on that channel, thus clearing it in one swift action.
• When a button is orange (as seen above), it means that one or more plugins are assigned to that channel and
that it’s the channel whose parameters are currently visible in the Channel Details at the top of the screen.
SHORTCUT: Shift-click an orange Channel Selector to open a Source Select panel for that channel. This
lets you instantiate a different Source without first opening the Channel Detail area. Ctl-click an orange
Channel Selector to uninstantiate all plugins on that channel, thus clearing it in one swift action.
