the Mixer will not launch if an Aurora-TB is not connected and functional. In addition to the
controls on the Main Window there are two menus with additional features.
For multi unit installations, there are tabs on the left side of the screen for each unit. When
the tab is clicked, then the settings on the main screen, and in the menus, pertain to that
individual Aurora. This makes managing a large amount of I/O simple, and allows for
keeping settings and connections well organized.
Each Aurora in a multi-unit system is marked by a numeric identification. The order of
devices can be changed, and will be covered in Section
. Each
unit’s position, from first to last, will be consistent with the order that the interfaces appear to

This feature provides the ability to save all user-selectable parameters. “Scenes” that contain
the state of all mixer settings can be saved to a file on the computer hard drive. Recalling
Scenes is a very quick and efficient way to revert the mixer to an appropriate state for
