Each channel strip in represents a separate instrument in your score . Large scores will therefore have a
large number of separate instrument channel strips – too many than can be comforTably viewed at one
time . Thus, you view a few channel strips at a time, grouped by different instrument sections .
Click a Section Name to See Instruments in That Family
You view a particular section by clicking one of these buttons that appear to the left of the Mixer console window:
8
All instruments, in the order they appear (top to bottom) in the score . This button does not appear if there is only
one instrument in the score .
8
Brass instruments in the order they appear in the score .
8
Keyboard (Keybd) instruments in the order they appear in the score .
8
One or more Harps parts .
8
Percussion (Perc.) instruments in the order they appear in the score .

8
SoundFX (effects) such as handclaps, thunder sheet, and whistles .
8
All Strings in the order they appear in the score .
8
All WWinds in the order they appear in the score .
If you do not have an instrument for a particular section, you do not see the button for that section .
If there are more channel strips in a section than can appear comfortably in this area,
then scroll left and right with the scroll bar at the bottom of the window
Show/Hide Master and Buses
Buttons on the left-hand side of the Mixer’s top panel enable you to see or hide the Buses, or Master channel
strips, or all eight . By hiding these, you get to view more instrument channel strips at a glance .
