Channel Controls

The US-224 has 4 channel strips and a master fader. The master fader controls the volume for any and all tracks that contain master faders. Regular channel strip faders never affect a master fader track.

Each channel strip contains a fader, a SELECT button, a SELECT LED, a RECORD LED, a MUTE button, and a MUTE LED. The four channel strips affect a bank of four contiguous tracks within Digital Performer’s Mixing Board window. The set of tracks being controlled may be changed as described in the “Bank Selection” section below.

The channel fader directly controls the volume of a track (unless it’s a master fader track). Select a track by pressing the SELECT button. The corresponding SELECT LED will light. Pressing a SELECT button will deselect any previously selected track(s). With the TRACK window active, the currently selected track is highlighted.

Pressing SET+SELECT will toggle the select state of a track. This may be used to select or deselect multiple tracks, or to change the set of selected tracks.

To pan a track, select the track by pushing its SELECT button, then turn the data wheel. Holding the SET button down while panning gives you finer control.
