LCD backlit display
The two-line backlit LCD display shows the parameter values as you adjust them

Channel faders
The eight 100mm motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track
volume of your DAW. Depending on your DAW, you may use the “Flip” button to
switch the function of these faders to change other settings. They are all touch
sensitive to allow override automation the moment you touch a fader. Also, they
are motorized; they will automatically move to reflect the current level of the
selected channels in your DAW application. Any automation recorded in a project
will be reflected by the fader positions. Any parameter adjustments made with
these faders will be displayed directly above on the LCD display.
Master fader
This 100mm motorized fader operates the same as the other 8 faders. It controls
your DAW software's master channel fader. Any parameter adjustments made
with this fader will be displayed directly above on the LCD display.
