The Mix page is a vertical view of the plugin slots on the Rack page, laid out as a typical mixer.
The Rack page is unrivalled when it comes to plugin UI control whereas the Mix page uses a traditional mixer layout to give clear overview of levels and other channel parameters across all slots.
3.1 Instrument Channels

- Insert FX slots are immediately below. Click ‘+’ to create more insert FX slots, with a maximum of 4. The browser can also be used to load plugins and patches in created insert slots.

- The send controls 1-4 are routed to Send Channels 1-4 respectively. If a plugin is loaded in Send Channel 1, the send 1 control on any of the instrument channels determines the level of signal from the instrument channel should be sent to the Send channel. When Send is set to 0, no signal is sent to the send channel.
- The Pre button changes the default post fader audio routing to pre fader. By default, the send signal is routed after the channels volume fader. Adjusting the channel volume by moving the fader will therefore result in a change to the send level. Sending the signal pre-fader means the signal stays constant and is sent to the send channel, even if the instrument channels volume is set to 0.
- The Tag name field shows selected tags but the channel can also be custom named. Double-click on the field and type a name.
