SW RETURN The levels of the five virtual stereo pairs returning from your
computers audio workstation software
OUTPUT The levels of the FireWire 410s eight analog and two digital outputs
INPUT The levels of the FireWire 410s two analog and two digital inputs
PHONES The levels of the FireWire 410s headphone outputs. Note that the
levels of each individual headphone output is still controlled via its associated
front-panel level control knob.
AUX SEND The levels of the L and R virtual AUX SEND buses.
When you first click on one of the group assignments listed above, the CTRL
buttons for that entire group assignment will activate. For example, if you select
PHONES, the CTRL button will appear over the PHONES faders in the output
channel.
This group assignment can be modified by clicking on an active CTRL button and
deselecting the associated channel faders. Changes to the LEVEL CONTROLLER
position will then affect only the selected channel faders. The control panel will
remember these modified assignments when you click to another LEVEL
CONTROLLER assignment group, then click back to the group with modified
assignments.
MAIN OUTPUT These two buttons provide immediate access to MUTE or DIM
the overall monitor output levels. Pressing the MUTE button (the button turns red)
will cease audio output to all of the FW410s hardware outputs. This is useful when
you wish to switch back and forth between monitoring with headphones and
monitoring with your speakers. Pressing the DIM button (the button turns green)
will lower the listening level of the hardware outputs by 20dB. This is useful if, for
example, you want to have quick conversation without losing the groove, then
return to your previous listening level.
MULTIPLE UNITS The control panel also shows a Unit 1 designation. Future
updates of the FireWire 410 software drivers will allow you to chain multiple units
together for increased I/O. Clicking on a unit icon will activate the control panel for
that particular unit, displaying its control panel settings.
Presently only a single FireWire 410 is supported. We suggest you check the M-
Audio website for information on FireWire 410 driver updates.
Mixer Page
The MIXER PAGE provides output routing and control of the FireWire 410s analog
and digital inputs, as well as the ten virtual channels returning from your Digital
Audio Workstation software.
