16 Strips, One Master

A DAW-style mixer sits behind the pads. Every track gets a real fader, pan, mute, solo, EQ, compression, and eight sends — laid out the way you'd find them in Logic or Cubase.

Channel Strips

One vertical strip per track, sixteen in all. Each strip carries the full signal path for that track:

HeaderTrack number + program name

PanKnob with numeric readout

Mute / SoloM and S buttons per track

EQOpens the per-track 6-band EQ

CMPOpens the per-track compressor

FaderDAW-style throw with dB scale and gain fill

MeterContinuous level with peak hold

EQ and CMP open the same editors documented under Effects as pop-out panels, scoped to that track.

Per-Track Sends

In the expanded layout, each strip shows eight compact send bars above the fader — one per bus, tinted with that bus's color from the FX tab. Set send levels without leaving the channel.

Sends Matrix

For a bird's-eye view, the sends matrix lays out all routing at once — 16 tracks across, 8 buses down. Each cell is a compact slider, and the header row shows which effect is loaded on each bus.

Master Section

The master section anchors the right edge of the mixer with the final output stage:

Fullscreen Expand

The mixer opens as a tab, but a single click expands it to fill the window. The tab bar hides, and channel-strip widths adapt to the space available.

PER-PATTERN MIXING

Mixer state — levels, pans, sends, and mutes — is stored per pattern. Switching patterns swaps the mix along with the beat. See Sequencer for how mix snapshots travel with your patterns.
