Map Switch
Automation Mode Controls
The Automation Mode controls are used to display and set automation modes. These switches light to indicate that at least
one channel is in that automation mode. If multiple channels
are selected and set to different automation modes, all applicable mode switches are lit.
These Automation Mode controls let you change automation
modes during playback, and mirror the function of the
on-screen Automation Mode selector for each track.
The Map switch works with Custom Groups mode, Mix/Edit
Groups mode, and Plug-in mode. While in these modes, the
Map switch lets you further customize the control layout by
mapping individual rotary encoder controls to faders within
the Custom Fader channels.

plug-in appears in the Custom Fader channels, so you can focus a different channel in the Focus Channel section and keep
