S3 Surface Controls Overview 16
Channel Strip Displays
At the top of each channel strip is an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display. When S3 is first powered on, the Channel En-
coders are in Normal Mode (see
Channel Encoder Modes), and each display shows track information as follows:
1 – Meter
Shows clip, peak, and normal values. It can show mono, stereo, or surround tracks.
2 – Track Name
Shows the track name as it appears in the application. When a fader is touched, it shows the value of the fader. Af-
ter releasing the fader it reverts to showing the track name.
3 – Track Number
Shows the track number relative to its position in the application.
4 – Parameter Name
Shows the name of the parameter currently assigned to the corresponding Channel Encoder. When an en-
coder is touched, it shows the value of the parameter. After releasing the encoder it reverts to showing the parameter name.
5 – Encoder Position
Shows the relative setting of the control for the currently assigned parameter.
6 – Automation Mode
Shows the track’s current automation mode setting, as follows:
• blank = automation is off
•r = read
•w = write
• rw = read/write
7 – Attention Indicator
Indicates that the corresponding track is the attentioned track. Any parameters adjusted using the Channel
Encoders in Channel Mode (see
Channel Encoder Modes) and using Channel Control apply to the attentioned track (see Channel
Control
).
Display Sleep
To preserve display life, the channel displays enter sleep mode when not in use.
