tested in a similar way.
In button test mode the Window shows a map of all the buttons, encoders and faders. When a button is
pressed the map turns green to indicate that the button has been pressed and released o.k. For encoders it
turns green when the encoder has been turned both ways. For faders it turns green when the fader has
