Assign Sends Switch
The Sends switch invokes Assign Sends mode, in which the
channel encoders shows the sends on a channel.
When assigning a send, the encoder Select switch is used to
navigate down through Send menu levels, and the encoder
knob is used to scroll through available choices at each level:
• Send type (Interface or Bus)
• Individual sends
The Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on each encoder is used to navi-
gate back up the Send menu levels.

switch on the bottom encoder is used to navigate back up the
Insert menu levels.

termined by the Pro Tools Display preference for plug-in orga-
nization.
