6.6.6 arm
The arm modifier will arm and un-arm any channel for record. Hold down the arm button and touch
any MonARC channel or inject touch point. When the arm modifier is held down, the UPO indicators
show which (if any) channels are currently armed for record.
6.6.7 monitor
This modifier enables or disables channel input monitoring.
6.6.8 write, read, isolate
The read and touch modifiers put the channel into Pro Tools's read and touch automation modes
respectively. The isolate button turns off automation for that channel. They work exactly the same way
as solo and mute modifiers.

6.6.10 mem 1, mem 2
The memory MonARC modifiers allow the user to copy channel parameters across channels. For HUI
this includes pan position, aux send parameters, fader value and output routing. To store channel
parameters simply press and hold the desired memory modifier (mem 1 or mem 2) then touch the
desired channel parameter or channel block on the Tango screen. The modifier button will light up
when you have something stored in it. To paste the stored parameters simply touch an inject point or a
MonARC channel and the parameters will be copied to the new channel.
While holding down the memory modifier you can touch a work channel block, such as sends and pan
to store all parameters from that block. If you want to store individual parameters, such as a send level,
simply touch or wiggle the corresponding encoder (don’t worry, you won’t adjust the actual parameter
