The Digital Scribble Strip
The digital scribble strip that runs across the centre of the desk consists of two display rows. By default, the top row contains
labels associated with the channel faders, and is therefore Focus mode dependent: In Analogue Focus mode it displays the channel
n
ames defined in the
70==4;A
t
ab of the Matrix Remote (switching to a momentary display of the fader value in dB when a fader
is moved), whereas in DAW Focus mode the top row normally displays the DAW track names.
Similarly, the bottom row of the scribble strip is associated with the V-Pot located beneath the scribble strip (see Page 76). When
Matrix is assigned to a layer controlling a DAW, the bottom row of the scribble strip displays either the name or the value of
t
he parameter controlled by the V-Pot. When controlling Pro Tools, the scribble strip only displays the name of the V-Pot. For
DAWs controlled via the MCU protocol, please refer to their control surface documentation for full details of their scribble strip
displays and messages.
See Page 106 for a description of the scribble strip in CC layers.
Total Recall LEDs
Most of the pots on the Matrix control surface have LEDs positioned immediately to their right. These are Total
Recall LEDs and are used for manually resetting the desk controls to a saved snapshot. You will find a full description
of their function on Page 60, but for now, all you need to note is that any pot with a Total Recall LED can have its
position saved and recalled using the desk’s Total Recall function.
