Channel Encoder

By default, the CHANNEL encoder is used to move your DAW tracks across the UF8 surface, in increments of one channel at a

time. If you find yourself in NAV, NUDGE or FOCUS modes, simply push the CHANNEL encoder to return to CHANNEL mode.

Nav

Pressing the NAV key changes the CHANNEL encoder to operate the playhead position in Pro

Tools, allowing you to navigate through your session.

Nudge

Pressing the NUDGE key puts the CHANNEL encoder into Nudge mode, which will allow you to

move selected audio regions backwards and forwards by the Nudge value you have set within

Pro Tools.

Focus

Pressing the FOCUS key puts the CHANNEL encoder into Focus mode, which emulates the scroll

function of a mouse. This can be a really nice way of controlling plug-ins or anything else on screen

that responds to a mouse scroll operation. Simply open a plug-in, hover your computer mouse

over a control and turn the encoder for hands-on control. The sensitivity of FOCUS mode will vary

depending on what plug-in or on-screen element you are controlling. You can use the mouse scroll

sensitivity setting in your computer preferences to adjust to taste.

Scroll Into View

The 'Scroll Into View' feature offered by Pro Tools is a handy way to select a track within

Pro Tools and make it the rst track on your UF8 surface.

In Pro Tools, simply right-click with your mouse in the selected track area (white area)

and choose 'Scroll Into View'.
