(8) MIDI output settings (Sound strips only): Allows you to select a MIDI output. Visible only ifthe IO button is enabled on the left of the Mixer. Click the MIDI OUT label to select a MIDIoutput port, then select a channel via the additional menu on the right. These controls areequivalent to the Dest. and Channel selectors in the MIDI page of the Sound’s Output proper-ties (see ↑8.2.5, Sending MIDI from Sounds).Parameter modulation is not indicated in the Mixer. As a consequence, the value ofmodulated parameters might change even if their control elements stay at a fixed posi-tion in the Mixer. For example, if the fader of a channel strip is fully down but the chan-nel level is being modulated, the channel’s actual level might temporarily exceed thefader position, leading to an audible signal (and visible meter activity!) although the fad-er is fully down. In Arrange view, on the other hand, the Control area indicates the mod-ulation of continuous parameters via the ring around their knob. See section ↑7.5, Re-cording and Editing Modulation for more on modulating parameters.Available Settings in the Master and Cue Channel StripsThe Master and the Cue channel strips are similar to the Sound/Group channel strips describedabove, except for the following elements (numbers refer to the picture in the previous para-graph):▪ The Mute button in the Fader section (5) is not available.▪ The audio input settings (2) and MIDI input settings (3) are not available.▪ The aux routing settings (7) and MIDI output settings (8) are not available.▪ There is no Plug-in List (4) in the Cue channel strip.9.2.6 Using the Cue BusMASCHINE provides a dedicated Cue bus. This Cue bus allows you to route any channel(Sound or Group) on a separate output while leaving the main MASCHINE output untouched.For example, you can use it to prepare any Sound or Group in your headphones during a livesession: first send the empty channel to the Cue bus, then load the desired Sound or Groupfrom the Browser (or create one from scratch), add any Plug-ins, adjust any parameters in thatchannel, record Patterns for that Group as you see fit, and when you are ready, insert it backinto your performance!The Cue bus is also used for following features:Controlling Your MixThe MixerMASCHINE STUDIO - Manual - 506
