CHANNEL STRIP Section
Locking a Channel Strip
46
Channel strip locking allows you to:
• Control tracks/buses that are not within the same channel bank (range of eight consecutive tracks or buses). For
example, you can control tracks 1 through 7 along with track 20.
• Control both tracks and buses simultaneously. For example, channel strips 1 through 4 can control tracks 1 through 4
and channel strips 5 through 8 can control buses 1 through 4.
When you lock a channel strip, the channel strip remains assigned to a particular track or bus in SONAR even if you reorder
the track/bus in SONAR, switch banks with the [FADER BANK] buttons or switch views with the [FADER VIEW]
buttons.
To Lock/Unlock a Channel Strip
Press [SHIFT]+[SEL] buttons to lock the channel strip.
To unlock the channel strip, press [SHIFT]+[SEL] buttons again.
To temporarily disable all strip locking globally, without losing the lock assignments, press [COMMAND]+[SEL]
buttons.
Press [COMMAND]+[SEL] again to re-lock the same channel strips.
When a channel strip is locked:
• An asterisk (*) is displayed at the end of the track or bus name on the LCD display.
• The WAI (Where Am I) display in SONAR shows a rectangle around the locked track or bus (refer to “Locked Strip WAI
Indication” (p. 47)).
If a track or bus that is locked is deleted from the SONAR project, the physical channel strip will automatically
be unlocked.
