Version 2.0 is a major update introducing the VCS - Virtual Control Surface - an abstraction of the entire console laid out in channel strips like a traditional analog mixing console. The interface is simple to use and easily adapted on the fly to suit many different workflow requirements, providing both the visual and functional benefits of seeing more than just the selected channel. All features of Version 1 are still available, with improvements. The complete console functionality is accessible via a simple, efficient and precise ‘intelligent’ user interface using the console’s own graphics. With a working knowledge of the console there will be almost no learning curve. The User Guide has been extensively updated and contains a lot of new information. Reading the documentation for the VCS is strongly recommended! A Connection Troubleshooting Guide has also been added which may prove useful to some.
