Status Panning
In this block, there is 
one more instance of 
the SOLO and CUT 
buttons, available 
separately for each 
Track/channel in the 
Fader section 
(see page 5-28) . 
This SOLO and CUT 
button can be used to 
solo or mute the Track/
channel that is currently 
selected for editing. The intention behind this is to 
help you to focus your attention on your editing 
instead having to search for the respective buttons in 
the Fader section.
