The Channel Display options affect the Channel Displays (above the channel fader strips).

Channel Display → Bay / Main

The Channel Display → Bay and Channel Display → Main options change the number of Group, Aux, Sum and nested VCA assignments shown on the touch-screen displays. They can be used to simplify the displays or make space for the additional metering row(s).

Use the Bay options to adjust the Channel Displays (above the channel faders), and the Main options to adjust the Main Faders display (on the Central GUI). In both cases, the options affect only what is displayed, and not what is available.

For each entry, enter the number of assignments you wish to view - the metering resizes accordingly. If additional metering row(s) are enabled, then the maximum number of assignments is limited by the physical size of the display.

Channel Display → Multirow Metering

The Multirow Metering options configure the additional metering row(s) on the touch-screen displays. See mc²56 - Channel Display for more information.

Channel Display → Strip Layout

These options define which elements are shown on the Channel Display (for the first metering row). They can be used to hide elements to simplify the display or make space for additional metering row(s).
