The flexible hardware switches between three workflows. DAW mode controls channel functions such as Solo, Mute, Volume, Pan and Sends. Flow Mode controls more than 100 processing chains, or Flows, using macros to shape drums, guitars, synthesizers and vocals. Detail Mode adjusts individual processing parameters through five touch-sensitive knobs with RGB LEDs.
