Bank-Switching Command Set
The US-224 has two switches that allow the user to select the bank of application channels that is
addressed by the four channel-strips. For example, an application with 32 virtual tracks would
define eight banks of four channel strips each. The Bank-L and Bank-R switches let the user
quickly shift the control surface to address any bank of four channels. There are two LED's
adjacent to the Bank-L and Bank-R switches, which indicate that pressing the button will cause
the application software to switch to the next lower or higher bank, respectively. It is OFF when
there are no further virtual fader banks available in that direction.
