Continuity UI - Touch the big picture

The channel rotaries let you work gains or pans, then at the touch of a button, dynamically fold the display to show EQ or compressor parameters across the whole bank. Avantis Solo features a FastGrab tab on the right-hand side of the screen, giving you split-second access to key freely-assignable parameters like aux sends, EQ, compressor and FX on the currently selected or specific channel. The whole system is set-up to dynamically surface the information you need at any moment and put control right at your fingertips.
