Navigation Section
This section gives you quick access to navigational shortcuts designed to help you �get around� your DAW, which sometimes can be the most time-consuming aspect of using a computer for audio production. This section has four buttons and a small two-character display. controlling channels 1-8 and you push the right Bank Select button, Baby HUI will now control channels 9-16. When considering the extensive numbers of channels supported by many of today�s DAWs, bank selecting is a key navigational tool on Baby HUI.

RTZ
RTZ stands for Return to Zero and returns the playback head (in software) �to the top� of your session (as they say in musician-land) or to 00:00:00:00.

� Channel Select (Left and Right)
Holding down the SHIFT button and pressing the left or right Channel Select button �jumps� Baby HUI over to the next adjacent channel on either the left or right side of its current location. For example, if Baby HUI is currently controlling channels 1-8 and you hold SHIFT and push the right Channel Select button, Baby HUI will now control channels 2-9. Another push will jump Baby HUI to control channels 3-10, and so on. Note: When changing banks or channels, the channel strips �remember� their settings even if they are not currently active channels. So, when you see the faders jump as you change banks/channels, you are just seeing the controller react to the new channel settings.

END
This button jumps the playback head to the last point in the session where audio or MIDI data was recorded. Think of it as the opposite of the RTZ button.

� IN
The IN Button is used during playback only. Holding SHIFT and pressing this button during playback drops a new selection point indicator along the timeline of the Edit Display. Playback continues even though the selection point has been set.

Bank/Channel Display
This two-digit display indicates the currently selected bank of channels on Baby HUI. Upon powering up Baby HUI, this display shows the currently installed firmware build for a period of five seconds, then reads �1� to indicate you are currently on Bank 1. A single push of the right bank button increases the display to �2� for Bank 2, and so on. Bank 1 represents channels 1-8, Bank 2 channels 9-16, etc. When navigating channel by channel (by holding down the SHIFT button), the display shows you the channel number associated with the first channel strip on Baby HUI (the one farthest to the left).

� OUT
This button is also used during playback. The OUT button drops in the ending point of the selection established by the IN button (see previous) and is indicated on the timeline. TIP: Use IN and OUT (not the awesome burger place) to mark sections of a song for setting up loops, punching in automation, or making specific edits.

Even though Baby HUI only has eight faders, it can control as many channels as the software can support, even though it only provides access to eight channels at any one time. Each group of eight channels is commonly referred to as a �bank,� and Baby HUI provides access to your software mixing console one bank at a time. Pressing the left or right Bank Select button �jumps� Baby HUI over to the next adjacent eight channels on either the left or right side of its current location. For example, if Baby HUI is currently

Transport Section
Baby HUI has a tape-style transport in the lower right corner of the control surface that provides control for the position of the playback head for a given song or session. In short, it controls the software application like a tape machine. Included in the Transport Section are five main buttons:
