**The Mixer mode shows**
- 8 horizontal faders which are assigned to the top row encoders. The meter starts from the center to be mapped on the pan on the DAW's mixer.
- 8 vertical faders which are assigned to the bottom row encoders. These can be mapped on the DAW's mixer volume and can also be controlled via touch.
- 4 buttons under each column (32 in total) assignable buttons.

There is an option to set a background image which is ideal for showing dB values. We made images for each popular DAW to match the dB values on the mixer.
To set a background image, click on the Background Image button and select an image from the ~\\MP\\Host\\MP MIDI Presets\\Images folder.
You can download background images for your DAW from [**here**](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tKjY2GC-t12vw_ogi78glaEkKR9upRh8?usp=sharing) and place them in the Images folder.
**Button Options**
The button options are the same as in the rest of the centered buttons of the MP MIDI app with a couple of changes.
Right click on a button and it will show the button options
In the Set Name section, you can set the name of the button.
There are 2 additional options.
The Copy options to row will copy the following settings to the row of buttons:

\- Type of button (Push/Toggle/Permanent)
The "Copy options to the same row in all pages" will copy the options to the same row in all pages.
