SaffireControl PRO has two preset buttons to step through the two main modes of operation; the first is the standard tracking mode (TRACK) for recording (the default mode when SaffireControl opens) and the second is for mixdown or playback (Soundcard mode: S/CARD) when you want analogue outputs 1-8 on the rear of Saffire PRO to match outputs 1-8 within the sequencer. The comprehensive monitoring capabilities of SaffireControl PRO mean that, without preset buttons, numerous settings would need adjusting in SaffireControl PRO to simply route 8 tracks from the sequencer to the corresponding Saffire PRO outputs 1-8 (Soundcard mode); all the output crossfaders and S/W switches may need adjusting. The preset switches mean that these two states can be alternated with one click of the mouse.
