Strips
A CM408 module contains eight identical Strips, each with a Main and Swap channel
with independent settings. The Strip is the physical control area on the console that
contains switches, knobs, displays, and a fader. Figure 8-1 shows a Strip with its meter
and status displays that appear on the meter bridge above the channel, and block diagrams
for the Swap and Main channels.

A 96-channel, 48-Strip configuration could map all channels to the control surface:
Main (channels 1–48 to Strips 1–48); Swap (channels 49–96 to Strips 1–48). A 96-
channel, 24-Strip System 5 configuration cannot map all channels to the console at
once but could use two Layouts to easily interchange all channels.
