Channel HUI VFD Mode: HUI Layer VFD displays eight channel names in bottom line of VFD. First two VFD select buttons mirror the Channel L and Channel R functions. The name of the selected 

  channel/function is displayed in the center of the top VFD line. The Online status is also displayed at the end of this line.

Normal HUI VFD Mode: HUI Layer VFD displays the normal HUI VFD screen exactly as a real HUI would. The contents of the VFD depend on the DAW in use and other settings. See notes on the VFD above.

Global Mode: Global functions are always active when HUI Mode is on, no matter what D8B bank is active. Non-global functions are active only when HUI Mode is On and the D8B is displaying the HUI Layer.
