Twenty-six 100mm touch-sensitive faders are laid out in two blocks of 12 fader banks, plus two dedicated user-assignable faders, each complete with high resolution metering. The desk also features a pair of 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multi-touch screens, plus 58 individual TFT channel displays.

Another perk of the recent Pulse upgrade is the addition of Mix Minus functionality.
