Press the P-switch downwards and the crossfader switches to control the channel blend in the headphones.

The touchpad allows you to bend a track, change EQ values and gain levels.
When pressing the P-switch upwards, the touchpad allows for controlling and setting pitch values, filter parameters and audio effect levels.
When pressing the P-switch downwards, the touchpad allows for controlling the headphones volume.
The touchpad is also used to navigate the track library and the device settings.
