UF8/UF1 now display 8-character track names. Track Colours for Pro Tools HUI layer - Pro Tools track colours are now reflected on UF8 and UF1 displays. You no longer have to be in ‘Auto’ Selection Mode to select a track and put it into an automation mode. Simply select a track and then action the desired automation button.

Now the solo and mute functionality communicates directly with the solo and mute of Pro Tools tracks.
