What does "native mode" with Studio One mean?

What does "native mode" with Studio One mean?
Asked by: james
This means that when you are using the FaderPort 16 with PreSonus Studio One DAW software, you have the ability to sync the FaderPort 16 to see exactly what you see in the Studio One Arranger window and console. You can also do things like bypass all the plug-ins on any track with the push of a button, and you can open the Channel Editor and enable your faders to control each channel's custom macro. With the Link Parameter, the Pan/Param encoder can follow your mouse to provide instant hands-on control of any parameter or lock the encoder to the current parameter. Additionally, you can also use the Session Navigator to quickly scroll through the different sections in the Arranger track.
