Topic: What is this orange dot on Total mix?

Hi everyone,

I checked in the manual but I couldn't find something about this:
https://ibb.co/T8GD5yP
I have an orange dot on one of the channels on my Totalmix.
Does anyone have any idea what this dot means/is?
(Sorry, for some reason I am unable to upload images- it's an orange dot literally next to the Pan knob of an input channel)

It's an input MADI channel.
Am I missing something?
Loopback is only available in output channels to my knowledge.

The orange dot indicates, for that particular input,
that you will record the loopback signal of the corresponding output instead of the usual input signal.

Loopback you can enable on any output, also MADI, so you can see it at the MADI input.

Introduced in TM FX 1.96
