Am I nuts, or is there no way to invert the phase of a track in Samp11 Producer?

I upgraded from Samplitude 10SE awhile back, to 11 Producer version. I was pretty happy with 10, but the every so often I'd hit a limitation with the number of plugins I was able to use, etc. I'm a little surprised that my "upgrade" somehow has lost me that function...

I'm hoping 12 coming next month will be a big improvement. I'm having a lot of issues since I moved to 64bit.
I'm on my laptop without the codemeter so I can't load Samplitude/Sequoia to help you other than to quote Benjamin Mass " right click on the pan and flip phase for both right and left sides".

Thanks for the suggestion.
I took a look there again to see if I'd just missed it before...that option only comes up on the master fader Stereo Enhancer. No phase options at track level...that I can see, anyway.
It seems completely weird to me to have all the 5.1 surround options in this version, and no polarity inversion. I found a couple of freeware plugs to try out - I didn't want to have to resort to that, but I think I'll live. ;)

I did some poking around the Magix site this afternoon and looked at the screenshots - the phase button was right where I remember it from 10 and from the 11 demo. It's simply not there in Producer. There are a few other things missing too that I've found in my research this afternoon (side-chaining in the eFX Compressor - which is a function it definitely has in the other versions, a Mono button on the master bus...etc...) Maybe enough is missing to just spring for the upgrade to Samplitude (whatever they call the "standard" edition). I'm only a week into the first couple of projects that I'm recording with it, so this will be a good chance to see if I need to spend the cash or can deal with how it is.
Thanks again for checking :)

:D Yeah yeah...I know... I got it right once at least:
