Selecting Layers
Input and Output Channels are arranged into Layers, as illustrated below. There are nine
Layers altogether: four Input Channel Layers, one Master Layer (or Output Layer), and four
Remote Layers.
To select Input and Output Channels for editing with the channel
strip controls, you use the LAYER buttons to select a Layer.
The LAYER button indicator for the currently selected Layer lights
up, and the channel strip displays show the Short names/Channel
IDs of the channels on the selected Layer.
The currently selected Layer determines the function of the chan-
nel strip Encoders, [AUTO] buttons, [SEL] buttons, [SOLO] but-
tons, [ON] buttons, channel strip displays, and faders. For
example, when Layer 1–24 is selected, [SEL] button #1 controls
Input Channel #1. When Layer 25–48 is selected, it controls Input
Channel #25. And when the Master Layer is selected, it controls
Bus Out #1.
The following table shows which Input and Output Channels are
controlled by the channel strips for each Layer.
The exact function of each channel strip fader and Encoder also depends on the currently
selected Fader mode and Encoder mode respectively. See “Selecting Fader Modes” on
page 60 and “Selecting Encoder Modes” on page 61 for more information.
