8.6 Control Setup – Custom Strip
The Custom Layer can have any combination of
channel, FX, master and MIDI strips assigned to its
faders.
This lets you arrange the faders you are using for your
show into one layer, or use the Custom Layer to
control your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
The screen presents an assignment button for each
fader. Touch a button and then turn the screen Rotary
to scroll through the available strips.
Use the Fn key ‘+1’ function to quickly assign strips in
order.
DAW control – When working with a DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) it is typical to assign all 16 faders
as MIDI strips so that the Custom Layer can be used to
control 16 tracks of audio within the DAW.
Touch button 1, turn the rotary until it displays ‘MIDI’,
then press Fn key ‘+1’ to quickly assign the other
strips for DAW control.
Turn on the ‘Custom layer only’ option if you want to
lock out the two standard layers and let the operator
work with just the Custom layer.
Use the space provided to label the custom strips.
