However there is a very useful function
called “Swap” which allows single strips,
or every strip, to switch between two chan-
nels.So48channels(sources)couldeasily
be controlledfrom24 strips by Swapping
between the two layers at the push of a
button(1-24and25-48).
S5 Fusion adds further flexibility by allow-
ing any source to be controlled from any
strip, it is even possible to have two strips
controlling a single source. This is where
Layoutscomeintoplay.
Layouts & Control Groups
The position of sources on the surface can
besaved andrecalledasLayouts.For ex-
ample one Layout could be sources 1-24
and another sources 25-48 for a console
with48 channelsand24strips.More im-
portantly the most critical sources can be
placed next to the operator. For example,
dialog to the left and music sources to the
rightofthecenter.DifferentLayoutscanbesavedsothatthe
engineer always has the most important sources within easy
reach.Layoutsdonotsaveandrecallknobandfadersettings,
they simply recall the layout of sources on the control surface.
SnapShots are used to save parameter settings. Control Groups
allow a number of faders to be controlled from a single strip.
Layoutscan store/recalltheentire deskor onlycertainstrips
defined by the operator.
Central Control of Strips
The Master Control Module includes a complete strip for central
controlofanysource.PressingtheWavekeynexttoasource
fader brings that source to the central strip.
