Mixer Layers
The eMotion ST Mixer is, like most digital mixers, organized in layers. Layers represent categories, or types, of channels. Layer
Channels are the specific channels you are viewing and controlling. Select a Mixer Layer with the four buttons at the top of the
interface.
CHOOSE A LAYER TYPE
Layers are filtered by type and function:
Mixer
View the full mixer layout. All mixer channels, groups, effects and monitor aux busses, and link controls are
accessible here.
Mixer 1 and Mixer 2 are identical. By having two views of the same mixer, you can efficiently control the
mixer from more than one display. There several ways to benefit from duplicate mixers. Here are two
examples:
• View the input mode of channels 1–16 on one display and 17–32 on another. This provides a32-fader
console.
• Place the faders of a layer on one display and the aux sends on the other, so that you can have
quicker control of one set of channels.
Of course, you can instantly switch the views on the displays.
StudioRack
View and control the StudioRacks that have been set up in the StudioRack plugin.
Custom
Combine user-selected combinations of channels into a single layer view. You can create a Custom layer
from Mixer layers or StudioRack layers, or a mix of both.
Spill
Displays all member channels of a Link group. To the right of the Spill button is the Link select drop-down
menu.
