LAYERING (FADER PAGES)
GENERAL
Layers, or Fader Pages, allow the user to access different views of the DSP channel structure of the mixer,
on the control surface.
INPUTS
The Control Surface for the Soundcraft Vi1™ contains one 16-fader Input Bay that allows direct access
and state information overview for 16 Input Channels.
Therefore four layers are required to allow operation for all 64 inputs, or 2 layers for 32 input channels.
Changing Layer is done by simply pressing the desired Input Fader Page key [A] or [B] or [C] or [D].
Additionally, there are 5 user-configurable layers, where the faders can be selected to control any
combination, such as:
* Arrange channels in any order on the surface.
* Assign VCA master faders along-side channel faders.
* Assign an important channel to the same fader on all 5 User Pages, so that it never disappears from the
surface.
* Assign only one half of a paired channel to User pages, saving faders.
* Assign Stereo Aux and Group Masters to a single fader in the Output section, instead of having to use a
pair of faders for stereo busses.
* Assign VCA Master faders along-side bus master faders in the Output section
