Configure Editor layout

You can assign the Surface fader strip layout and also a Custom Strips layout using Editor.  Assign any combination of:

Surface strips:

Select the top toolbar  Surface  button to open the Surface view.  There is one window per Fader Bank to match the iLive Surface model connected or simulated.

Custom Strips:

You can create a custom virtual fader layout with any number of strips and any number of layers (Tabs).  This lets you 'design' your own Editor control surface independent of a connected Surface.

Select the top toolbar  Custom  button to open the Custom strips view.

To assign the strips:

Use Editor Setup Mode / Strip mode (left hand toolbar). The Strip button flashes to warn you are in a setup mode.

To assign a single strip - Open the window with the channels (inputs, masters, DCAs) you wish to use.  Click on a channel, then drag and drop it into a strip in the Surface Bank.

To assign a range of strips - Click the start channel, then click the end channel while holding down the Shift key.  Drag the selected range to the start strip position.

To assign a multiple strips - Click on channels while holding down the CTRL key to select a non-continuous range.  Drag the selection to the start strip position.  The multiple selection is placed without gaps starting from the first strip position.

To remove strips - Click on the channel to remove and drag it outside the window.  That leaves a blank strip.  To remove the blank and shuffle channels up drag the blank outside the window.

To move strips within a layer - Click to select one or more and drag into the new position.

To create gaps between strips - Click and drag any channel into the position where you want the gap, then drag it outside the window. That will leave a gap.

Note - When you have finished assigning strips make sure you turn Setup Mode off.
