Setting Layers For Controllers - ICON Inspire 5air Owner's Manual

Setting Layers for Controllers

The Layer function is an important feature for getting the most out of InSpire-air.
Each fader can have any MIDI channel from 1 thru 16. They can even all have
the same channel. If you are using multitrack recording software, this will allow
you to control 27 channels of digital audio volumes at once. If you program each
of the faders for CC 7, volume, you can shift between layers whenever a fader
from group 1-9, 10-18, or 19 thru 27 is needed.
Press the LAYER button. It will light up and remain lit.
The LCD will show the word "lay" and the letter "F".
The lower right corner of the LCD will display "F1".
These signals indicate that "Fader Layer No.1" is
active. The numbers of the faders match the
numbers on the labels. "F2" indicates that the faders
are now numbered 10 thru 18. F3 indicates fader
numbers 19 thru 27.
To scroll through the different layers of faders (F1, F2
or F3), use the +/- keys. Press the jogwheel to enter
your selection. The LAYER button will go dark. When
you move a fader, its newly assigned number will
show up in the LCD. (Note: this F designation is NOT
the same as an F-slot for preset memory storage.)
The knob layers E1, E2, and E3, expand the number
of knobs available from 9 to 24. E1 uses the numbers
on the panel, E2 uses 9 thru 18, and E3 uses 19 thru
24. These layers are useful for multitrack audio
software, as well as softsynth controls.
"If you are using multiple layers of faders or knobs, set them
Michael Says:
up so the layers have similar functions, or control one aspect
of your MIDI device, and another layer has a separate set of
parameters to control. Mixing up the groups will lead to
confusion..."
