• ARTIST/PROJECT (Current is default)
• TITLE (Current is default)
• MIX or SNAPSHOT (WORKING MIX is default)
• FM Time (can be a Cue Point)
• TO Time (can be a Cue Point)
• Independent Ramp or Butt Joins for FM & TO
• ALL - Complete Console
• CHS - Source Channels (specify which ones)
• CEN - Central Master Section
• Which Channel Sections (e.g. Fader, EQ etc)
• DESTINATION - Specify:
• FM Time (can be a Cue Point)
• TO Time - Entered Automatically, can be Edited

ADD LAYER example
The following example involves copying mix data
within a Title from Verse 1 to Verse 2.
1
Select the source data using the upper section of
the GUI. The default source is the current Artist/
Project, Title and its Working Mix. The mix data
for Verse 1 is already resident in the Working Mix
so this is the correct source mix for this example.
Any other source can be selected by clicking on
the appropriate
$ to the right of its name strip for a
pop-up list.
2
Having established the correct source, set a start
time for the source data in the SOURCE ‘FM’
section which may be a Cue point or timecode
entry. ‘VERSE 1’ is displayed in the example.
Click on
$ to the right of the name strip
in the ‘FM’ section for a different ‘from’ point as a
Cue point or click on the timecode entry for an edit
pop-up. Clicking on the large
4 and $ buttons
nudges the timecode. The merge transition can be
selected as a butt or timed ramp according to the
icon to right of the ‘FM’ label. The ramp time can
be adjusted by clicking the label below the ramp
icon for a pop-up.
3
An end time must be specified in the SOURCE
‘TO’ section using a similar method to that used to
set the start time, specified in step 2. In this
example it is ‘CHORUS 1’, which is effectively
the end of Verse 1.
4
A destination within the Working Mix must be
specified in the NEW LAYER ‘FM’ section. The
procedure is a repeat of step 2 but without needing
to specify a butt or ramp. In the example it is
‘VERSE 2’ in order to copy the data from Verse 1
to Verse 2. Once a from (‘FM’) time is specified
the ‘TO’ time is entered automatically. The ‘TO’
entry itself can be edited if required.
Note:
5
Further options include selecting the components
in the merge, the default being ALL which
includes all channels (CHS) and the centre section
(CEN). The example shows that CHS has been
selected in the SOURCE block upper left.
6
Specific channels have been selected by clicking
on the numbered buttons. The example shows that
channels 1-12, 23, 24, 33 and 34 have been chosen.
The source data will be applied to the same
numbered channels but can be applied to different
channels by clicking on DESTINATION.
7
A further option, the field at left lower middle,
allows individual channel and centre section
components to be specified. Clicking on ALL will
highlight every component whilst clicking on
NONE will de-select them all . They can also be
selected individually from either starting point.
The example shows that PATH, DYNAMICS, EQ,
CHAN (Fader) and its CUT have been highlighted.
