After finishing those settings the whole state can be stored as Layout Preset .
A click on Store and the desired memory slot makes the current channel layout
recallable anytime. The button All makes all channels temporarily visible again.
With a simple click on a button it will then be possible to easily switch views of
only the channels involved with the mixing of the drum section, the horn sec-
tion, the violins, or any other useful view. An optimized remote layout can be
activated here as well, with or without visible changes. Double-click the default
slot name to enter any other name.
Layout Presets are stored within the Workspace, so make sure to save the current state
before loading a different Workspace!
The button Sub activates another useful special view. When in Submix view , Sub will cause all
channels to disappear that are not part of the currently selected Submix/Hardware Output. Sub
temporarily shows the mix based on all channels from Inputs and Playback row, independent
from the current Layout Preset. That makes it very easy to see and to verify which channels are
mixed/routed to the current output. Sub makes checking and verifying of mixes, but also the mix
editing itself, a lot easier, and maintains perfect overview even with lots of channels.
25.5.4 Scroll Location Markers
Another feature to improve overview and working with TotalMix FX are scroll location markers
(TotalMix view only). These are displayed automatically when the horizontal size of the TotalMix
FX window is smaller than the channel display requires. Shown on the right side of the scrollbar
of each row they have four elements:
 Arrow to the left. A left mouse
click let the channels scroll to the
very first one, or most left.
 1. Marker number 1. Scroll to the
desired position and perform a
right mouse click on 1. A dialog
comes up with precise infor-
mation. Once stored, a left
mouse click will scroll the chan-
nels to the stored position.
 2. Marker number 2. See 1 for
details.
 Arrow to the right. A left mouse
click let the channels scroll the
last one, or most right.
Location markers are stored in the
Workspace.
Application Examples
While originally added to improve navigation in the HDSPe MADI FX (having 196 channels that
never fit on any screen), the scroll location markers are also helpful with units having less chan-
nels:

When the TotalMix FX window is intentionally made small in width, so only a few channels
are shown.

When some or all EQ or Dynamics panels are open. Then all relevant settings are always
visible, but require a lot of space horizontally.
