Creating User Dened Input Fader Pages
Step 1 – Open the Setup screens
Press the Setup button in the Input Fader Page control section.
This opens up identical Setup screens across all of the console’s input Vistonics
screens – see the picture below.
Each Setup screen contains three rows of buttons, corresponding to the User
Pages 1, 2 and 3 for that bank of 8 fader strips. If you load a Default Show, all
of the faders in all of the layers will have a default setting of NONE, which means
that no channels are yet assigned to any of the faders in the three User Pages
(the exception to this is the Vi2 – this has channels 25-32, 33-40 and 40-48 pre-assigned to the User
Pages 1-3).
Hint: A User Layer which has all the fader strips set to ‘NONE’ will result in black screens across the whole
console if you select this User page by pressing its Fader Page button after switching off the Setup mode.
This is the normal state of the User 1-3 pages in the console’s Default shows, the idea being to provide a
‘blank canvas’ on which can be assigned your required channel layout.
If you load a show that has had User Layers already programmed, then you will see these User Layers when
you press their Fader Page buttons, because the User layer setup is stored with each Show le.
