LAYERSThe Summa surface has six layers allowing fader-control of 6 times as many paths as there are faders on thesurface. You can switch between layers using the layer selection buttons 1– 6 on the surface. Layer switchingoptions can be set per fader section. Fader sections can be ‘linked’, so that if a section’s layer is changed, the layerwill also change for all linked sections.Layer linking options are set from the Surface Layer pop-up which is accessible from the Monitor bar along the bottom ofthe Touch Display. This should be used along with Layer Switching Options which are located within Show settings.When changing layer, all fader positions, button states and control cell states (if in a strip mode) change immediately toreflect faders on the newly selected layer.Layer Switching OptionsTo access layer switching options, tap SHOW SETTINGS in the Show menu and select ‘General’. One of these twooptions can be chosen:• Change the layer of all linked fader sections• Change only the layer of the fader section containing the Accessed fader (any linked fader sections will alsochange too)The first option can be used if you wish to prevent a section of the desk from ever switching layers. For example, on aSumma 36+8, linking sections 1, 2 and 4 and selecting the first layer switching option means that all surface sections,other than section 3, will switch layers when surface layer buttons or pop-up layer buttons are pressed. Fader section 3will stay on which ever layer you select for it within the Surface Layer pop-up.The second layer switching option should be chosen if you always want the section containing the currently accessedfader to switch layers (along with any linked surface sections) regardless of whether you have set some fader sections tolock to a specific layer.FIGURE 1 - LAYER SETTINGS50 SUMMA Networked Audio Production System SYSTEM OVERVIEW
