layouts strange behavior
 
Hey Eddie.
I generally use two layouts and switch back and forth between them.
Layout A has my VCA's and layout B is default which simply has everything set to auto-choose.
When I select layout A, the S3 populates the far left fader with track 12 no matter where I had previously selected.

Start a new session and create 40 tracks or so.
Attention track 20 - the S3 spills 20-35 - so far so good:-)
Select layout 1 from the S3 (named default in this case) - S3 spills 12-27 -not good :confused:
Attention track 6 - S3 spills 6-21 :-)
Enable layout 1 - S3 spills 12-27:confused:
if a add more tracks to the session, the layout simply replaces the default starting track with whatever falls into the 12th slot.

EDIT *****
I've been doing some more testing and found the following.

The track that is selected at the time that a layout is created will become the default TRACK in the auto-assign layout.

So.
1. Create 30 blank tracks.
2. Select track 1
3. Create a layout called Layout A and leave all slots blank (auto-assign)
4. Save layout
5. go back to PT and select track 10
6. created a second layout called Layout B and leave all slots blank (auto-assign)
7. Save layout

now when you select layout A from the S3 it will populate with 1-16
when you select layout B it will populate with 10-26

The behavior is identical on Eucontrol 3.61 and 3.7

Please help,
Thanks

I'll take a look on Monday when I'm in front of an S3.

Hey Eddie,
Just wondering if you've had a second to look at this.
Thanks

I think this is working as expected. When you save Layout A you are saving tracks 1-16, when you save Layout B you have selected track 10 (and I presume you have bank to selected on) so you are saving tracks 10-26

Ah, I understand.
Is there any way to suspend layouts or make some kind of a zero layout default?
It would be handy and make a lot of sense for when you are mixing and you want to jump to a layout, say VCA's, adjust some levels and then pop back to where you were in the session, ie, selected track.

Unfortunately not I think.
