Let's take a look at an alternate method of configuring the modules of your S6 surface within a bucket. If you take a look at the configuration below, you can see the first bucket features a standard orientation of
Fader,
Process Module, and
Knob Module in line.
It can be extremely beneficial however to swap the locations of the Knob and Process Modules to allow closer and more direct access to the Knob Module, especially when taking advantage of Attention Expand Zones for accessing Dynamics and EQ.
Although the module configuration slider (as you will see in the below screen capture) doesn't feature an exact
Fader-
Knob-
Process stack to grab, you can just as easily use the standard
Fader-
Process-
Knob and make sure to declare and touch in when the modules all light up in the sequence of
Fader-
Process-
Knob. So, when configuring the leftmost bucket I touch the
Fader, reach over to touch the
Process, then finally touch the
Knob Module, which in my case, is just above the Fader.
So in the screen grab we begin with the
Settings >
Surface and at the bottom touch
Config >
Surface hitting
Next to advance through the configuration sizes first. To reconfigure a specific surface bucket it is always a good idea to drag a blank stack over the desired area first. Swipe left or right on the module configuration scroller to expose all of the possible preset combinations.
You also might have noticed that when we cleared the bucket by dragging blanks, the
Display Module changed from having vertical lines to a grid of dashed lines. This indicates that it has been changed to a
Master Display Module, which is capable of displaying up to 32 targeted tracks from any attached workstation. To change it back into a standard
Channel Display Module, simply touch
Config >
Surface >
Display then
Clear.
