Navigating channel layers

All channels on the CS18AI are accessible though layers that display 16 channels at
once. There are two ways to navigate your channel layers. You can use the traditional
layer method or using unique PreSonus Filter DCA groups that bring the channels you
need to you without the need to remember which sources are on which layer.
Traditional Layer Navigation. Using the buttons in the Faders section you can switch between the available
channel layers.
1. Layer A (1-16) displays the first 16 channels on your channel strips.
1. Layer B (17-32) displays the second 16 channels on your channel strips.
1. Layer C (33-48) displays the third 16 channels on your channel strips.
1. Layer D (49-64) displays the fourth 16 channels on your channel strips.
2. FX/Aux Returns displays the returns from the FX busses, Talkback, Digital
2-track return, and Tape return on your channel strips.
3. Mix Masters displays the master sends for the 16 mix busses on your channel strips.
4. Group Masters enters into group masters mode and displays the Filter DCA group masters on your channel
strips. If you have more than 16 Filter DCA groups you can navigate to the additional channels using the
Layer A, B, C, and D buttons. To exit group masters mode press the Group Masters button a second time.
5. DAW switches your CS18AI between controlling the mix of your RM mixer and Studio One DAW.
Filter DCA Group Navigation. Using either the Group Masters mode or the Group button in the
Master Control section you can bring the channels you need right to your fingers regardless of which
layer they may be on.
