Studio One Mixer Control

To control the Studio One mixer, press the [Mixer] button to select the mixer preset. The display’s left dot is illuminated while

the preset is selected and the Studio One mixer is being controlled.

Open/Close the Studio One Mixer Window

If the Studio One mixer is not in view you can press [Shift]+[Mixer] to bring it in to view. Press the same button combination

again to close the mixer window. While the Mixer preset is selected, your Impact LX continues to control the Studio One

mixer, even if the mixer window is closed.

Channel Volume & Pan

With the mixer preset active, moving faders 1-8 will control the first 8 mixer channels in the Studio One Mixer. The 8 pots

control pan for each or the corresponding channels.

Fader 9 controls the channel corresponding to the currently selected track so as you change tracks, you can quickly change

volume as you are working. If you have 15 tracks in your song and the currently selected track is 12, that would result in

faders 1-8 controlling mixer channel volume 1-8 and fader 9 controlling channel volume 12.

Mute & Solo

Fader buttons 1-8 control mute for each of the tracks the faders are assigned to control. If you prefer to solo tracks, you can

press and hold fader button 9 while pressing fader buttons 1-8. The 8 buttons will now control solo for their corresponding

tracks.

Banks Over (1-8), (9-16) etc

If your song contains more than 8 mixer channels you can bank over so the faders 1-8 control the next group of 8 channels.

To do this, press [Shift]+[Bank>] (the second fader button). The faders, pots and fader buttons are now assigned to control

channels 9-16. Push the same key combination again to control 17-24 etc.

To go back you press [Shift]+[<Bank]

One disadvantage is that Studio One does not give you any visual indication which group of 8 channels you are currently

controlling. The safest way to work with the Studio One mixer is to keep a group of 8 channels that you want regular mixer

control over, as the first a tracks in your song and then use fader 9 as you navigate through tracks to adjust volume for all

other channels.

Master Volume

You can control the Master Volume fader of the Studio One mixer by pressing [Fader button 9) and then move fader 9 while

the button is pressed.

Upon release of the button, fader 9 will revert to control the current channel volume.
