The fader bank scheme on TouchMix-30 Pro is great. It’s practical and laid out in a linear fashion,
0:13
which makes it very easy to navigate between the different banks of faders on your screen. But, what if
0:18
you wanted to change which faders were presented to you in a certain bank? Maybe you are only
0:22
using a couple of input channels but also need to access an FX fader or a DCA or sub group faders?
0:29
In this video we’re going to show you how to use custom fader banks on the TouchMix-30-Pro to get
0:34
the most show critical channels of your application in a single bank.
0:38
Before we continue, make sure your TouchMix is using firmware version 2.0 or later. If you need
0:43
some more information on updating firmware, I’d recommend watching our “How to update your
0:47
firmware video”. You can find the link in the description.

To create a custom fader bank, first press the “Menu” button. Now select “Custom Banks” under the
0:56
setup section. From this screen you can choose one of three banks to customize at the top of the
1:01
screen. It’s a good idea to give the custom bank a name to help stay organized and avoid confusion.
1:06
Once the bank is selected and named, press one of the 8 available fader buttons. Now assign which
1:12
channel you want that fader to represent using the assignment buttons below. Once you’ve made
1:17
your assignments, the change is effective immediately.
1:20
To use your new custom fader bank press the “Home” button to return to the main faders and press
1:25
the “Custom faders” button in the upper left-hand corner. You will see the faders rearrange according
1:30
to the assignments you have selected. The custom bank name is also displayed above the bank
1:34
navigation button at the top of the screen. Pressing the “Custom Faders” button again will return the
1:40
bank to its default setup. You can toggle back and forth between the default and custom banks as desired.

And that’s it! It’s that simple. Thanks for watching this video. We’ll see you next time.
