Understanding Layers
Layers are useful when you need to access more input channels from the Engine than you have available faders (physical channel strips) on your Surface. Since any fader on any module could access any input channel on the Quasar Engine, you will need to assign four input channels to each of the four available layers on every fader module.
Configuring Layers
Using a PC connected to your studio network, launch a web browser and enter the IP address assigned to the first (left-most) fader module. When prompted for authentication, enter the user name "user" and leave the password field blank.
In the Configuration menu, click on Layers Setup.
Enter the desired input channel number for each layer of each physical fader; the "+4" and "-4" buttons can be used to quickly increment or decrement channels in groups of four.

Figure 1 - Layer configuration
Figure 11 above shows which of the 64 input channels available in the Quasar Engine will be loaded onto the four channel strips each time the Layer 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons are pushed on the Master Module.
Disabling Layers
To disable layers, log into the Master Module GUI, navigate to the Configuration menu, then to the Customize menu, and turn them off in the Layer Button Function dropdown.
