you can see you have the ability to have different layers cover different portions of your physical display piece.
that is one of the reasons why i would prefer to have more layers than columns or clips per layer.
in the video he uses 4 "input areas" im planning on 5 with 3 of thos being doubled and mirrored and spread over 10 layers in resolume and projected onto 8 individual surfaces.

so something like...
layer 1 input 1
layer 2 input 2
layer 3 input 3
layer 4 input 4
layer 5 input 5
layer 6 input 1,3,5
layer 7 input 2,4
layer 8 input all warped to design A
layer 9 input all warped to design B
layer 10 input all warped to design C
with my ideal APC20 layout something like this if my shift theory works! A little bit of everything i have seen so far and using the "cozer" style fader lights of course!!!


so patch 1 would look like this

and when i press the shift button to activate patch 2 hopefully the only thing that is changed would be
1. clips launch area now amber instead of red with and launching layer 6-10
2. kill layer buttons would shift to kill layers 6-10 from 1-5
3. columns 1-8 would change from amber to red and now change decks 1-8
4. faders 1-5 controlling layers 1-5 opacity would now control layers 6-10
5. fader 9 would shift from composition speed to hopefully bpm control

which bring me to my questions.
1. i read about a "shift button" ability thru using a dual patch, is it possible to copy patch 1 and only modify the desired effect coding so the only parts changing are your wanted options being saved to patch 2?
2. has anyone done a tap button?
3. BPM on a fader? or composition speed on a fader??
4. Does this have a chance in hell of working for me? =)
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
