Controlling fades manually
The console provides two ways to take manual control of cue playback;
manual override and rate override.
Manual override
Manual override allows you to use the fader sliders to take manual control
of fade levels. When you take manual control of cue playback, moving the
fader slider controls the fade.
Leave the fader sliders at 10 before pressing [Go] to play cues back as
recorded.
When you move the fader sliders below 10, the cue runs until it reaches
the slider setting. You can set the slider before you play the cue, or move
the slider after the fade starts. The fade stops when it reaches the slider’s
level, and the slider then controls the fade. For example, if you set the
sliders at 8, the cue will play until it reaches 80 percent of its recorded
levels, then give you manual control.
Set the sliders at 0 before you press [Go] to take manual control of fade
from the beginning of cue.
Hint: If you start a cue, and the performers skip ahead to the next cue,
you have two options for speeding up to the next cue. If you do not need
the current cue to reach its full intensity level settings, press [Go] to
interrupt the current cue and begin the next one. However, if you need the
current cue to reach its full level settings, push the sliders down to the lit
LEDs and then back up to 10 immediately. Then press [Go] to start the
next cue.
Once the fade is complete, the cue is no longer controlled by the fader.
