Submaster bump buttons
A bump button is located immediately below each submaster slider. The
bump button’s function depends on its status (see below) and on whether
the submaster has a programmed fade.
If the submaster does not have a programmed fade, the bump button
allows you to bring up the submaster’s contents on stage instantly. Press
the bump button to raise the submaster to its full recorded level. Hold the
button to maintain the levels on stage. Release the button to remove the
submaster’s levels.
If the submaster has a programmed fade, the bump button allows you to
start the fade, or to reverse the direction of an ongoing fade. Press the
bump button to start the upfade. Press the button again to interrupt the
upfade and start the downfade.
Bump button status
Submaster bump buttons may be individually enabled, disabled or placed
in Solo mode. An enabled bump button functions normally, a disabled
button doesn’t function at all, and a button in Solo mode brings its
channels to their recorded level and reduces all other channels to zero.
If a submaster’s bump button is disabled or in Solo mode a D or an S
appears next to the submaster’s number on the Playback Submaster List
and the Status Bar.
