Setting Submaster Properties
Submaster properties can be set from the command line using the console keypad. Alternatively, the
properties can be set by holding down the [SHIFT] key and moving the trackball, to change the edit
fields from yellow (non-editable) to green (editable), then positioning the highlight over the field to be
set and using the level wheel or [+] or [-] keys to change the value. Values for the Up/Down and ATT
fields can be entered directly from the keyboard. Press [*] to cancel edit mode.
Fade Times
Each submaster has intensity up and down fade times and a single attribute fade time which is used
for attribute changes. When you move the fader from 0 to 10, the levels fade in over a period given by
the up fade time. Conversely, moving the fader from 10 to 0 will fade the levels out over a period given
by the down fade time. If the up and/or fade time is set to 0 the fade up and/or fade down time is
dependent on the speed of mechanical movement of the submaster fader.
If the fader is only partly moved, the fade period depends on the amount the fader is moved. For
example, with a fade time of 8 seconds, moving the fader from 2 to 7 (half of its travel) will give a fade
period of 4 seconds and then moving it to 9 (quarter of its travel) will give a fade period of 2 seconds.
You can enter fade values from one hundredth of a second to 59 minutes and 59 seconds , as shown
in the table.
