AutomationFADER LINKSFader Links are a useful method of ganging channels without the complexity of a Master/Slave style grouping system. In aFader Link, operating any Fader, Cut, Solo or Status switch will apply the same action to all the channels in the Link. Faderretain any level offsets provided no fader in the Link reaches the upper or lower extremes of the fader scale. If any memberof a link reaches the end of its physical travel all members of the link will not move beyond this point. To access Fader Links,press the Lnks soft key next to the Auto key.Note: Links are not available in ‘MOTORS OFF’ mode.To set up a new Link, scroll to New Link and press the V-pot push switch. This will create a new entry in the list suffixedwith a number. This entry will be automatically highlighted and faders can be added (or removed from the Link) by pressingthe fader auto switch. Link numbers are shown in the scribble strip above the fader and the read fader status LEDS willindicate the faders in the currently selected Link.To adjust the Link balance, hold one fader whilst moving another. This automatically isolates the second fader from the Linkwhilst the remaining faders continue to track the first fader touched or used.As far as the SSL automation system is concerned, operating one fader places all the faders in the Link in write. Links canbe dissolved at any time and all the automation data will still play out correctly.To edit existing Links, scroll to the Link using the pot. Channels can be added or removed by pressing their auto switches.Viewing LinksTo view links without entering the Links page, press the MISC Function key followed by the SLNK key which appearsbeneath it.Suspending LinksLinks can be globally or individually suspended at anytime. A link which is suspended will allow the user to move all fadersindependently.If a Link is highlighted, then the SuspdSel key will deactivate the selected Link and ‘suspended’ will be shown next to thelink number.SuspdAll will suspend all links in the list. Moff automatically activates the SuspdAll function. Touching two faders in thesame link group will suspend all faders within that group.Deleting LinksTo delete a Link highlight the Link, then use the Delete and Confirm keys.Page 7-16AWS 924-948 Operator’s Manual
