Assigning autofaders to faders
Once the relevant GPIs have been assigned to autofaders, the autofaders can be assigned to control faders on the
surface. This is done on the Access>AutoFader screen as shown in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3 - ASSIGNING AUTOFADERS TO FADERS
Autofader levels
When an autofader is attached to a fader and is enabled, providing the trigger signal is not present, the fader will go
to the OUT LEVEL complying with the Fade-Out Duration parameter, rather than snapping the audio to the Fade-Out
level. If an AutoFader is enabled, either from path or global enable, for a path whose GPI is currently triggered, the audio
should fade (up or down) to the Fade-In Level (if it is not there already), complying with the Fade-In Duration parameter,
rather than snapping the audio to the Fade-In level. When the trigger signal is present, the fader will follow the settings
made on the Access>AutoFader screen.
Autofader parameter settings
The AUTOFADER screen allows the settings of the autofaders to be configured. The available settings for all the Time
based controls are :
• 0 to 100ms in 10ms steps.
• 100ms to 1s in 100ms steps.
• 1s to 5s in 500ms steps.
The IN and OUT gain level settings are -100dB to +10dB.
Global Autofader Bypass
At the bottom of the AutoFader screen there is a copy of the Global Bypass button which effectively disables all
Autofaders.
Autofader indicators
When an autofader is assigned to a fader, the Fader display will show the AutoFader Number and the Meter display
shows when the AutoFader is active.
