Submaster Rate
You can place a rate on a submaster to adjust the playback of effects and subroutines. This
rate can be added to the submaster so that the effect or subroutine plays back at that rate
automatically.
Place a rate on a submaster:
Step 1: Press [Stage] or [Fader] . The Rate command is only available in the Stage and
Fader displays.
Step 2: Activate the submaster containing the effect or subroutine.
Step 3: Press <S7 - More Softkeys> [S5 - Rate] and press the submaster’s bump
button.
Step 4: Adjust the rate using the rate wheel or trackpad. The rate adjustment will occur
live.
Step 5: If you want to add the rate to the submaster, press [Enter] . The rate will be set
for that submaster, and the effect or subroutine will play back at that rate until you
clear or set a new rate. To set the rate back to 100, press [S5 - Rate] [Sub
Bump] [Clear] [Enter] .
Supermasters
Submasters set as Supermasters do not play back anything themselves. They do not
contain any channel levels and cannot contain effects or submasters. They do contain
assignments to other submasters containing channel levels, effects or subroutines. When
the Supermaster’s fader is at full, the assigned submasters can play back their full output
(dependent upon the fader levels of the individual assigned submasters). As you bring
down the Supermaster’s fader, the levels of the assigned submasters are mastered
proportionally.
N o t e :
Supermasters have no effect on inhibitive submasters.
