Channel Faders (Express Two-Scene/Insight only)
On Express Two-Scene facepanels and on Insight facepanels you have the option of
setting channel levels using the channel faders. Express Two-Scene facepanels have
dedicated channel faders, and Insight facepanels share channel and submaster faders.
Channel levels set with the channel faders are not captured, but will remain active under
HTP operation until the channel fader is moved back to the zero position.
To operate an Express Two-Scene console using channel faders, please see Express
Facepanel Two-Scene Operation, page 276 .
Use channel faders on Insight facepanels:
Step 1: The facepanel defaults to Submaster faders (the [Sub Mode] LED is lit). Press
[Sub Mode] to turn off the LED and switch to channel mode.
Step 2: Slide the faders to the levels you require.
Groups
If you find yourself selecting the same groupings of channels over and over, or you always
want to set levels for certain channels proportionally relative to each other, you can record
those channels with levels to a group . A group is a simple way to select multiple channels
with minimal key presses. You can also use recorded cues and submasters as groups, see
Using Cues as Groups, page 93 and Using Submasters as Groups, page 97 for more
information.
Record a group:
Step 1: Select channels using the procedure described in Select Channels, Dimmers
and Fixtures, page 72 .
Step 2: Set levels using the procedure described in Set Levels, page 75 . Only channels
with levels are recorded into groups.
Step 3: Press [Record] [Group] [x] [Enter] , where [x] is the group number.
Recall a group:
• Press [Group] [x] [Full] , where [x] is the group number, to recall the group as it was
recorded.
• Press [Group] [x] [At] [y] , where [x] is the group number and [y] is a level, to recall the
group at a proportional level. For example, you recorded the channels in group 1 at full.
When you recall
[Group] [1] [At] [7][5] , all the channels in group 1 will be set to 75%.
If the channels were recorded into group 1 at 80%, that same syntax would set the
group 1 channels to 60% (75% of 80).
Recall groups using [Only]:
Step 1: Press [Group] [ x ] to select the first group. You can use [And] and [Thru] to
select multiple groups.
Step 2: Press [Only] [Group] [ y ] to select only the channels that are common to groups
[x] and [y].
