Background fades
If your show contains LTP channels (see LTP, page 43 ), you may see channels fading in
the background . If an LTP channel has the same level in a series of cues, and the first cue
of the series is not allowed to complete before you play back subsequent cues, the channel
will complete its fade in the background in the fade time of the first cue.
Channels levels fading in the background are displayed in purple, and cannot be cleared
from the A/B or C/D faders, since they aren’t really in those faders anymore. You can view
cues running in the background using the Fader display.
Clear background fades:
Step 1: Press [S3 - Backgrnd Overrides] to view the Background Overrides display.
Step 2: Press [ x ] [Enter] , where [x] is the cue number you want to clear out of the
background. To clear all background levels, enter “0”.
Step 3: Press:
•
[1] [Enter] to clear the selected cue’s levels from the background.
• [2] [Enter] to cancel the fade of the selected cue. This will stop the selected
cue at its current fade level and keep the channels in the background.
• [3] [Enter] to finish the selected cues fade immediately and keep the
channels in the background.
• [4] [Enter] to place the selected cue on the X wheel or trackpad for manual
control of the fade.
• [5] [Enter] to adjust the selected cue’s fade rate using the X wheel or the
trackpad.
