If Freeze is on, any Assign faders that are above zero % when the Page

Times
Sets the default fade time for any memories. The time can be set from

Note:
Default times will only be added to new Memories. It is possible to edit the
settings for any Memory at a later time.

Increment
Sets the default increment between memories.

TIP:
If the increment was set to 10 and the first Memory recorded was M10 the
