Fader Strip Control
Any fader strip can control any type of source (or summing bus).
The console mixes its active sources to the configured summing buses. The active sources are the ones
assigned to the control surface fader strips, and so the maximum number of mix inputs is determined by the
console frame size.
All MF Keys are programed by the configuration and are defined per source. All other controls provide the same
fixed functionality regardless of the configuration.
