Normal Submaster
A normal submaster has channels at specific levels assigned to it. When these
channels are assigned, they are not "robbed" from any of their other
assignments. The same channel can be assigned a unique level in any number
of submasters. This is because normal submasters operate in what is called a
"Pile-On" mode; for any given channel, the highest level from any submaster
takes precedence.

XAMPLE
:
Let's say channel 21 is assigned to submaster 5 at a
level of 40% and to submaster 6 at a level of 70%. In the Stage display, when
submaster 5 is brought to Full, channel 21 reads at 40%. If submaster 6 is
brought up, channel 21 begins to increase when submaster 6 brings the level
over 40%. When sub 6 finally reaches Full, channel 21 reads at 70%.
You can create submasters in two different ways:
??
"live" with the [RECORD SUB] hard key
??
"blind" in the Submaster display
Record Sub Command
The [RECORD SUB] hard key records the instantaneous "look" of the current
Stage display, by recording all channels at their current levels. This includes
all levels that may be originating from level setting commands, cues, running
effects, or even other subs. The Record Sub command can be executed from
any display. When an effect is running, the Record Sub command captures the
effect channels at the instant the [ENTER] key executes the command.

Whenever any of the three dark gray "Record" hard
keys are used, the channel levels that are currently active in the Stage display
are recorded, no matter what display is being viewed when the command is
entered.
