You can adjust the speed at which your faders will follow automation
moves from 1 to 7, where 1 is the slowest and 7 is the fastest. By
default, this is set to ‘5.’ Slower speeds will provide smoother fader
movements. Faster speeds will provide snappier fader recall.
When you are done, press the Select button beneath the Back screen. This will return
you to the Setup menu.
9.2 Adjust Fader Touch
To adjust the touch sensitivity of your faders, press the Select button beneath the
Adjust Fader Touch screen. This will open the Fader Sensitivity menu.

You can adjust how sensitive the touch capacitors in your faders will respond. The
sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 to 7, where 1 is the least sensitive and 7 is the most.
By default, this is set to ‘3.’ If you find that the faders do not immediately react to your
touch, increase the sensitivity. If you find the faders to be too sensitive, lower it.
Please note: in some environments, increasing the sensitive too high may result in false
touches, so it is recommended to make incremental adjustments.
When you are done, press the Select button beneath the Back screen. This will return
you to the Setup menu.
