Preset Mode

Introduction

When the desk is in PRESET Mode all the 

memory functions are disabled, offering
the user a completely manual system. 

The desk can be operated by either two

12 (24) channel presets controlling 12
(24) channels, or a single WIDE preset
controlling 24 (48) channels.

In Two Preset operation, separate scenes 

are set up on PRESET A and PRESET B
using the individual channel faders. The A 
MASTER and B MASTER faders are used 

to crossfade between the two scenes.

With WIDE selected it is still possible to
crossfade between two scenes. The first

scene is set up on the PRESET A and
PRESET B faders and is stored in the
desk temporarily using the PRESET

CONTROL button. 

Once stored, another scene can be set up 
on the PRESET A and PRESET B faders. 

The A MASTER and B MASTER faders
are used to crossfade between the stored
scene and the scene on the PRESET

faders.

Crossfades between scenes can be
manual or timed. 

Overall output is under the control of the
GRAND MASTER.
