Submasters
Submasters can contain recorded channel levels, effects or subroutines. Submasters can
also be set to the Supermaster style, which allows them to master other submasters.
Playing back submasters that do not contain subroutines always follow the pile-on, or
Highest-Takes-Precedence, convention. This includes effect submasters, and submasters
created with the [Load Sub] command.
Submaster Pages
There are ten submaster pages available. If submasters are active when a new page is
loaded, the levels for active subs will not change to the new contents until you bring the
submaster fader back to zero and raise it again. The submaster’s LED will blink to indicate
that the active levels do not match the current page.
To load a new page of submasters, press [Page] [ x ] , where [x] is the page number.
Effects
Effects on submasters are always running. They do not appear on stage until you raise the
fader on the submaster. The submaster fader masters the channel levels in the effect. You
can also play the effect using the submaster’s bump button. In this case, the submaster will
follow the bump status set in the Submaster List (see Submaster List, page 128 ), and will
play the effect in the timing recorded to the submaster (see Submasters, page 100 ).
Subroutines on Submasters (Subs-on-Subs)
When Subs-on-Subs are played back, it is as if you have added fader pairs to the system.
LTP and HTP channels interact as if they are playing back on the A/B or C/D fader pairs.
The submaster fader masters the intensity channels.
Play back a subroutine on a submaster:
Step 1: Bring the submaster fader up to full (or to the level you want).
Step 2: Press the submaster bump button to start the subroutine running.
Play back a subroutine using Go To Step:
Step 1: If the subroutine is not currently active, make sure the submaster fader is above
zero.
Step 2: Press <S7 - More Softkeys> [S5 - Go To Subr Step] [ x ] , where [x] is the step
number you want to go to.
Step 3: Press the bump button of the submaster containing the subroutine. The step
indicated in step 2 above will play back and the subroutine will continue to run as
recorded.
Fade out a subroutine on a submaster:
Step 1: Press [Stage] or [Fader] . The Fadeout Subroutine command is only available in
the Stage and Fader displays.
Step 2: Press [S1 - Fadeout Subr] and then the bump button of the submaster
containing the subroutine you want to fade out. Press [Enter] instead of a bump
button to fade out all running subroutines on submasters. The subroutine’s
intensity channels will fade out in the fade time imbedded in the subroutine (see
Subroutines on Submasters (Subs-on-Subs), page 120 ), or in the fader clear
time if a subroutine fade time is not included.
