2.6 Block Diagram

The block diagram of an example 24 channel FaderMate installation is shown in Figure

2.6.1.

Figure 2.6.1 – 24 Channel Installation Block Diagram

A single

MCU

can support between 1 and 4 (inclusive)

FCUs

and thus up to 32 moving

faders can be accommodated. There is no reason (in principle) that an installation could

not include 2 or more

MCUs

to allow more than 32 faders to be automated (subject to

support in your preferred DAW software).
