Except for the
REC
button and the
ON
button, the buttons can represent
different functions.
Faders
Each Micro Fader module features six none motorized faders at 36mm pitch.
Because the faders are not motorized, there is the need for an Auto Takeover
mechanism that is an aid to manually synchronise fader positions between
GUI and physical faders. Auto Takeover indication is on the channel strip
display, on the upper row (Text0).
Auto Takeover
Auto Takeover works like this :
When the position of the physical fader differs from the fader value in the
GUI, the channel’s display indicates this by showing either FADER UP or
FADER DOWN. This is a request to the operator, to touch the fader and move
it to the identical position that the fader value has in the GUI. This can be
done very easily, without looking at the GUI.
As soon as the fader is touched, the display shows a value. This value is fol-
lowed by the word UP or DOWN. This means that the fader must be moved
the value in dB’s up or down to match the current fader value of the GUI.
The larger the value, the longer the way that the fader needs to be moved
until the current fader value is met. Since the value is being udated while
the fader is moved, it is easy to fade to the area where the value becomes 0.
Once the fader is there, the display indicates that Auto Takeover is complete
for this channel, by showing the word TAKEOVER, which will be flashing
for a couple of seconds.
This procedure must be carried out for every channel that is assigned to a
phisycal fader of a Micro Fader module, where the channel strip’s display
shows FADER UP or FADER DOWN.
