It is possible to “pick up” all the faders and then set
them to 0dB if adjustment is not required. There is
no need to “clear” them. This is a user preference. If faders are not cleared prior to recalling a new
scene it may be advisable to clear them
immediately afterwards to avoid confusion.
Any virtual fader can be isolated from further scene
recall by pressing the AUTOmation SAFE switch.
After the switch is pressed it will also be possible to
“pick up” the virtual fader at the recalled position
and adjust it using the real fader (exactly the same
as for store mode). Any subsequent scene recall
will have no effect on the virtual fader position. Any virtual fader can be isolated from further scene
recall by pressing the AUTOmation SAFE switch.
After the switch is pressed it will also be possible to
“pick up” the virtual fader at the recalled position
and adjust it using the real fader. Any subsequent
scene recall will have no effect on the virtual fader
position.
To regain virtual fader control switch the
AUTOmation SAFE switch off and then recall the
current (or next required) scene. Virtual fader
control will resume as the scene is recalled. The
fader will not be “picked up” and can be moved to -
infin if desired as long as it does not pass through
0dB. If it does pass through 0dB it will “pick up” in
the normal way. To regain virtual fader control switch the
AUTOmation SAFE switch off and then recall the
current (or next required) scene. Virtual fader
control will resume as the scene is recalled. The
fader will not be “picked up” and can be moved to -
infin if desired as long as it does not pass through
the virtual fader position. If it does it will “pick up”
in the normal way.
Any input channel virtual fader can be totally
isolated by pressing the FADER SAFE switch. At this
point the virtual fader will "snap" to match the real
fader position and any master VCA and automation
control will be removed. To regain virtual fader
control switch the fader safe off and recall a new
scene. The real fader can then be cleared to -infin
in the normal way. Any input channel virtual fader can be totally
isolated by pressing the FADER SAFE switch. At this
point the virtual fader will "snap" to match the real
fader position and any master VCA and automation
control will be removed. To regain virtual fader
control switch the fader safe off and recall a new
scene. The real fader can then be cleared to -infin
in the normal way.
It is not possible to store a scene in this mode. The
main reason this is not allowed is because multiple
overstores of faders which have adjustments made
would result in incremental virtual fader position
changes which in most cases would not be desired. When storing a scene the information loaded into
the scene memory will always be as displayed by
the leds. This still applies if a fader is isolated by
the fader safe or automation safe switches.
The Heritage 4000 has a flexible fader mode system which, used properly, will allow the user to benefit from the
full functionality of the console. There is no right or wrong way to use the fader modes as this will be largely
dictated by the environment in which the console is being used and the application.
It is worth spending some time to familiarise yourself with the fader modes and automation systems so that they
may be tailored to your specific needs, but as a guide:-
Used for the initial setup of a show and during early rehearsals. Also used for situations where no prior setup has
been possible. Fader positions stored to the automation memory are as per the real faders so great care must be
taken to set them correctly prior to overstoring any adjustments.
Used for later rehearsals and for shows where there is a large degree of change from night to night due to venue
conditions or ad lib’s etc. Each scene recalled is as it was stored but may need adjustment to suit the prevailing
conditions. Adjustments are clear and fast to implement with the real fader taking over from the virtual fader as
required. Overstoring is easily possible so as to fine tune the data in the automation memory.
Used for events and shows that are well rehearsed and predictable. Each scene recalled is as it was stored plus an
offset adjustment from the real fader if required. Any changes that are made are active for all subsequent scenes
until such a time as they are removed by the operator. Overstoring is not possible.
