THE LEDS, SLIDERS AND PADS, THEIR FUNCTIONS & USE cont.
THE 18 SLIDERS - Have two functions:
1. CHANNEL LEVEL mode - to adjust the levels of the 108 Output Channels,
2. KEYBOARD MASTER mode - to adjust the levels of Scenes, Scene Chases, Environments or Environment
Chases instead of using the Keyboard, which can only switch them off or on.
The LEDs in the SLIDER ACTION pad and RELEASE SLIDERS pad indicate whether the 18 sliders are
controlling CHANNEL LEVELS or are operating as KEYBOARD MASTERS.

a. Pressing the SLIDER ACTION pad will TOGGLE mode,
b. Pressing any of the 6 OUTPUT SELECT pads switches to CHANNEL LEVELS
c. Pressing any of the 18 KEYBOARD SELECT pads switches to KEYBOARD MASTERS
Example of use - change the level of channel no.12:
1. Press Output Select pad no.1 to select channels 1-18 and CHANNEL LEVELS mode.
2. Move slider no.12, a pair of numbers will appear in the display, on the left is the current level of channel
no.12, on the right is the slider position which changes as you move it.
3. When the pair of numbers in the display match, the slider becomes
engaged to the channel and you now
have
overriding control of its level.
4. Output monitor LED no.12 will change with the slider position but it will also BLINK to show that its level is
being overridden by the slider rather than being controlled by any scene or chase that may be active.
