AUTO FADE OUT TIME
This field determines
the duration of a linear fade written to the Master
Fader when the
AUTO FADE
key is pressed.
This field can be set from 0.5 seconds to 10 seconds
in 0.5 second increments.
Since this fade is written directly using the Master
Fader, it is not possible to change its time value after
an Auto Fade has been performed.
To write an Auto Fade:
1
Press the
WRITE
key.
2
Hold
2ND F.
and press
AUTO FADE
at the
point where you want the fade to begin.
To erase an Auto Fade it is necessary to overwrite the
duration of the fade manually or by using the Write
To End function.
NOTE
A useful trick to remember: A linear fade is often not
musically desirable. Typically in these cases you will
begin the fade at a faster rate and end the fade at a
slower rate. Use the Auto Fade function to perform this:
Press
WRITE.
Hold
2ND F
. and press
AUTO FADE
at the point where
you want the fade to begin.
Continue to hold
2ND F
. and press
AUTO FADE
again
to restart the Auto Fade Time from the fader’s current
position.
This may be repeated as often as desired to slow down
the end of an Auto Fade to a mere crawl.
