Multi Function Faders

The ORB XF features 60 Multi Function Faders, which operate in three modes. MFFs can be switched by using the  
Fader Func. key.

In Channel Mode all 60 faders function as controls for the dimmers of patched fixtures. This is indicated by the MFF  
window being dark blue.

In Submaster Mode all 60 faders function as submasters. This is indicated by the MFF window being light red:
