Synchronising Two SmartFades

To synchronise playback of two SmartFade consoles, just connect MIDI OUT from console

A to MIDI IN on console B. Now the main playback functions are “mirrored” from console A

to console B.

Functions

GO, PAUSE and STOP will be synchronised*.

In MEM mode the faders and bumps will be synchronised*

SOLO mode will be synchronised for MEM bumps*

Grand Master, Blackout and Bumps Master will be synchronised*

* These functions are transmitted from within the Basic MIDI implementation on the

currently set MIDI channel.
