General Information 11
Frontpanel Functionality
This is an overview of the functionality of the frontpanel of your SmartFade console.
General Buttons
All buttons have LED’s. Some are multi-color. They light up when active, and blink when
they can be selected for the current function.
Power button
The power button is used to power up and shut down the system. See “Power-up and
Shutdown Procedures” on page 4.
Clear button
The CLEAR button is used to clear intensities and set memory faders to zero (press 2-4
times). Nothing is deleted, it only sets levels to zero. See “Clear” on page 56.
It can also be held with other buttons for some special functions, this is described in this
manual where it so applies.
Undo
The UNDO button is used to reverse some specific situations. This applies only to the last
performed command, and there is only one level of undo.
SmartFade 1248 and 1296 look exactly like this 2496 console,
the only difference being that they have two rows of 12 faders
instead of two rows of 24 faders.
LCD Menus
The display with wheels and buttons is used
for menu functions.
Faders and Bump buttons
The 24 (48) faders can be used to control intensities,
parameters and memories or sequences. Select mode
with the Faders buttons to the right.
Crossfader
The crossfader controls the Stack of 199
steps. It can be used for fading into manually
preset looks as well.
