Getting the Lights On
When Element first boots up, it will default to a 1-to-1 patch. See
for more
information. Since Element starts off patched, you can begin bringing up levels immediately.
Setting Levels Via Channel Faders
For more in depth information on using Element’s channel faders, see
Step 1:
Check to make sure the Fader Position Switch is set to Channel 1-40. The first two
rows of faders will then control channels 1-40. 1-20 will be controlled by the first bank
and 21-40 by the second bank.
Step 2:
Make sure Element is displaying in Live. Press [Live].
Step 3:
Check to make sure the Grandmaster is at 100%. The top of Element’s display will
show Grandmaster #% in red if the Grandmaster is below 100%.
Step 4:
Check to make sure the Blackout key is not lit. It is located directly above the
Grandmaster.
Step 5:
You can now raise one or more channel faders to control channels 1-40.
Step 6:
Lower the faders as needed to fade out channel levels.
Setting Levels Via the Control Keypad

Step 1:
