Fader Configuration
This screen allows you to specify what your faders are assigned as: playbacks, submasters, or
grandmasters. These faders can be used by opening the virtual faders (see
) or by using the Universal Fader Wings (see
Universal Fader Wings, page 389
To change the configuration of any fader, use the {Page} buttons to access the fader page you wish
to alter. For the desired fader, click the appropriate button (playback, submaster, or grandmaster)
for the configuration you desire. Then click the {Mapped to} button and enter the number you want
to map the fader to (see
below). When you are done making changes, click {Close}.
To leave this screen at any time without saving changes, you must click {Close}.
Mapped to...
This button is used to specify the action target of any fader. It allows you to define the fader target
that a slider is assigned to. Mapping is specific to the type of fader configuration (playback,
submaster, or grandmaster).
Submaster - A maximum of 300 submasters can be recorded. {Mapped to} defines the
submaster number that will be controlled by the specified slider. If a submaster slider is
mapped to 10, when submaster 10 is recorded it will appear on that slider.
Grandmaster - 1 grandmaster may be assigned, but multiple instances of that GM may be
mapped. A grandmaster inhibits all live intensity values. If the grandmaster is set at 50%,
all live intensities will be at 50% of their actual values. Inhibited levels from the grandmaster
do not impact data storage.
Playback - A maximum of 200 playbacks can be assigned. {Mapped to} allows you to have
the same playback appear on multiple pages as it represents a playback number, not a
specific fader or cue list number. To change the mapped location of any playback, click the
{Mapped to} button for that slider and enter the number you wish to assign to it.
Unmapped - Selecting unmapped for any fader leaves that fader open and unoccupied.
N o t e :
Unless you need a grandmaster or a cue list loaded to more than one fader, it is
generally not necessary to use the fader configuration screen. Assigning cue lists
and submasters can all be done from live.
