Loading Submasters

Submasters can be loaded with cues, presets, or palettes.You can convert an empty fader to a
submaster without configuring it in setup. Any fader can be configured and loaded with a submaster
if:

• the fader is not configured

-or-

• the fader is configured as a playback but has no cue list loaded to it

-or-

• the fader is configured as a submaster, but that submaster is empty.

Regardless of the fader configuration in setup, if the above conditions are met, the fader can be
loaded with the submaster specified on the command line.

If a submaster with data (or a playback fader) already occupies the fader, that fader must be
unloaded before another submaster can be loaded.

To release a fader that contains a submaster:

Step 1:

Press and hold [Fader Controls].

Step 2:

If necessary, select the fader page that contains the desired fader. Pressing the
appropriate page bump button on the fader wing or use the page controls with the
slider module.

Step 3:

Press {Release}.

Step 4:

Press both buttons ([Load]) of the desired fader. The fader will be released but will
remain configured as a submaster

On Fader Wings

Faders on fader wings can be configured as submasters by pressing both buttons of the desired
