JLCooper FaderMaster Pro - Manual (Page 27)

MERGE Modes
In the P Banks, each fader may be individually assigned to one
of three Merge modes:
➤ Merge Off
➤ Merge On
➤ Merge Conditional
Before describing what the differences are between these
modes, and how to assign the faders to these modes, a general
definition would be helpful here:
Merging means the ability of FaderMaster Pro to pass MIDI
data from its MIDI In to its MIDI Out.
A simple example of merging is this:
Connect the MIDI out of a keyboard to the MIDI In of
FaderMaster Pro.
Connect the MIDI out of FaderMaster Pro to a tone module.
When you play the keyboard, the MIDI data comes out of
the keyboard, goes into the FaderMaster Pro, and comes
out of FaderMaster Pro. When you move a fader, of course,
MIDI data also comes out of FaderMaster Pro.
The feature is called Merging (instead of calling it ECHO or
Soft Thru as it is called on sequencers) to make it clear that
the FaderMaster Pro is merging or combining the MIDI data
coming into FaderMaster Pro with the MIDI data produced
by FaderMaster Pro, as a result of moving the faders, pedal,
pushing buttons, or foot switch.
FaderMaster Pro, while merging, can selectively filter out
certain kinds of MIDI data, to make sequencer mixing and
signal processor control more predictable.
