Here’s how it works:
After you have recorded controller data on your sequencer,
you may want to edit that data. FaderMaster Pro’s special
MERGE modes are designed to simplify the editing of
Continuous Controller data.

The procedure will be to play the previously recorded data
from the sequencer into FaderMaster Pro, while re-recording
the corrected data coming out of FaderMaster Pro onto a new
sequencer track. This is a fairly fail-safe method, in that you
need not erase the old MIDI controller track until the new track
has been proven to give audibly pleasing results.

(All this assumes, of course, that your sequencer has the ability
to easily select which tracks are in playback and which are in
record status. That may be difficult on certain hardware
sequencers.)

Merge Modes Defined:

Merge Off
This mode is used for completely replacing a track of
Controller data. For example, say you have used FaderMaster
Pro to record some volume tracks on a sequencer. You may
want to completely redo several of those tracks while leaving
the others intact.

Data coming into FaderMaster Pro is first examined by the
internal microprocessor. If Controller data comes into
FaderMaster Pro with the same Parameter Number and MIDI
channel that a fader is set for, that data is not passed through.
The data may then be replaced by new data when a fader is
moved. It is this new data that is recorded onto a new
sequencer track.
