JLCooper FaderMaster Pro - Manual (Page 37)

Automation Banks A1
through A8
Introduction
FaderMaster Pro’s Automation Banks allow you to control up
to 65 channels of automation. Applications include control of
sequencers or hard disk based digital audio workstations with
moving fader graphics, MIDI-controlled audio mixers (such as
JLCooper’s MixMaster), MIDI controlled lighting systems, and
more.
The automation banks are engineered to be both simple and
powerful.
First of all, they are very simple to program. Simply select one
MIDI channel, and one controller number. FaderMaster Pro
automatically assigns the controller numbers for all the faders,
each fader sending the next higher controller number.
For example,
In Bank A 1, moving faders 1 through 8 may send MIDI
controller numbers 1 through 8.
In Bank A 2, moving faders 1 through 8 may send MIDI
controller numbers 9 through 16.
Secondly, the automation banks borrow the powerful features
found in JLCooper’s mixing console automation systems.
With our unique “Touch” feature, you can seamlessly edit fader
moves simply by moving the fader.
FaderMaster Pro will get ready to “write the fader”, that is, start
sending MIDI controller commands, as soon as it detects that
the fader is moved. But it will not actually begin sending the
MIDI commands until the fader is moved across a “null point”,
that is, until the fader is “lined up” with previously recorded
