Mixer Operation Notes

Banks Remember Last Fader Position

When a Bank switch is pressed, the faders snap to their last position in that bank.

The fader position may have been established by the user manually moving the fader. For example, move Fader 1 up to the top in the first bank. Switch banks. Switch back to the first bank, and fader 1 jumps back to the top.

The position may have been established by a received command. For example, move Fader 1 up to the top in the first bank. Switch banks. Send a command into the input of the MCS Controller, telling it to move fader 1 down. You will not see the fader move, because the unit is set to a different Bank, In other words, fader 1 is not currently visible.

Switch back to the first bank, and fader 1 jumps down to the bottom, reflecting the last command received.

Touch Inhibits Motor

When a fader is touched, the touch sensor turns off the motor, so the motor does not fight the user.

However, if commands to move the fader are received during the time that the fader is being touched, the MCS Controller remembers those commands.

So when the fader is released, the fader will jump to the position corresponding to the last command received.
