The two signals that are controlled by the cross-fader are known as A and B.

You can set these to be any of the following using the ASSIGN A and ASSIGN B controls below and to the right and left of the program faders:

Programs 1 through 4, a sam- pler (SAMP 1 for A, and SAMP 2 for B) or THRU.

Note that this is SAMP1

The THRU setting is equivalent for the ASSIGN A control to OFF. In other words, if either

the ASSIGN A or the ASSIGN B control is set to THRU, no signal is assigned to go through the cross- fader on that side, and moving the cross-fader to the side with the THRU setting has no effect on that side. When THRU is selected, use the appropriate program fader(s) and the master fader.

Move the fader from the left (fully A signal only) to the right (fully B signal only) to perform the cross- fade between the two signals.

Signal flow

The signal flow is therefore:

Incoming signals are assigned to programs

Programs (and samplers) are assigned to the cross-fader A and B signals

Programs (and samplers not assigned to the cross-fader) go straight to the master, together with the mic

The cross-fader determines the A and B levels sent to the master

The master outputs (what your audience hears)
