8-3. Fader Adjust mode

When you recall a scene, all the settings will be recalled including the audio level according to the Fader setting that was stored in each Scene. However, the physical Fader position won’t be recreated. The Fader Adjust mode is used to correct these discrepancies manually.

The fader adjust mode will also function in the normal mix mode, in addition to scene recall. In the normal mix mode, the FADER ADJUST key will blink to indicate that the fader position at switching on power is different from that prior to switching off power.

1.Press the flashing FADER ADJUST key.

The key will stop flashing and the character section will read “Fader Adj”. Also the level indicator section will show two dots in each Channel. The lit dot is to indicate the current Fader position and the blinking dot is to indicate the recalled Fader position which was stored in the Scene memory.

2.Adjust the Fader so that the lit dot meets the blinking dot.

The MASTER Fader will adjust both L and R dots at the same time. When this happens, the actual audio level will not change even though you have moved the Faders. If the current Fader position matches the stored setting, only one lit dot will remain in each channel display. When you finish adjusting all faders, so that all six dots are lit, press the EXIT key. The FADER ADJUST key light will turn off.

Now the Scene Recall is complete and includes the physical Fader position.

Caution

If you have set the Fader Fix to ON in the SETUP mode, you won’t be able to enter the Level Adjust mode. And the character section will read “FaderFixMode” as a warning message. See SETUP mode (page 25).

<Useful info>

Level Adjust mode

If you keep holding the Flashing FADER ADJUST key, the character section will show “LevelAdj?”. This is the Level Adjust mode. This allows you to compulsorily override the recalled Fader position with the current setting. When you use this mode, the result will be exactly the same as moving all the Faders after pressing the ENTER key in the Scene Recall. See Item 8-2-3.

Press the ENTER key. The character section will momentarily show “LevelAdj!”, then, recall the Scene name with E next to it. The flashing FADER ADJUST key will go off. This E means the current Fader position is now different from the stored setting. Even if you move each Fader at this stage, it will not change the stored Fader setting in the Scene.

8-4. Scene Direct Recall

There is one more way to recall the Scenes in addition to the method discussed in Scene Recall (8-2). This mode will recall the Scenes in numerical order.

1.Press the SCENE RECALL key and keep holding it.

The key will light up and at the same time, the EFFECT TYPE key and EFFECT PARAMETER key will start flashing. Note the cursor description “<“ and “>” above the EFFECT TYPE key and EFFECT PARAMETER key. If you press the EFFECT TYPE key,the Scene numbers will count down. And if you press the EFFECT PARAMETER key, the Scene numbers will count up. Each time you press either key, the character section will momentarily read “-Recall-”, then the stored Scene will be directly recalled.
