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.
The THRU setting is equivalent
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:
Note that this is SAMP1
for the ASSIGN A control
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
