6 – Faders

The X-9 faders are not all that they appear at first sight! Their behavior can be changed so that their “curve” can fit your way of working, so that they can

be pulled or pushed to increase the level, and they can also start and stop other devices connected to the X-9. See below for details.

Program fader “curve”

The fader “curve” decides how much the signal is cut then the fader is moved to the center position away from the “full on” position.

Fader at full

-6 dB

-12 dB

Volume

-24 dB

The program faders can be set individually (they do not all have to share the same setting).

The titles in this illustration refer to the explanation regarding setting as given in “Program fader curve” on page 19 (15Fc).

Program fader direction

As shipped, the faders on the X-9 work so that when you push them away from you, the level of the signal increases. When the faders are pulled towards you, the level decreases.

Some people prefer to work the other way round, so that pulling the faders towards you increases the vol- ume. Each program fader can be set individually to work the way you prefer. See “Program fader reverse” on page 19 (16Fr) for details.

Alternatively, you can set fader reverse in the fol- lowing way:

1Press and hold down a FUNCTION key and the matching ENTER key together.

2Press the CUE key of the program to toggle the fader direction, while holding down the two keys above. The CUE key lights when the fader is reversed.

NOTE

When the fader direction is reversed in this way, the fader start operation (see “Program fader direction” on page 21) is also reversed.

Fader start

The program faders can be used for automated start or stop of remote devices, using the fader start/stop jacks (see “Program faders” on page 8 for details of connections, etc.).

Whether the faders control the start/stop of the remote device is a menu setting, and you can enable or disable the fader start for each fader individually.

Alternatively, you can use the following method for setting fader start:

1Press and hold down a FUNCTION key and the matching ENTER key together.

2Press the program selection key (PHONO/ LINE /DIGITAL or INPUT/INPUT) while hold- ing down the two keys above to toggle fader start on or off. The selection key lights when fader start is enabled for the program.
