Section D: Crossfader Controls
12.Fader Start (A): Activates this side (A) of the Crossfader (#13) for use with components with the Fader Start feature. Moving the crossfader away from the left-most position will cause the device (CD / Turntable) to start play- ing. This allows DJs to activate a device by using the fader as if they were pressing Play. [Fader Start compatible device (CD / Turntable) is required. Fader Start cables need to be connected between the device and the appro- priate input channel on the rear of the mixer].
13.Crossfader: Controls the audio signal that is sent to the Outputs (Section B.) When the Crossfader is in the left-most position (A), only the channel(s) set to (A) on their Crossfader Assign switch (#31) will be sent to the Outputs. When the Crossfader is in the right-most position (B), only the channel(s) set to (B) on their Crossfader Assign switch (#31) will be sent to the Outputs. This allows DJs to fade (mix) or cut (scratch) between different audio signals. When the Crossfader is somewhere in between the two extremes, a “blend” or “mix” between two signals occurs. [Note: if NO line channel(s) have been set to either A or B (using #31) then the Crossfader is bypassed. Also, if the appropriate Channel Fader (Line Fader) (#30) is set to zero, no sound will be output.]
14.Fader Start (B): Activates this side (B) of the Crossfader (#13) for use with components with the Fader Start feature. Moving the crossfader away from the right-most position will cause the device (CD / Turntable) to start playing. This allows DJs to activate a device by using the fader as if they were pressing Play. [Fader Start compatible device (CD / Turntable) is required. Fader start cables need to be connected between the device and the appropriate input channel on the rear of the mixer].
