If the fader matching setting is changed from the factory setting REAL, to JUMP or CATCH as described below, then fader data will be recalled together with scenes.

Immediately after recall, though, the physical fader positions may not match the internal fader values and the initial effect of a moving a physical fader then depends on the fader matching mode.

Change the fader matching setting with the FADER MATCHING item on the MIXER screen of the PREFERENCE menu. Choose one of the following three options (see “Mixer preferences” on page 92).

REAL mode (factory setting):

The internal faders are always controlled by the physical faders.

In other words, the internal faders and physical faders are always matched. Scene recall does not recall fader values, and MIDI cannot be used to control faders.

JUMP mode:

The moment a physical fader is moved, it takes control of the level, sending its value to the internal fader.

CATCH mode:

The moment a physical fader reaches the value equal to the current internal fader value, it takes control of the level.

ªMatching the physical faders with internal fader values

Use the FADER NULL screen to match physical fader positions with recalled internal fader values.

With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the SCENE (NULL) key to open the FADER NULL screen.

This screen shows the current physical fader positions. The Ó symbols next to the fader icons show internal fader positions.

When a physical fader position and internal fader position are not matched, a or § will appear above the fader icon. These triangles indicate whether a physical fader needs to be (raised § or lowered to) match its internal fader position.

When a physical fader position and its internal fader position are matched, no symbol appears above the fader icon.

NOTE

The FADER NULL screen is only for matching physical faders with internal fader positions. While this screen is open, moving the physical faders will not change the actual fader levels (internal fader values and the fader matching mode has no effect).

Saving scenes

Save your current settings (scene) to the library using the following procedures.

1Press the SCENE key to open the scene library screen.

2Use the ¥ cursor key to select SAVE.

3Use the JOG/DATA dial to select the destination for saving. If you choose a destination that already contains scene data, you will overwrite it. To create new scene data, select “New Scene.”

4If you selected “New Scene,” press the SHIFT key and press the MENU (TITLE) key to open the title input pop-up screen where you can input the scene name (see “Titling” on page 15).

5Press the YES/ENTER key to save the current scene.
