Fader Configuration
This screen allows you to specify what your faders are assigned as: playbacks, submasters, or
grandmasters. These faders can be used by opening the virtual faders (see Slider Module, page
30) or by using the Universal Fader Wings (see Universal Fader Wings, page 335).
Note:
Unless you need a grandmaster or a cue list loaded to more than one fader, it is
generally not necessary to use the fader configuration screen. Assigning cue lists
and submasters can all be done from live.
Defined as Submaster Defined as Playback
Defined as Grandmaster
To change the configuration of any fader, use the {Page} buttons to access the fader page you wish
to alter. For the desired fader, click the appropriate button (playback, submaster, or grandmaster)
for the configuration you desire. Then click the {Mapped to} button and enter the number you want
to map the fader to (see Mapped to...below). When you are done making changes, click {Close}.
To leave this screen at any time without saving changes, you must click {Close}.
Mapped to...
This button is used to specify the action target of any fader. It allows you to define the fader target
that a slider is assigned to. Mapping is specific to the type of fader configuration (playback,
submaster, or grandmaster).
Submaster - A maximum of 300 submasters can be recorded. {Mapped to} defines the
submaster number that will be controlled by the specified slider. If a submaster slider is
mapped to 10, when submaster 10 is recorded it will appear on that slider.
Grandmaster - A maximum of 1 grandmaster may be assigned. A grandmaster inhibits all
live intensity values. If the grandmaster is set at 50%, all live intensities will be at 50% of
their actual values. Inhibited levels from the grandmaster do not impact data storage.
Playback - A maximum of 200 playbacks can be assigned. {Mapped to} allows you to have
the same playback appear on multiple pages as it represents a playback number, not a
specific fader or cue list number. To change the mapped location of any playback, click the
{Mapped to} button for that slider and enter the number you wish to assign to it.
Unmapped - Selecting unmapped for any fader leaves that fader open and unoccupied.
