Fader Wing Interaction With Ion
1x20
When connected with a USB cable, the 1 x 20 will automatically be populated with the faders 1-20.
Any other fader wings will then be populated with successive fader pages.
2x10 or 2x20
Ion will automatically recognize the fader wings and their configuration (2 x 10 or 2 x 20) once they
are connected to the console. The system will configure the faders according to the configuration in
fader wing configuration screen, for more information see {Fader Wing Config}, page 104. The left
most fader will be fader 1 on page 1, next will be fader 2 on page 1, and so on.
Multiple wings connected
If multiple wings are used in conjunction with each other, configuration will automatically adhere to
the following logic.
1x20
Anytime a 1x20 is attached to Ion, it will automatically load the first 20 faders. Other wings will then
be populated, starting with the 21st fader.
2x10 and 2x20
When 2x fader wings are attached to each other, the faders will populate continuously across the
attached array according to the configuration in fader wing configuration screen. The top row of all
wings will be successive from one wing to the next. The bottom row will start where the entire top
row left off and then will also be successive from one wing to the next.
Therefore, when fader wings are attached to each other:
LCD
Top Row Faders
Bottom Row Faders
1 - 10
41 - 50
11 thru 30
51 thru 70
31 - 40
71 - 80
2x10 2x20 2x10
The display at the center of the fader wing shows information about the faders.
For submasters the sub number, label, and current value (0-100%) of the fader are shown. When
the page is changed, the current value will display the necessary percentage the fader must be set
at to match the required level of the submaster.
For playbacks the cue list number will be shown preceded by an “L” {for example “L3” = cue list 3).
Beneath this the current pending cue is displayed in an oval shape.
For Grandmasters, a “GM” is displayed and the current output percentage is shown (100% -
blackout).
