Each time the faders are moved full travel, or the <GO> key is pressed; the contents of
Preset are transferred to Stage. The previous contents of Stage are removed from the
playback and the next theatrical memory in the sequence is automatically loaded into the
Preset when the fade completes.
When in sequential mode, the LED in the <SEQ> key is lit and “SEQ” is displayed on the
monitor.
7.5 USING THE PLAYBACK WITH MANUAL FADES
The X-fade can be operated manually by moving the fader pairs. Manual fades can be made
in sequential or non-sequential mode. Manual fades are timed and profiled by the operator
each time they are played: the look of the fade follows the fader movements.
• If both faders are moved together at an even pace, a straight crossfade results.
• If one fader is moved before the other, a split crossfade occurs.
• If the preset fader only is moved, the content of the Preset are added to the Stage.
• If only the Stage fader is moved, the Stage content is removed from the playback,
thus resulting in a blackout (unless there is some other output).

Careful manipulation of the faders can result in a profiled fade where the fade rate changes
throughout its duration. For example, the crossfade could be started slowly and increased in
speed as the fade progresses. Many operators prefer working in this way, and the use of
high quality faders ensures maximum response from this method.
7.5.1 CONTINUING A MANUAL FADE AUTOMATICALLY
A fade that is started manually can be taken over automatically by pressing the [GO] button
at any point during the fade. When this occurs, the system calculates the remaining fade time
relative to the position of the faders, and uses that as the automatic fade time.
For example, if a memory has a time of 10 seconds and the [GO] button is pressed when the
faders are exactly half-way through their travel, the fade will automatically complete in 5
seconds - half of the original fade time. Both faders must be returned to one of the end-stops
before the next memory can be played back manually.
7.6 USING THE PLAYBACK WITH TIMED FADES
Playbacks can be operated automatically by pressing the [GO] button. Auto fades can be
made in sequential or non-sequential mode.
An automatic fade transfers the contents of the Preset to the Stage, following the fade times
of the memory, or using the default times if none were plotted. The times used in an auto
crossfade are those of the memory in Preset. The previous contents of Stage are removed
from the playback and the next memory in the sequence is automatically loaded into the
Preset when the fade completes.
Using auto fades ensures that the look of the transition is the same for every performance,
and helps to tie the lighting change in with action or music.
Each time the [Go] key is pressed, the contents of Preset are transferred to Stage. The LED
in the [Seq] button flashes quickly to indicate the pause.
If [Go] is pressed a second time, while a fade is still running, Pauses the progress of the
fade. The LED in the [Seq] button flashes slowly to indicate the pause. Pressing [Go]
resumes the progress of the fade.
