Timed faders
If you like, you can use the fader sliders to take manual control of fades.
For information on taking manual control of fades, see the section titled
Controlling fades manually later in this lesson.
Clearing faders
Each timed fader is equipped with a [Clear] key . To remove a cue from the
fader, press the appropriate [Clear] key. Press [Clear] twice to clear an
effect cue. Pressing [Clear] removes the cue from the fader immediately
unless you have reset the default fader clear time . For instructions on
changing fader clear time, see Setting default fader clear time on page 16.
Express has two timed faders that allow you to
play back recorded cues . In each fader, the left
slider (A and C) controls upfades. The right slid-
ers (B and D) control downfades. You may play
back a cue automatically, using the timing infor-
mation programmed into it, or you may take
manual control.
You can play back cues one at a time through a
single fader, or you can play back a different
cue in each fader simultaneously. You can also
play a cue in one fader, leave it there, and then
play another cue in the second fader.
For example, you may want to play a ten-
minute sunset cyc cue in one fader and play
several cues during the same period in the
other fader.
Express’s
faders function in level override
mode. This means that the fader sliders control
the percentage of completion of the fade.
