<<<<<<<<<Fader Calibration – Platform (v2.00 and up)>>>>>>>>>
We recommend that every Platform owner performs a fader calibration. The best adjustment
varies according to the DAW of choice and preference. In the digital domain (in your DAW)
valuescan move from 0 to 100 in an instant, but physical faders need to actually travel from point A
to point B. Fader Calibration allows adjustment to the properties of how the motor faders respond
when commanded to move.
Press and hold the Encoder Knob on channel one and start the device. Turn Encoder Knob 8 to
adjust the total fader response. It is also possible to adjust a single fader by now holding down
Rec on channel three while adjusting the encoder of each channel. A higher value results in
smoother, quieter response. A lower value results in faster movement speed. To save the new
changes and exit, press Encoder Knob 8.
Start with a slower movement, test in your DAW and evaluate, then adjust individually to personal
preference.
