Submaster with a Range of Memories
When a range of memories has been transferred onto a submaster the
submaster fader controls the intensity levels of the programmed data in the
current memory.
The memory is released when the submaster fader is lowered to zero.
The SUBMASTER FLASH button becomes a GO button and is used to trigger
the Next memory in the range.
During playback, the memory range loops around, ie when the Current
memory is the last memory in the range, the Next memory becomes the first
memory in the range.
The Comments field in the Submasters Window indicates the First, Current,
Next and Last memories for the submaster.

submasters via the Submaster Setup Window.
