The fader module with the OLED (organic LED) display contains six fader
strips (only one of them shown in the illustration on the left; approx. 50%
original size). Up to eight fader modules can be combined, giving the maxi-
mum configuration for a 48-fader desk. This fader module is available with
optional motorized faders as well.
The fader strip has been designed with very few operating elements. All other
functions are ava ilable through configurable user keys or on the central touch-
screen.
Every fader strip contains four large, configurable keys, the fader (optional:
motor fader), a rotary encoder and associated keys, an overload LED, a
graphical OLED channel label display, and a blue channel-active indicator
(illuminated if channel is ON, fader is open, channel is assigned to a main
output, and master fader is open. Since SW V5.0 it is also illuminated if a
subgroup is used as a summing bus on a journalist desk).
For direct access to the most used functions, the direct access keys are avail-
able. After pressing one of them, parameters can now be entered on the central
touch screen, either by the rotary encoders (e.g. input selection or gain) or by
the corresponding buttons (e.g. EQ on/off). The new settings are immediately
visible on the main screen.
The large keys as well as the user keys can be freely configured and assigned,
and the large keys have transparent snap-on caps for convenient labeling.
This allows for example to have ON and OFF keys at the lower end of the
channel strip if required, or to assign a different function to the TB key if the
source is e.g. a CD player. These settings are input source-related and will
automatically follow the source in case the routing is changed.
ON Pressing the key toggles the channel on/off function. In the audio path, the
on/off switch is located after fader and panning.
On status is indicated by illuminating the key.
The function is disabled when the corresponding fader is configured as master
fader for a certain bus.
 PFL The purpose of PFL is to feed the pre-fader audio signal of the desired channel
or AUX send, group, or master (program, record) to the PFL bus. If active,
the key is illuminated in yellow.
If the 'PFL Cut on Channel Active' function (also referred to as 'broadcast
PFL mode') is enabled, audio signals are temporarily cut from the PFL bus
as long as the channel is ON and the fader is open. In such a case the PFL key
is illuminated in amber.
Please note that this key may also be configured as CUE key. The purpose of
CUE is to feed the after-fader, after-pan and pre-ON audio signal of the desired
channel or AUX send, group, or master (program, record) to the PFL bus. If
active, the key is illuminated in yellow.
When pressing one of these keys, the corresponding page is displayed on the
main screen and shows the last active menu. There, the user can either adjust
parameters for this channel right away, or he can select a different page – by
the touch fields and/or the rotary encoders below the main screen, or by the
PC mouse and keyboard. As long as a page is displayed, its direct access
key is illuminated. When deselecting the key, the page that was previously
displayed pops up again.
Since the insert page is common for all fader strips, the INS key is not illu-
minated while the page is displayed.
