Fader flip

Fader flip is a GUI-only function that changes input fader control. By selecting fader
flip, the input bay faders control the level of the selected aux send's contributions to the
bus master, instead of controlling the input levels.
>> To switch fader flip on and off
At a GUI screen, choose home
option (see "Changing the user interface preferences" on page 230).
Note: When using fader flip to control the aux bus levels, always use the GUI to check
the level. This is because the fader level markings have a maximum of +10dB, whereas
the aux bus levels only go up to +6dB. On paired auxes, the faders only the control the
level control knobs. The level/pan control knobs operate as normal for a stereo mix.

Setting up the effects rack

You can set up the effects rack (in the GUI menu's Effects
screen) to contain any of the eight available effects listed in
the Change Device Type window, in any of the 16 rack
positions. The diagram right shows the rack populated with
all available effects.
The assignable controls (shown in the Delay diagram) are
common to all effects, and let you control effects parameters
via the I zone (output bay's control surface).
Delay — provides simple delay
line-based effects. Delay times can
be specified manually or you can use
the 'tempo-tap' button. It has a
three-mode delay algorithm:
• Single — one delay tap (mono or
stereo processing).
• Dual — two delay lines (stereo
insert only).
• Ping-pong — two delay lines with cross feedback.
DN780 — is a reverberation device
that emulates the Klark Teknik
DN780 Digital Reverberator/
Processor unit and allows you to
create unique acoustic environments
of virtually any type.
Flanger — has one or, if configured
as stereo, two tap delay lines. One
tap is fixed and the other tap
position is modulated to provide
'thru-zero' flanging or single tap
modulation when 'thru-zero' is off.
Phaser — has one, or if configured
for dual operation, two stereo
phasers connected in serial or
parallel, according to mode setting.
