Signals assigned to the bus may then have internal effects, external analog effects and external USB effects applied in any combination.

  • Page 36: Magnetic Fader Maintenance

    OWNER’S MANUAL Magnetic Fader Maintenance The faders and crossfader in the Sixty-Two are designed with materials highly resistant to corrosion and most chemicals. While they will handle millions of operations, they may become dirty over time. Bad things may be spilled into a fader, but in many instances the fader may not be damaged and the sound quality thus unaffected.
  • Page 37 If the CUE lights flash three times, the sensors may have moved too far or all faders were not properly centered, and the faders cannot correctly calibrate. Problems?
