Playback Looks Manually using the AB Fader Pair
Channel faders are "mastered" by the AB Fader Pair when two-scene operation is enabled.
This means that the top row of channel faders, Scene A, will be active when the A Fader in
the AB Fader Pair is at the top of its travel (farthest away from you). Channel faders in the
bottom row, Scene B, are active when the B Fader in the AB Fader Pair is at the bottom of
its travel (closest to you).
N o t e :
If you place the A Fader and B Fader off their respective zero position (for example, both
at full), both Scene A and Scene B become active. In that case, the channel fader at the
highest level will control the output for that channel.

You can flash scenes to full output using the [AB-Clear] and [AB-Back] keys. Use the
[AB-Clear] key to flash Scene A, and the [AB-Back] key to flash Scene B.
Playback Looks with Timing
For long crossfades, you may not want to crossfade manually between scenes. You can
set timing values for the upfade and downfade movement on the AB Fader Pair. The
crossfade is started by moving the AB Faders fully away from you or fully toward you. The
scene that is fading in will follow the upfade time, and the scene that is fading out will follow
the downfade time.

Slide the AB Fader Pair to the top of
their travel (away from you).
Move the channel faders on Scene A to
the levels you want in your first look
(Cue 1). Lighting levels will change on
stage.
Move the channel faders on Scene B to
the levels needed in the next look (Cue
2). This will not affect the stage output.
Slide the AB Fader Pair toward you to
crossfade from Scene A (Cue 1) to
Scene B (Cue 2). The speed at which
you move the AB Faders determines
the rate of change on stage.
Move the channel faders on Scene A to
the levels needed in the next look (Cue
3). This will not affect the stage output.
Slide the AB Fader Pair away from you to crossfade from Scene B (Cue 2) back
into Scene A. Since you have changed the channel levels on Scene A, you have
crossfaded into "Cue 3".
Continue this process to fade from cue to cue manually.
Slide the AB Fader Pair to the top of their travel (away from you).
Move the channel faders on Scene A to the levels you want in your first look (Cue
1). Lighting levels will change on stage.
