Preset Faders

There are two rows of Preset Faders. In Normal mode both the top row and bottom
fader control the same Fader channel. The Fader channel number in this case is the
large number marked below the Add/Solo button. I.E. On an Event 416 Faders 1 - 36
In Wide mode both rows of faders are patched separately so that it is possible to
manually control twice the number of Intensity channels. In this case the top row of
faders are associated with lower numbered channels and the bottom row of faders are
associated with the higher numbered channels. I.e. on an Event 416 Faders 1 – 36 &
37 - 72
These faders are normally used to set the intensity of conventional lights such as PAR
64s or Fresnels to the desired level. The P1 (or P2) Master and the Grand Master fader
scale the level of the Preset faders.

8.1.1 Flash Buttons

Flash buttons are located below each pair of Preset Faders. In Wide mode the Preset
Flash buttons can be associated with either row of Faders by switching the Preset 1
Preset 2 switch located in the Master section. The Flash buttons perform two
functions:
1 - Flash: The buttons are used to momentarily flash a Fader channel to the level set
by the Add/Solo Master fader. The type of operation of the Flash button depends on
the setting of the Add / Solo Master switch as follows:
Add
Solo
Latch
2 - Inhibit: To prevent a Fader from appearing in any output, hold the Flash button
down and press the DBO button. Repeat this procedure to cancel inhibit. When a
Fader is inhibited, the channel LED and DBO LED flash together.
TIP:
buttons from the top faders to the bottom faders and vice versa.
