Moving Faders Menu
The top-level of the Moving Fader menu contains the Motors:ON/OFF prefer-
ence. This option allows you to globally turn all fader motors off, causing the
automation system to operate as a standard "VCA style" system. This is useful
for making trim moves on a fader which is following complex , previously
recorded automation moves.
With Mix off, traditionally the null lights are used to indicate a difference
between the physical position of the fader and the level of the DCA. However,
with our moving fader system, the fader's position always represents the true
level of the DCA as long as Motors are set ON. With Motors set OFF, the null
lights operate identically to those in a standard non-moving fader system.
When Mix is on and Motors are on, the green null light is on all the time
because the fader is, by definition, always at the null point. If however you
touch the fader cap and move the fader away from the automation null point,
the null lights will show which direction the null point is, relative to the
current fader position just like in the standard, non-moving fader system.
Pressing [F2] sets the Motors option OFF, disabling all fader motors, causing
them to operate exactly like standard, non-motorized automation faders (all
relative movement is indicated with the fader null lights). The console default
is Motors:ON .
