When playing back a track, in the initial settings, the
positions of the faders (physical faders) on the top panel
and the actual level of the faders (internal faders) are always
matched, but a fader group or MIDI command sent by a
remote control to the unit could make them to differ. Even
in this case, when you move a physical fader, the internal
fader matches the physical fader value, and thereafter the
physical fader controls the level.
CAUTION
A sudden level change may occur.
