FADER FLIP - SENDS ON FADER Button
Press to activate the M32's Sends on Fader function. This function aids with the level setting of channels sent to any of
the 16 Mix Buses. It is only for channels assigned to Mix Buses 1-16, and does not work for DCA groups, main or matrix
buses. The Sends on Fader function works in two convenient ways to cover the most obvious situations in a live environ-
ment:
When preparing a monitor mix for a specified musician
• Select the monitor bus (BUS 1-8 or BUS 9-16) that feeds the musician's stage monitor
• Press the Sends on Fader button, which will then flash
• Select one of the three input channel layers (INPUTS 1-16, INPUTS 17-32, AUX IN / USB or BUS MAST)
• As long as Sends on Fader is active all faders in the input channels section correspond to the send levels on the
selected monitor mix bus.
When checking or editing where a selected input signal is to be sent
• Select the input channel in the left-hand section
• Press the Sends on Fader button, which will then flash
• Select either bus channel layer (BUS 1-8 or BUS 9-16)
• The bus faders now represent the send levels of the selected input channel.
TIP: Sends on Fader can also be used for conveniently sending Bus or Main M/C signals to Matrices.
