The Playback Keys

The Playback Keys
The keys used for playback control are grouped around the crossfaders.
Key Function or Command
[A] Press to assign a memory or an editor group.
[B]
Press to assign a memory or an editor group.
[GO] Pressing [GO] initiates a crossfade to the incoming assignment. The duration
and look of the fade depends on the fade times of the incoming memory.
While a crossfade is in progress, the LED is on.
[GO TO] Pressing [GOTO], in the middle of a crossfade, begins an immediate fade to
the next memory. Example: if there is a crossfade in progress from memory 1
to memory 2, pressing [GOTO] begins a crossfade to memory 3. This is
called a multifade. During a multifade, nult is displayed in the LED window.
You can press this key more than once in succession.
[BACK]
You can press this key more than once in succession.
[HOLD] Pressing [HOLD] halts a crossfade at any point in its progress. When the
crossfade is on Hold, the LED of the [GO] key flashes.
[SEQ]
When enable (LED on) memories assigned to the crossfader automatically
sequence in numerical order. When disabled (LED off) manual and automatic
crossfaders are between the current assignments and the memories do not
sequence.
[AUTO]
When active (Auto Assign LED on) Events assigned to memories operate as
the memory sequences on the A/B crossfader. When not active (Auto Assign
LED off) Events assigned to memories do not operate.

Automatic Go

Pressing [GO] initiates a crossfade between the currently active assignment and the
assignment "on board" (incoming assignment):
Incoming assignment
A memory
Grp
no incoming assignment
Important! When the faders are off their end pressing [GO] does not work. The error
message Go has no time or Go direction? Is displayed. To perform an automatic fade, you
must first manually return the faders to the end stop.
