Modifying the Fade Rate

You can manually take over the fade rate during a fade with the crossfaders and the rate
wheel or preset a fade rate using the rate wheel.
The default fade rate is the fade times recorded in the incoming assignment. The default is
displayed as MEM on the playback display.

Moving the crossfaders manually

When a fade is in progress you can change the fade rate by manually "capturing" the fade.
Keypresses
1. Press [GO]
2. Move the faders until you
overtake the fade.
3. Continue moving the faders
until the fade is complete.

Using the Rate Wheel

You can use the Rate wheel to modify the fade time. Using the rate wheel allows you to
override the rate of a fade in progress or preset a modified rate time. Modified rate times
remain in force for all crossfades as long as the [RATE A/B] key is enabled.
The Rate wheel's range is from 'cut' to 'hold'.
As long as the LED of the key is on, the wheel accesses the fade rate.
Keypresses
1. Press [A/B RATE]
2. Use the Rate wheel (wheel 3)
to modify the crossfade rate.
