There are two MASTER faders: A and B. Their functions depend on what mode the
product is set to.
To toggle through the modes, tap the <MODE SELECT / REC SPEED> button
repeatedly.
In Crossfade mode, MASTER fader A controls the output of the PRESET A faders,
while MASTER fader B controls the output of the PRESET B faders. In this mode,
PRESET A and PRESET B will control the same 12 channels at all times. On Page A,
they will control channels 1 – 12, and on Page B they will control channels 13 – 24. This
mode allows the user to fade smoothly between two preset looks at will, as well as
control the channels live without the need to program a scene or scenes.
To operate the Stage Designer 50 in Crossfade mode:
1. Start with both MASTER faders all the way down.
2. Press the <MODE SELECT / REC SPEED> button repeatedly until the yellow
indicator LED for 1-12A / 1-12B is lit.
3. Compose the first look with the faders in PRESET A (1 / 25 – 12 / 36).
4. Slide both MASTER faders up simultaneously. PRESET A will be active.
5. Compose the next look with the faders in PRESET B (13 / 37 – 24 / 48).
6. To switch to PRESET B, slide both MASTER faders all the way down
simultaneously.
7. Repeat steps 3 – 6 as desired.
In Chase◄►Scene mode, MASTER fader B controls the total output of the currently
selected scene. MASTER fader A, on the other hand, controls the output of the physical
faders 1 / 25 – 12 / 36.
To set the product to Chase◄►Scene mode, press the <MODE SELECT / REC
SPEED> button until the red indicator LED for Chase◄►Scene lights up.
To utilize MASTER fader B in Chase◄►Scene mode:
1. Move the MASTER fader B to its maximum position (fully down) for maximum
effect. Adjust it for desired Record Mode and Scene Playback output. See
Scene for instructions on playing back recorded scenes.
To utilize MASTER fader A in Chase◄►Scene mode:
1. Move the MASTER fader A to its maximum position (fully up) for maximum effect.
Adjust it for desired manual output.
2. Move faders 1 / 25 – 12 / 36 to desired override positions.
NOTE: Faders will only override the recorded scene while new positions are higher
than recorded positions.
In Channel mode, MASTER fader B has no function. Only MASTER fader A will control
the output of all channels.
To set the product to Channel mode, press the <MODE SELECT / REC SPEED> button
until the green indicator LED for 1-24 A lights up.
