? NOTE: You cannot reverse the direction of a fade beyond the point

where you took manual control of it. If you took control of a ten second fade

after five seconds, only the last five seconds of the fade is available to control

with the playback fader. You cannot go back to the beginning of the cue

without using the Reverse command. (See the Stop/Reverse topic later in this

chapter).

If you want to simply speed up the rate of a running timed fade without

stopping it to take manual control, you can use the Rate command.

ADVANCED TOPICS: For more on Rate commands, see Chapter

22, Controlling Fade And Effect Rates With The Wheel.

Clearing Fades From the Playback

Faders

When a manual fade is currently loaded to a playback fader, you can clear the

fade from the fader by pressing the Take Control button. The playback fader

immediately becomes "empty" and the stage maintains the look that it had at

the moment you cleared the fader. Your position in the Cuesheet is as though

you had completed the fade for that cue, although you may not have gotten to

the end of the fade.

When a timed fade is currently running on a playback fader, you can clear the

fade by first pressing the Take Control button once to make the fade a manual

fade, then pressing it a second time to clear the playback fader. The stage is

left with the look that it had when you first pressed the Take Control button and

changed the fade to a manual fade, unless you have since moved the playback

fader.

BASIC RULE: If the Take Control button LED is on steady,

pressing the button takes manual control of the fade. If the LED is flashing,

pressing the button clears the fade from the fader instantly, leaving the stage

at its current level.

Automatic Fader Clearing Mode vs. Manual Fader

Clearing Mode: In the Setup display, you can set the Fader Clearing

mode to either AUTOMATIC or MANUAL. The "normal " setting is

Automatic Fader Clearing mode. This means that a fade automatically clears

from the playback fader when the fade is completed. For timed fades, the fade

1 2 ... 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 ... 293 294
