Mixer Operation Notes

Banks Remember Last Fader Position

When a Bank switch is pressed, the faders snap to their last
position in that bank.

The fader position may have been established by the user
manually moving the fader. For example, move Fader 1 up to
the top in the first bank. Switch banks. Switch back to the first
bank, and fader 1 jumps back to the top.

The position may have been established by a received
command. For example, move Fader 1 up to the top in the first
bank. Switch banks. Send a command into the input of the
MCS Controller, telling it to move fader 1 down. You will not
see the fader move, because the unit is set to a different Bank,
In other words, fader 1 is not currently visible.
Switch back to the first bank, and fader 1 jumps down to the
bottom, reflecting the last command received.

Touch Inhibits Motor
When a fader is touched, the touch sensor turns off the motor,
so the motor does not fight the user.

However, if commands to move the fader are received during
the time that the fader is being touched, the MCS Controller
remembers those commands.

So when the fader is released, the fader will jump to the
position corresponding to the last command received.

Maximum (or Velocity)
Maximum controller or note velocity value.

If the switch is Latch Off (see below), this is the value sent
when the switch is pressed.

If the switch is Latch On (see below), this is the value sent
every other press, when the LED turns On.

Group
The selected control that you are currently editing can be made
a group member.

By rotating the encoder under the word Group, the LCD
prompts you to select which button will be the Master for that
control.

(Use the right most Encoder for Changing Pages)

Latch
Turning Latch off or on allows the user to set the behavior or
"action" of a switch.

When Latch is off, the switch is said to be "momentary". Its
only on for as long as you hold down the button.

When Latch is on, the switch is said to be "push-on, push on".
You push it once to turn it on. Push it again to turn it off.
