Frontpanel Functionality
This is an overview of the functionality of the frontpanel of your SmartFade ML.
General Buttons
All buttons have LED’s. Some are multi-color. They light up when active, and blink when
they can be selected for the current function.
Power button
The power button is used to power up and shut down the system. See “Power-up and
Shutdown Procedures” on page 4.
Clear button
The CLEAR button is used to clear intensities and set memory faders to zero (press 2-4
times). Nothing is deleted, it only sets levels to zero. See “Clear” on page 82.
It can also be held with other buttons for some special functions, this is described in this
manual where it so applies.
Undo
The UNDO button is used to reverse some specific situations. This applies only to the last
performed command, and there is only one level of undo.
Device Selects 1-24
These buttons are used to select Devices, palettes, groups and
effects. The buttons under are used to select different modes.
LCD Menus
The two displays with wheels and buttons are
used for menus and device parameters.
Faders and Bump buttons
The 24 faders can be used to control intensities, param-
eters and memories or sequences. Select mode with the
Faders buttons above them.
Crossfader
The crossfader controls the Stack of 199
steps. It can be used for fading into manually
preset looks as well.
