22 SmartFade v3.0.1 User Manual
Patch Independents
Independent buttons IND 1 and IND 2 provide two outputs separated from all other controls.
They are intended to operate devices such as smoke machines, tab tracks, cue lights, etc.
• SOLO does not affect these outputs.
• The state or result of the 2 independent outputs is not recordable.
The Default Patch
SmartFade defaults to the outputs 97 & 98 for the independents.
IND 1 = DMX 97
IND 2 = DMX 98
This is easy to remember and provides immediate control with two outputs. It is also
possible to create a custom patch by assigning any DMX outputs to the independents. This
is done in the Patch. They are indicated in the patch as channels i1 and i2. See “Patch by
Dimmer” on page 20. See “Patch by Channel” on page 21.
