Intensity master
When set to this fader type, the slider will control intensity only. The bump button can be used to
preset (mark) non-intensity parameters stored to the submaster. If the bump is not pressed before
the slider is moved, the slider will also fade the non-intensity-parameters to their recorded values.
Once the non-intensity-parameters are at their end state, the slider only controls intensity. When
dropped toward zero, controlled intensities will be faded toward zero.
When non-intensity parameters on a intensity master submaster have been marked using the
bump button, the LED on its bump button will pulse to tell you that the non-intensity parameters
have been marked.
Pressing the bump button for an intensity master submaster that is currently bumped will release
the non-intensity parameters using the bump button timing. Its bump button LED will also be turned
off.
To toggle a submaster between a “Proportional” or “I-Master” fader:
• [Sub] [8] {Fader} [Enter]
HTP vs. LTP
Submasters can be set to be either Highest-Takes-Precedence (HTP) or Latest-Takes-Precedence
(LTP). This setting is applied to intensity only. Non-intensity parameters are always LTP. Ion
defaults all submasters to HTP. For more information on HTP and LTP see
HTP vs. LTP, page 7 .
To toggle a submaster between HTP and LTP:
• [Sub] [6] {HTP/LTP} [Enter]
Exclusive Submasters
Submasters can be placed in exclusive mode. This prohibits storing the contribution of the
submaster into any record targets. In essence, this acts as a fixed [-] [Sub] [Record] command.
To place a submaster in exclusive mode:
• [Sub] [5] {Exclusive} [Enter]
Priority
A submaster can be set to be independent, shielded, or no priority. This is done using the {Priority}
softkey. Ion defaults to submasters as no priority.
Independent
You can also set a submaster to “independent”, allowing submaster values to remain unaffected by
other submasters or playback fader instructions. They will, however, still be impacted by manual
control, grandmaster, blackout, park instructions, or other play faders and submasters on
independent.
N o t e : Inhibitive submasters cannot be set as independent.
