FADER TIMER PARAMETERS DISPLAY
Either programmable by the user to a precise time, or previously set with
OUT--Time
a 'dry-run' of the material to be FADED. It is the time when the FADE down
will commence, at the set FADE DOWN rate.
The OUT--Time can be set automatically by selecting the timer Minutes
value to below
0 0. Then, once the audio has exceeded the first hidden
threshold the timer will count until YES is hit.
The time is then remembered and displayed ready to do a FADE-out. This
is useful in a studio mix-down environment where one 'dry run' is needed
to locate a suitable fade point, after which the FADE will automatically
start at the same point each time the tape is run. The FADER automatically
resets itself after 5 seconds of signal below the 'hidden' threshold
(normally when the tape is re-wound). See FACTORY PRESET PATCHES

adjustable. The counter will not start until signal has exceeded the 'hidden'
threshold.
HIDDEN PARAMETERS
The timer starts counting when the TRIGGER is set to 'Timer' and the audio
source exceeds a hidden threshold. This is normally a -10dB signal level.
The timer automatically resets and a fade-up occurs when the signal drops
below a second threshold of -30dB for at least 5 seconds. These two
hidden parameters can be changed by loading the following FACTORY
PRESETS
126 - M Clk Fade 126 - M Clk Fade, with start to count threshold of -20dB
127 - M Pan/Fade 127 - M Pan/Fade, with start to count threshold of -30dB
128 - M Key=Fade 128 - M Key=Fade, with start to count threshold of -40dB
